1. Sleeping all the sleeps.

If your spring break is spent with your parents, you need to catch up on sleep. There’s so much need to sleep it’s ridiculous. You have all the time in the world on your hands. Sleep. It’s the best use of your time.

2. Eating all the foods.

The time is now. Now, while your parents pay for it, or now while your taxes are back, or now, while in your epitome of relaxation and binging on Netflix. The food is yours. Go for it. You deserve it. Love it. All the unhealthy foods, all the pizza rolls and Nutella and pancakes you desire. Spring break is a land of milk and honey.

3. Pettings the dogs.

Or hamsters. Or birds. Or cats. Or your younger sibling. Be appreciative of the fact that you can enjoy the company of those who are not zombified college students like yourself. Play with them and revel in the fact that their lives are much less stressful than yours.

4. Finding a job.

Right, or we could actually do something along the lines of being an adult and making money. During spring break is the best time to look for a job for the summer. So you can spend your time being somewhat of an adult.

5. Midterms are evil.

Okay but let’s be real. There is no escape from school. Ever. So your professors are mean and they assign you big papers, all these study guides, all these tears. So when you’re not eating, sleeping, cuddling or finding a job you can always do your homework.
