It's finally the second most wonderful time of the year.. SPRING BREAK!! Let's face it, 2017 has been a tough year to tackle so far and we all need this break from school and responsibilities (unless you have a job, what even is spring break). For me personally, spring break isn't an excuse to get drunk on a crystal clear beach. Spring break is a time of reflection and rest. I need this mental health week, and I know a lot of you out there need it as well. For all of us that aren't going to Mexico or Florida for spring break, here are a few suggestions of what you can do during your lovely week off:

1. Don't look at blackboard... not even once

2. Bake some cookies. Bake all the cookies

3. Go see Get Out

4. Go on Pinterest and DIY something

5. Take a trip to the zoo

6. Go hiking while the weather is nice

7. Read a book (or two)

8. Go on a picnic with your friends (or significant other)

9. Throw an epic party (I mean come on, it is spring break after all)

10. Take a walk

11. Try a new recipe

12. Visit a local museum
