Although it may be summer, for us college students that doesn't mean that the work stops. We all have internships, jobs or other obligations that keep us going, going and going in the summer that makes it anything but relaxing. While it is important to get our work done, make money or get experience, it is still important that we get some quality R&R. Here are some of the best ways to relax on a well deserved day off.
1. Beach Day
The beach is the perfect place to get your relaxation on. Perfect that tan, read a book, or catch some waves. No matter what, this is sure to be a stressless day on your much needed break.
2. Spa Day
Treat yo' self on this fine day off. Go get a manicure, a pedicure, or both! Nothing is more relaxing than sitting in a massage chair while being pampered, so this is a great activity for a break.
3. Shopping
It is time to put some of your hard earned money to use! Treat yo' self even more by getting some new items to add to your closet. Nothing feels better than a little, or a lot, of retail therapy.
4. Movie Day
Sometimes the best days are the days you do nothing at all. So sit back, relax and enjoy a day of endless movie watching from the comfort of your own home, or even your bed. Add some snacks and this day has just been made.
5. Zoo Day
It is great to feel like a little kid again. The zoo is the best place to feel this way. With all the cute animals and creatures everywhere, this is an excellent way to spend your day off.
6. Downtown
Exploring your own city is a great way to spend the day. We sometimes take what is around us for granted, so use this time to your advantage and see what your great city entails. I bet there is a lot to do in your own town that you didn't even know about.
7. Workout
Use this time to get the workout in that you never have the time for. Get those endorphins pumping and you will feel nothing but happy all day long. Take this time for yourself and enjoy a good workout without having to rush anywhere after.
8. Play with Puppies
Get some puppy loving in on your day off. This is a great way to relieve stress and you get some fluffy cuddles while doing so. Puppies are the cutest and they will be sure to make your day.
9. Pool Day
If the beach is too much for you, take yourself to your local pool for a nice, relaxing swim. You get the tanning and the swimming without the sandy mess.
10. Family Day
Hang with your family. It is so relaxing and comforting to have a day with your family. These are the people who make you laugh and support you no matter what. What a fantastic day to spend with the best of the best.
No matter what you do on your day off, it is important to make sure that you take some time for yourself. So be a little selfish and make sure you get that time, even if it is just a day, because we all need a little time to ourselves here and there.
