Spring Break is upon us and brings with it all sorts of crazy expectations. If you're in college, people automatically assume that you're going to head straight for the beach and party until you're passed out in the sand. Let me tell you... that is not the case for everyone. Some of us go home to be with our families we haven't seen all semester. Some of us have busy work schedules that don't allow us an actual break. And some of us... well some of us are just plain lazy. So, what do we lazy people do while everyone else is out partying up their short week of freedom before the chains of school bog us down again?
Thanks to Netflix and Hulu, binge watching has become a lifestyle, not just a habit. All those shows you've been too busy to catch up on all semester? Now is the perfect time to just veg out, ignore your phone, and watch endless hours of whatever your guilty pleasure TV shows are, whether it be The Bachelorette, The Walking Dead, or Game of Thrones. Bonus points if you eat a whole tub of ice cream while doing so.
If you prefer your escapes in written form, it's time to break out all those books you've been meaning to read but couldn't because mandatory school reading kind of took over. Much like binge watching, it's great to just turn off all forms of communication and lose yourself in a fictional world. There's just something about focusing on someone else's drama instead of your own that is so relaxing.
And the ultimate of all lazy person goals for Spring Break - SLEEP. Sleep 'til noon. Take a nap.. or two... or three. Go to bed at nine o'clock like the grandma/grandpa you really are. Take advantage of the fact that you don't have an 8:45 class in the morning or a social event late at night (7:00 p.m. is late, right?). But resign yourself to the fact that no matter how much sleep you get right now, it'll never make up for the amount you lose the rest of the semester.
So, there you have it - the ultimate lazy guide to Spring Break. Lazy humans of the world unite... and go do nothing. Alone.
