While you’re always happy to get a vacation from school, spring break can be a bummer when you have no plans to fill up your days. Luckily, spending your break at home doesn’t mean that you can’t have as much fun as the girl on Instagram partying it up in Cancun. Without further ado, here are 8 things to do to have a fun spring break without breaking your bank or leaving your hometown.

1. Clean up your life.

They call it “spring cleaning” for a reason. Give away old clothes, toss out papers from middle school that you still have stacked in your closet—whatever is cluttering up your life, get rid of it.

2. Watch a Netflix series.

From “Stranger Things” to “Orange Is The New Black,” there are tons of shows in every genre to keep you entertained while you’re at home.

3. Feed your appetite.

Spring break is the perfect time for food. Whether you’re trying out a new restaurant or experimenting in the kitchen, embrace the joy of eating.

4. Become a tourist.

Chances are there are places even in your hometown that you’ve never been to before. Take the time to explore your city—who knows what you might find?

5. Read a book.

Seriously, when was the last time you read a book that wasn’t for school?

6. Sleep.

Kind of a no-brainer, but now is the perfect time to catch up on all of the sleep you missed while you were too busy studying for midterms.

7. Try something new.

Everybody always has that one thing that they’ve always wanted to do, but never had the time or motivation to do it. Well, here’s your motivation—get to it!

8. Catch up with your family and friends.

With all the craziness that happens when you’re halfway through the semester, you’ve probably been too busy to talk to your parents or friends for more than a couple of minutes. Spring break is the perfect opportunity to sit down and chat about life. What more could you ask for?

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!
