The best part about the spring semester is spring break. Although many students have already had spring break, some are having it later in the semester. What can one student do during a week off from waking up at 6 a.m. to get to class? Here are some ideas.

1. Work.

The best way to pass the time is to find a job for spring break. At least you will be making money and have some cash when you go back to campus.

2. Road trip.

Find some friends, pile up in a car and go on a road trip to anywhere. Spring break is a great time to take a road trip and explore places in the United States that you have never explored before.

3. Sleep.

Many students are probably sleep deprived by the time spring break comes around, so the best thing to do is to catch up on sleep and take a 12-hour long nap each day.

4. Homework.

Sadly, many professors assign homework over spring break. Do your homework early so you don’t have to worry about it the last day of spring break. Then you have the entire week to do whatever you want.

5. Shopping.

Now who doesn’t like shopping!? Spring is just weeks away. Short sleeved shirts and shorts will be back in style. Time to make a trip to one of your favorite outlet stores.

6. Volunteer.

Help others in your community, go to a soup kitchen or clean a park. The best thing to do for others is to help them when they need help.

7. Pamper yourself.

Go out, get your nails done, get your hair done or get a massage! Just do something for yourself!

8. Relax.

Remember to breathe and relax. It's spring break and you shouldn’t be worrying about your grades during that time. The following week you should be doing that, but during that week take your mind off of it.

Have a great spring break!
