Spring Break is soon upon us! The one week where the craziness of college takes a chill pill, and you can just relax. A lot of people like to take a trip with their friends, often times somewhere tropical and warm. However, some of us, me included, are living the broke college student life to its fullest and can't afford to take a grand trip. This doesn't mean that your spring break is a wash though! There are so many fun things you can do during your week of freedom, even if you aren't getting your tan on in Cancun.

1. Catch up with Friends

Not everyone everyone can afford to take a trip but that doesn't mean you can't spend time with your pals! Grab coffee or go out to dinner and catch up with your best friends from home!

2. Take a Day Trip!

Grab a couple of your friends and take a trip to the city or the beach and spend the day exploring with your pals!

3. Have a Sleepover

Remember the good ole fashion sleepovers from your childhood? Invite your bestie over and relive your happiest childhood memories!

4. Have a mother/father daughter/son day

Your parents miss you as much as you miss them while you're away at school. Spend the day with them doing something you both love, so you can get some quality time together while you're home.

5. Have a Movie Marathon

Grab your gals and spend the day in eating snacks and watching your favorite rom coms or movie series, *cough* Harry Potter.

6. Go for a Hike

Feeling adventurous? Grab your dog or your best friend and find a cool trail to take a hike on. You could even wake up early and enjoy the sunrise at the top!

7. Catch up on Work

I know work is the last think you want to be doing on your break, but sometimes it's the best thing to do, so you can go back to school stress free!

No matter what your spring break plans are, enjoy the week off from the stress of college, and hopefully these ideas help make your week even better! Happy break everyone!
