40 Relaxing Things To Do This Spring Break
thesiouxempire

So mid-terms are done. You're home, but you still feel stressed and on edge about just about every aspect of your life. It's normal to feel like that. It's hard to truly be able tot relax on spring break after weeks and weeks of stress and knowing you are heading back to stress in just a week. Spring break, however, is a great time to truly unwind and give yourself the break you need.

If you're like me and didn't go on a fun vacation for the week and are just heading home, it's also pretty easy to get a case of FOMO and feel as though you have nothing to do at home. Relaxation is the major key and going home is a great way to relax! But obviously you can't just sleep the entire week and if your family is at work all day, the long days at home can start to get a little boring. I hope that this list helps to realize all the thing that you can do over break to relax and unwind, without getting a case of boredom! Enjoy!!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
