Finally! After weeks of sleepless nights and stressing about grades, Spring Break has arrived. If you're lucky, you get to go somewhere sunny and fun like Florida or California. Unfortunately, some of us poor college students just don't have the means to do so. So while everyone else is posting pictures of all the cool things they're doing, here are 12 things you can do if you're staying at home!
1. Cry
The number one thing to do if you're not going anywhere for spring break is to obviously cry. Everyone will be talking and posting about all the fun things they're doing while you're sitting at home deciding which flavor of chips to eat next.
2. Binge watch shows on Netflix
Netflix is always a wonderful option when you're stuck at home with nothing to do. Start, finish, and even rewatch all your favorite shows and movies. Always hit "continue watching" when it asks if you're still there.
3. Visit your old high school
Some people might not have the fondest memories of high school, but for those that did, going back and visiting your favorite teachers and friends that are still in high school can be a fun thing to do.
4. Work
If you're going to be home, you might as well earn some extra cash while you're at it.
5. Do some homework
Okay, obviously no one wants to do homework over spring break, but it can be a chance to get ahead. Or you could just procrastinate as usual.
6. Apply for scholarships
We all know that we could use some more money towards tuition, so applying for scholarships could be a good use of time over your uneventful spring break.
7. Relax
Take a day (or seven) to sit back and relax. Put on a face mask, light some incense, and just listening to some calm music all day. You'll be sure to be rid of any stress that accumulated over the past weeks.
8. Read
Pick up a book for god sake! It's just like watching TV but in your head!
9. Catch up with friends that didn't go anywhere either
If it's warm enough where you live, have a bonfire, or just hang out and catch up. A lot has happened in the several months that you have been apart and it's always fun to be with the OG crew.
10. Explore a city or town near you
Check out a new coffee shop, do some sightseeing, or just walk around window shopping. Get out there and make some new experiences even if it's not the beaches of Florida or the streets of Italy.
11. Sleep
After weeks of staying up all night writing papers and studying for exams, spring break is the perfect time to catch up on some much needed shut-eye.
12. Enjoy the comforts of home
Enjoy every second of having home cooked meals, your laundry done for you, and not having to clean up after yourself. The best part of spring break is having some time to yourself and abandoning all obligations; enjoy it!
