4 Fun Things To Do Over Spring Break At Home

As much as we would all love to go on a trip to a new and exotic place over this upcoming break, sometimes for whatever reason, that isn’t possible. Even if this is the case, it doesn’t mean that you can’t have a fun and memorable spring break exploring the place that you call home. So for all of you who are stuck at home, here are some ideas for things you can do locally to make your spring break more exciting.

1. Visit a Museum

Museums are everywhere and if there is not a good one where you live you don’t have to drive far to find one. Too many people discount museums as boring but they can be a great way to learn more about a certain topic in a more interactive and visual way. If you aren’t a huge fan of history then try checking out an art museum or an interactive science museum. Museums also almost always have discounted tickets for students which make them more affordable and accessible than a lot of other activities.

2. Go Outdoors

Especially as spring approaches and the weather warms up, it is the perfect time for any kind of outdoor activity. Some possible ideas for things to do outside include going on a hike, walking your pet, going to the beach, going for a swim, any kind of water activity (such as jet skiing), or any kind of sport. Going outside even if it is for a little bit can brighten your mood and is great for your health (both physical and mental).

3. Learn something new

You might be thinking “I have been in school for the past 2 months why would I want to learn on my spring break?”, but learning includes way more than simply memorizing facts or solving problems. Learning a new skill by taking a cooking class or practicing how to juggle can be a fun way of stepping out of your comfort zone and bettering yourself while still doing something really fun. Who knows? You might even find a new hobby that you love by trying and learning about new things.

4. Make Something on Your Own

There is something that is super satisfying about knowing that you made something by yourself. It is a great way to kill time and feel productive. You might want to try things like knitting a sweater, painting a picture, cooking a meal, or baking a cake. All of these things not only keep you occupied and prevent you from spending your entire break in your room watching netflix but they also ensure that when you are done with whatever it is that you are doing you have something great to show for all the time that you spent.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
