40 Relaxing Things To Do This Spring Break

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!!

2. Read a book

3. Go shopping

4. Bake something. Cookies, brownies, etc.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
