Going to popular spring break destinations can be fun, but there are important facets of staying at home that can be just as, if not fun, amazing. Especially when home includes all the stuff you've been missing at college. However, there are several stages that you are bound to go through during spring break:
1. Happiness
Being incredibly excited that you will be home and able to sleep in your bed. There is no place like home. Literally, no place.
2. FOMO
All the first day beach photos. Like, seriously guys, we get it, the beach is fun.
3. Sleep
Sleep all day and feel much better. There is no problem sleep cannot fix. Those other spring breakers may be at the beach, but they aren't getting all the sleep they want in their own, comfy beds.
4. Productivity
Swear to yourself you’re going to get stuff done. You are going to be so productive and so ahead of your peers. They are going to be left in the dust crying because they didn't get as much done on spring break as you.
5. Procrastination
Not getting anything done. It can all be done when you get back to school, right? Productivity is for the weak.
6. All the Animals
Hang out with your dog. Or cat or hamster or whatever. Pets are the best.
7. Binge
Eat all the food you’ve been missing at college. Your mom’s mac and cheese, your dad’s pancakes, all the foods you can’t afford (so basically, anything that isn’t ramen.)
8. Sleep (Reprise)
Sleep some more. Sleep is very important and holds top priority over all the stuff you could be doing to be productive. This is the reason you never get anything done and you should be proud of it.
9. Netflix
Finish that one Netflix series. You’ve been watching it forever. Now is the chance to binge! Remember forever the amazing feeling that comes with seeing that long-awaited finale to your Netflix series.
10. Sleep (Abridged Version)
Take a nap. Again, I cannot stress enough the awesomeness of sleep. Naps are like little gifts in the middle of the day and taking one in your own bed at home is the best feeling in the world.
11. Friend Reunions
All of those friends that don't go to your college? Yeah, this is the perfect time to hang with them again. Chances are some of them are also at home and looking for old friends to hang out with as well. So hang out with all the friends from high school.
