Spring Break is something that students look forward to but they don’t always know what to do. Here is a list of the best things to do with your time off from gaining knowledge.

1. Go to the beach

With a whole week at the tip of your fingers, many people would suggest going to the beach. Being at Lander University, you could easily get to Hilton Head and Myrtle Beach for a week long adventure. Considering it is the spring time and we are in the South, the weather should have itself figured out by then.

2. Rest at home

When you have been off at school for months, it is great to go home and enjoy your own abode. Though this is true for most of South Carolina, the closer you get to the CSRA, the more you don’t want to stay home. When the Master’s Tournament is upon us, locals leave the area in quite a hurry. The CSRA is one of the only areas where their Spring Break falls in April so that locals can either attend the Master’s Tournament or leave so that people from all over can enjoy the event. For those who are unaware, the CSRA is the Central Savannah River Area.

3. Hang out with friends

It’s about time that you hang out with those people that you never see. Being in college means spending most of your time alone studying, especially nursing majors, and it’s frowned upon to spend Spring Break by yourself. Go out and regain your social life! Friends are what keep us sane and the break wouldn’t be the same without the people who stand beside you 24/7.

4. Enjoy your pets

When you’re off at college, you tend to miss out on amazing cuddles from your furry friends. Whether it be a cat that pretends to not like you or a dog that obviously likes you, they need love. Pets love to see you and they love laying on you and getting rubs.

5. Make bank

The most productive way to use your Spring Break is to have a job. In the CSRA, students work at the Master’s Tournament for the whole week and make a lot of money. There is also the opportunity for lawn care work in which you mow lawns or cut weeds around your hometown.

So long as you are doing something this Spring Break, then it isn’t wasted. Remember that safety is the most important thing during a wild time such as this.
