It's the end of February. Everyone's gearing up to go to warm and tropical places. You are sitting in your dorm room scrolling through Instagram, looking at everyone's vacation-countdown pictures and feeling sorry for yourself.
But what you don't realize is that you have nothing to feel sorry about! If you spend your spring break right, you'll have just as good of a time at home as your classmates in Cancun and Aruba. Life is what you make it!
You can...
1. Get a head start on spring cleaning
Perhaps not the most appealing of options, but still a decent start!
2. Read a book that's actually good
You've been reading books all semester, but now you can read something you actually like. So swap out that Introduction to Blah Blah Blah textbook for... well, anything else!
3. Fully indulge yourself in the art of binge-watching
Kick back, relax, and catch up with your old pal, Netflix.
4. Catch up on your sleep
Chances are, you're pretty far behind on all your sleep, and this spring break is the perfect opportunity to catch up. You don't have to get up early for any 8 a.m.'s; you don't have to stay up late writing papers and finishing projects. This is your time to take it easy! You deserve it.
5. Spend time working out
Your schedule's been super packed lately, so now you can focus on your goals!
6. OR... don't spend any time working out
You can opt out of going to the gym! Since you're not going anywhere, you don't have to worry about a bikini body. That's one less thing to stress about!
7. Go back to work
Your job may pay minimum wage for long hours of tedious work, but hey, it's still income. Work a few days and make some spending money to take back to school!
8. See your friends from home who are also not going anywhere for spring break
Not everyone's going away for spring break! It just seems like that because the people going away are the only ones posting on social media.
9. Take up a fun hobby
You can take this time off to find a new interest; immerse yourself in something you've never tried before! Try cooking, writing, knitting, scrapbooking, dancing, hiking, or button collecting! The world is your oyster.
10. Start planning an awesome trip for next year
As aforementioned: the world is your oyster, and the possibilities are endless. But there's no rush right now; things will fall into place.
But honestly... Spring break: who needs it?
Shoutout to all the homies staying in this year.
