Spring Break is here and everyone is heading for cruises, beaches, parties, and home? If you’re from SoFlo, it’s easy to turn your boring break into a staycation, mine will be filled with beach trips, Rocco’s guac, and shopping. If you get bored, there are so many things to do down here that it’s ridiculous. Here are 8 things to do when you’re home in south Florida for the week.
1. Go to Rocco's Tacos and Tequila Bar.
2. Catch up with your high school squad at Vinny's All Day Cafe.
Just like old times, you cut out of your lunch period and gossip at this hot spot over gourmet salads. This place is facey central, so don’t bother showing up unless you’re ready to see your frenemy, your ex, and your friendly.
3. Do the obligatory high school visit.
You might be out of school, but your friends who are a year younger aren’t. Head back to school, show off your new letters, and bring your mini-me lunch! Nothing feels better than walking back in and knowing that you’re the cool college kid now.
4. Work on your tan at the beach.
What’s the point of living in sunny South Florida if you aren't going to take advantage of it? It’d be kind of depressing to go back to school if everyone else has spring break tans and you’re paler than when you left for home. We live at the beach, so use it!
5. Go to an FAU Frat party.
Chances are good that a few kids from your friend group go to FAU, so an invite is only a text away. Hit the “Frat Mansion,” throw some smiles, throw some shade, and tell no one that you were there.
6. Go to Sloan's Ice Cream Parlor.
Do this one for the Insta. This cute little ice cream shop was a favorite when you were in high school. Their fresh baked cookies, cool flavors, and see through bathroom doors… are all reasons why we love it.
7. Lounge by the pool.
If you don’t feel like hauling your cookies to the beach, head to your neighborhood club’s pool or to a friend’s. Take some cute pictures to post and work on your tan (I'm not kidding).
8. Go shopping at the Town Center.
Refresh your closet and get some new outfits. Hit your favorite boutiques like Teen Angel and Bella for dresses that no one else will have on your next date function. Get a bunch of things that you know would be perfect for upcoming theme parties and finally get those shoes that you’ve been dying for.
However you chose to spend your break, have fun and use sunscreen!
