Spring break has become a notorious time for college students to swarm to warm places like Florida for epic beach parties and chaotic fun. But not every spring breaker is sunbathing and drinking cocktails with colorful umbrellas in them. For a lot of people, this is what spring break is really like:
Pajamas. All. Day. Long.
No need for a bikini or a spray-tan when the only living creatures to lay eyes upon you in your natural habitat will be your family and your pet.
Embracing your bed-head
Rather than taking five hours to create the perfect effortless-looking beach waves, you throw your hair up into a bun (brushing it is optional and not recommended).
Skipping "cake by the ocean" for the real deal
Who needs cake by the ocean? You can enjoy an actual piece of fluffy cake snuggled on your sofa under layers of cozy blankets.
Sleep, sleep, and did I mention sleep?
You won’t be rolling up to the beach in a Jeep with the windows down, you’ll be rolling out of bed at noon, probably with drool on your chin.
Mom's cooking
A nice, balanced diet of alcohol with a side of more alcohol can be swapped out for Mom’s homemade cooking. Nothing is tastier than that!
Hardcore binge watching
The only thing getting “lit” will be your TV as you binge watch Netflix from the time the sun sets to when it rises the next morning.
Living room dance parties
Grinding to loud music in a crowd of intoxicated spring breakers? How about busting out your best corny dance moves like “the sprinkler” or “the shopping cart” with friends in your living room.
Bubble baths
You avoid the possibility of getting attacked by a shark while swimming and settle for a nice bubble bath instead.
Sleepovers with pizza and friends
The closest to a rager you’ll get is having friends over to eat pizza and watch rom-coms.
Spring break forever sounds good to me, just not the kind that most people envision. So here's to lounging around your house and taking some much needed relaxation time before school starts up again.
