With spring break approaching I'm sure all of your friends keep mentioning their extravagant tropical getaways. For all of you staying in the mitten this spring break I'm sure you can agree that these are the 10 best things about staying home for the whole week.

1. You can work all week

Everyone knows how difficult it is to be taking 15 credits, work 20 hours a week, eat healthy, workout and still try to have a social life. During spring break you can work as much as you want, helping put a little extra change in your pockets.

2. Catch up on some zzz's

No more eYou can sleep all day and not feel bad about wasting your day because we all know you had nothing going on anyways.

3. You get to be with your dog for a week

Waking up to your best friend every morning for a week sounds good to me!

4. Save money

Although going to Cancun sounds pretty fun, you'll also have about a thousand more bucks than the average spring breaker.

5. A week with your family

Most students go on spring break with a group of friends, for those staying home you get a whole week to hang out with your family which is always the best.

6. Hanging out with your hometown friends

You always promise to see each other on the weekends but now you have a whole week to catch up.

7. You can finally clean your room at home

After coming home a few weekends your room is probably a mess. Spring break is the perfect opportunity to make sure the next time you come home your room is spotless.

8. Home cooked meals all week

After eating cereal and frozen dinners for two months it's nice to eat real food again.

9. Catch up on anything you've gotten behind on

If you need to read twenty chapters of your psychology textbook then spring break spent at home is the perfect change

10. Relaxxxx

You have nowhere to be, no plans and no classes. Let yourself relax and rejuvenate for the last half of the semester.
