As much as I would love to go someplace warmer than Ohio for spring break, my bank account would not love it. There are so many other things you can do without getting on a plane and flying to somewhere amazing.
1. Sleep (in your own bed, instead of the small dorm room beds).
2. Workout. Then when you get back to school, you will be in the habit of working out and you'll keep up with it (hopefully).
3. Start a diet that you've been talking about starting forever now but "never had time to start."
4. Go visit friends at other colleges. It's the perfect opportunity to visit your BFF's who have different spring breaks than you!
5. Treat yourself: get your nails done, hair done or full out spa day. You deserve it because you've worked your butt off at school so far this semester.
6. Make the food that you always see on Facebook videos but never actually made.
7. Get your boating license (because why not?). Apparently it only takes a couple of hours online so then you can tell people you have a boating license. Cool, right?
8. Secure a summer job. If you are like me, you are as broke as anything, so knowing you'll have some sort of income for the summer is great.
9. Try a new restaurant or coffee shop.
10. Relax and enjoy your mental break from school.
11. Read a book that isn't for a class.
12. Watch an entire series on Netflix (yes, it's possible).
13. Organize your life. Then when you get back to school you'll feel completely on top of things and ready to take on the rest of the semester!
14. Go shopping so you can be stylin' when you get back to school.
15. Hang out with your family.
16. Hang out with your dog because you wish you could take them to school with you.
17. Go on adventures with your friends (weather-permitting). Hikes, exploring cool towns, anything.
18. Be crafty and paint some cute canvases.
19. Lay around and do nothing because it's break.
20. Have a movie marathon. So many possibilities but personally I'd go with Harry Potter.
21. Road trip. Take some day trips to cool places not too far from home. Plus, it'll be the perfect opportunity to take some awesome pictures for Instagram over break.
Whether your break is super productive or really chill, it's better than being in the library for hours on end doing schoolwork. Enjoy yourself and the free time, wherever it is, and however it's spent.
