The start of Spring brings with it a flush of flowers, perfect weather, and the overall sense of calmness knowing that in just one more month, school will be left long behind. However, the end of the school year means finals are just around the corner, causing me to desperately need a weekend full of relaxation, good company, and fun. Below are five things I would do if I had an entire day to myself where I could do anything and everything my heart desired.
1. I would begin my day with an amazing and Instagram-worthy acai bowl from The Good Berry.
Acai bowls are one of my favorite things to eat when I'm craving something sweet but also healthy-plus, they're just absolutely beautiful to look at and photograph! One of my favorite places to get an acai bowl is at The Good Berry located on Madison Street. The Good Berry allows you to choose from an assortment of toppings so as to personalize your acai bowl, while also offering a wide variety of smoothies, toast, salads, and sandwiches. The fact that The Good Berry is extremely close to campus and decorated so cutely would make it an amazing way to start my day!
2. After breakfast I would go to the Maclay Gardens State Park for a walk and photo-op!
Walking and taking photos are amongst some of my favorite things to do, so the Maclay Gardens State Park is the perfect place to venture to. The gardens include a reflection pool, two short walking paths, a walled garden, a secret garden, and countless flowers and trees, making it a picturesque background for a relaxing stroll.
3. I would make time for a quick mid-afternoon nap in my eno.
My body is the type of body that DEMANDS naps. If my day's too busy to squeeze one in, I become overly cranky to anyone and anything that comes into contact with me-horrible I know. Sadly, I know that as soon as finals come around I'll have no time for naps, so my perfect day will definitely have to have one.
Go to the movies and buy ALL of the candies.
One thing I've missed since coming to school was going to the local movie theater and seeing all of the newest movies-the good and the bad. Watching movies has always been a major part of my upbringing, and for some unknown reason, I don't mind paying the absurd amount of money to see them in theaters. Going to the movies and eating junk food would be an amazing way to relax my mind and forget all things school.
Attempt to finish an entire milkshake from the Sugar Rush Bar.
I am a sugar connoisseur, especially when it comes to over-the-top milkshakes. The Sugar Rush Bar has some of the most amazing and extravagant milkshakes I've ever seen, making them the perfect treat to end the perfect day. If you're not a fan of milkshakes, the Sugar Rush Bar has homemade ice cream, sundaes, and floats, and so much more!
