1. Day trips

Find somewhere that is an hour or two away and spend the day exploring.

2. Movie nights

Popcorn. Enough said.

3. Find something new in your own town

Look for places and things to do in your town that you've forgotten about or never noticed. Ask friends for ideas!

4. Go window shopping

You don't have to spend a lot to enjoy a trip to the mall.

5. Go to a local sporting event

Find some cheap tickets for a local game or even go to a high school game!

6. Have a DIY spa day

Grab some face masks and go for it!

7. Try new recipes

Make that cookie recipe that you've had a screenshot for for months.

8. Catch up on your sleep

Make up for all the sleep you lost studying for those midterms.

9. Binge watch a show on your watch list

It's finally your chance to watch that new Netflix original.

10. Get ahead on schoolwork

Start that essay that's due in a few weeks to avoid extra stress later

11. Spend time with friends and family

Spring break is the perfect time to catch up with the people you love.

12. Challenge yourself to work out

You can feel powerful and then go back to your Netflix binge.

13. Have a Pinterest party and make some arts and crafts

It's okay to fail a few times.

14. Check out some local coffee shops

A good option if you're a coffee connoisseur like me.

15. Go on a hike

Explore the nature around where you live!

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:

16. When your professor tells that you the final is cumulative:

17. When the kid next to you keeps looking over at your test:

18. Looking back on the outfits that you wore during finals week like:

19. When it's been two hours and you've only gotten through five notecards:

20. When you finally make it to the end of the week:

Working in fast-food brings a whole new meaning to customer service.
