Why Doing Nothing For Spring Break Is Awesome

Beach selfies are so overrated.

Why Doing Nothing For Spring Break Is Awesome
The Coveteur

For many college students, spring break is just around the corner with the promises of sweet freedom from academic responsibilities. For many of us broke AF college kids, jammin' it up on Long Beach or in Orlando isn't really tangible. But have no fear, I'm going to lay down some truth bombs on you on why staying in your apartment or dorm over the break is the best way to spend your break.

First of all, you're going to save so much money staying in. Think about it: you don't have to spend your hard earned cash on hotels, or tours, or gas, or even overpriced cocktails and food. Nah fam, you get to keep the money you would have spent on all that junk in your bank account to use on important things like extra guac with your Chipolte burrito.

Second, you don't have to play mom to all your drunk friends over the break. Or better yet, you can get shit faced in the comfort of your own home. No embarrassing Instagram posts of you passed out in the bathroom, no alarming credit card bill of how much you actually spent in the club. Just a great night of drunk-watching your fave show on Netflix.


Next, you get to do whatever the hell you feel like doing. Most times, groups of friends will argue over what they want to do or where they want to go, and usually this wastes so much time and effort. You get to chill out, eat pizza for breakfast, not wear pants ever, and sleep as much as you want! What could be better than that? And if you get lonely, your BFF will totes be down for hanging out with you at home. But make sure they bring some wine.

Lastly, you get to recharge. Breaks are meant for relaxation, and traveling can be anything but that. You've got to plan out your days in advanced when you go on vaycay and can feel like you have to be doing something constantly to get the most out of your trip. But after weeks of intense school work, a week of catching up on sleep or that book you've meant to read can be the best way to use your days off.

So while you're on your couch watching the seventh season of Grey's Anatomy and snackin' on some leftover Chinese take out, scrolling through your news feed seeing all your friend's stellar spring break photos, don't be bummed. You can always take that trip to Los Angeles some other time. If you really want to get out of the house, go take a walk in the park down the street! Go see that new movie with awesome reviews! Whatever it is, you keep doing you and know that you can have a great break without all the fuss.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
