Spring break is an exciting time. Beaches, partying, drinking — the whole nine yards. Unfortunately, if you haven't planned an elaborate getaway to a tropical island with a group of your friends because you can't afford it or your parents just were not down, spring break can get a little dull.
Luckily, there are some fun and productive things you can do to distract yourself from the fact that instead of getting drunk on a beautiful beach, you're sitting on your couch watching "Bob's Burgers."
1. Spring cleaning.
What better way to be productive over spring break than to finally organize your bedroom desk that you haven't used since sophomore year of high school. Who knows? Maybe you'll finally find your Tamagotchi that's been missing for eight years.
2. Catch up on "Grey's Anatomy."
Admit it, you've been putting off finishing this show since the day you accidentally read online that your favorite character was going to die. It's a life changing experience that we all have to endure, so go ahead, finish it.
3. Work out.
Although you won't be showing off your bod on the beaches of Miami like the rest of your friends, why not get a head start for this summer. Instead of sulking about how great your friends look in their bikinis, go ensure that you will too.
4. Visit your grandma.
You only get so many breaks during the semester and she misses you. Maybe you'll even get your favorite cookies out of it.
5. Go to all the delis from your hometown.
Everyone knows one of the best parts of being home is finally getting a Parkway Hero and diabetes filled Parkway Mix iced coffee. Utilize the time home to your benefit and fill your stomach with quality cold cuts and sodium filled condiments.
6. Stalk the Facebook pictures of your friends on vacation.
It's inevitable; you're going to do it. So at some point, you're gonna have to give in and cry onto your keyboard at all of the pictures of your friends enjoying a margarita by the pool and going clubbing every night.
7. Online shopping.
While the rest of your friends are wasting their time having the time of their lives, you can purchase the trendiest spring wardrobe to come back to school in. While they're sporting their tan, you'll be sporting a brand new sundress from Brandy Melville. Who's the real winner here?
Spring break doesn't have to be the most depressing part of your year. Show your friends that even though you aren't going to Cancun to dance on a booze cruise and get a killer tan, you can still spend your time productively (without the hangover).
