A Broke College Student's Guide To Spring Break
GlassDuffle

Have no money to go anywhere over spring break? That's O.K. I feel that. So I am creating a list of things for people to do if you're like me. You have no money and really no friends since all of them are going to different places for spring break. You need something to do to keep yourself entertained. I have a list that will make not being in Florida a little more bearable.

1. A picnic on campus

Pack some sandwiches, some fruit, grab a bag of chips and some muffins and find a beautiful spot on your campus. I bet there are some unknown places you can go for some peace and quiet and good vibes.

2. Go to the lake

If you're near a lake or ocean, go enjoy the beach. It might not be Florida warm weather but at least you get out into nature and just sit in peace at the sound of the lake or ocean waves.

3. Go hiking at a state park

Even if you don't have a state park near you, it could be a fun mini vacation to drive to a state park. It gets you active and outside. It only costs you a couple dollars but a ton of fun.

4. Go on a hometown tour

If you go away for school you might have forgotten parts of your hometown. Spring break is the perfect time to re-explore your hometown and hit the tourist attractions. It could be fun to see what you haven't seen in a long time.

5. Bake with your friends

Hopefully, some of your hometown high school friends are staying home too so you have someone to bake with! Baking is always the move.

6. Make a homemade pizza

I know so many of my friends have done this and it's a fun, cheap thing to keep you occupied. It also involves food so automatic WIN.

7. Camp out in your backyard

Weather permitting, you can go out into your backyard set up a tent and sleep under the stars. So many adventures could arise.

8, Actually do your pinned Pinterest

Admit it. You have a hundred Pinterest boards with a thousand DIY crafts. Well, now you have an entire week off, so do it now! You have probably pinned enough DIY crafts to last you the whole week.

9. Get a manicure and pedicure with your friends

It's okay to treat yourself.

10. Binge watch an entire series on Netflix

Suggestions include: One Tree Hill, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Stranger Things, Grey's Anatomy, Gilmore Girls and Shameless.

11. Snapchat your friends who are on vacation

If all your friends are in Mexico or Florida and you're stuck at home, blow up their Snapchats with pictures of your dog.

12. Color in your adult coloring book

You probably have had no time to actually use all your adult coloring books but now you have a lot of time.

13. Lay in bed and cuddle your dog all day

Honestly, this is the move.

So don't frown if you are not going anywhere for spring break, your girl has you covered.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
