50 Things To Do This Easter Weekend

When the chocolate bunnies come out, you know Easter is upon us! Not that this holiday is all about the sweets- although they make a great addition- it is a celebration of both the day that Jesus Christ died as well as the day he was resurrected. Easter week began this past weekend with Palm Sunday and culminates in the following commemorations of Good Friday, Easter Saturday, Easter Sunday, and in some countries Easter Monday. In order to prepare for such events, I highly suggest not going into this festival by eating yourself into a chocolate coma. Sure, stock up on your few Cadbury Mini Eggs or Reese's over the three-day weekend, but be sure to stay indigestion-free long enough to enjoy at least one of these egg-citing ideas throughout the spread of the time:

1. Go on an Easter egg hunt.

2. Decorate and paint eggs.

3. Revisit old board games.

4. Make a charity donation. Go through your cupboard and root out all those tight-fitting, out-of-vogue items of clothing you haven't worn in six months.


5. Take a drive to your nearest mall and capture a photo with the Easter bunny. You know your mother will appreciate it.

6. Attend an Easter parade.

7. Visit a zoo and see the animals.

8. Participate in a 5K- get a workout in as well as make a contribution to those in need.


9. Hold an egg race or egg toss. Get competitive.


10. Go bowling.

11. Bake some Easter cookies or even a chocolate bunny cake.

12. Have a picnic outside.

13. Spend a few hours away for a family bike ride around town.

14. Go out for some late night ice cream.

15. Play at your local park.

16. Grill outside.

17. Wash your car.

18. Go strawberry picking.

19. Attend a fair.

20. Go on a scavenger hunt.

21. Celebrate the Bermudian way by flying home-made kites, eating codfish cakes, and devouring those delicious hot cross buns.

22. Head for the beach.

23. Learn about chocolate…and perhaps eat it, too.

24. Visit a museum.

25. Go horseback riding.

26. Spring cleaning!



27. Have it “Norway” by reading mystery books or watching televised crime detective series on national television.

28. Escape up to the mountains and adventure on some hiking trails.

29. Play mini-golf.

30. Watch classic Easter movies.


31. Put on an Easter play.



32. Get a group together and go out for brunch.




33. Stop over to a farmer’s market and purchase fresh foods.




34. Go fishing out on the lake.


35. Gather with your community in a church and rejoice the resurrection of Christ.

36. Journey outside and do some camping.

37. Plant flowers out in the yard.

38. Test out a foreign tradition by including Haitian music such as bamboo trumpets, maracas, drums, and even coffee cans.

39. Window shop or pick up some bargained designer clothes from neighboring markets or villages.

40. Catch a train into the city and act like the tourist you are.

41. Go swimming or kayaking on the Delaware River.

42. Put together Easter baskets for your siblings or younger cousins.

43. Stalk Pinterest and find the most eggcellent Easter crafts to create.


44. Trade paintings or drawings in exchange for sweets following the Sweden customs.

45. Pamper yourself, whether it means getting your nails done, actually taking the time to shave, or even adding in that 20 minute nap.

46. Play party games. Musical chairs or karaoke can do the trick.

47. Get cooking. Most people, especially children, love capturing quality time in the kitchen. Learn new recipes or pull out your grandmother’s cook book.

48. Watch a live show either in the city or your town’s latest production.

49. Release that built-up stress by coloring.

50. Have your anticipated first meal of Easter blessed before or after the Easter Vigil, on Holy Saturday or on Easter morning for consumption.

On Easter Sunday the 40 days of Lent have now concluded meaning meat, eggs, social media, chocolate, junk food or whatever sacrifice you have “given up” is now permitted back into your diet. Amen.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
