There is a lot of pressure to figure out what to do on Spring Break for college kids. There are many options on what to do over the free week. Sometimes it can be difficult to make plans, especially when there are limitations. However, there are still many options that could be useful for anyone.

Going back home is always an option. While it may not be very glamorous, there would be plenty of time to catch up on homework and get organized. This also presents an opportunity to plan for the upcoming summer. Looking for a job, applying for internships, and figuring out living situations can take some time.

Going home gives you an opportunity to take the time to go to the coffee shop and work diligently.

Working isn't always a bad thing. Picking up extra hours could be beneficial. You can take off time if your schedule becomes too crowded at some point, because you already put in the time to work. Making some extra money also never hurt.

If you want to travel, you don't have to buy an airplane ticket in order to find an adventure. Exploring your home state can always be surprising. The internet is a great source so look to see if there are things to do that you never knew about. Traveling the nearest city is not a big deal. There are plenty of things to do in the city.

If traveling is an option, take the time to plan. One of the most popular destinations is Florida, which has Disney World, beaches, Universal Studios, and lots of shopping. Mexico is another popular idea, especially the vacations spots that welcome college students.

If you want to go on a destination trip, make sure everything is in order and make plans months in advance. These are very popular ideas among college students. Therefore, booking hotels and flights early are a good idea especially because they will be cheaper than if they were booked closer to the Spring Break date.

Going with someone to these places will also make the experience a lot more memorable. Ask friends if they want to join or even your family members.

Volunteering is a great way to spend time over Spring Break. There are many options that colleges offer through different organizations and clubs. Working with the school will allow your references to grow and it also gives you an insight to other projects that your school is involved with.

This idea would also help you get more involved with your school in areas that you may not have known about before. There is also volunteering opportunities abroad. There are many options online and you can look for volunteer projects that would best fit with you. These can be costly but many also do fundraisers to help with the costs.

Volunteer trips will build a resume and give you exposure to helping out in diverse communities. Again, if you're not planning on traveling far, there are always opportunities available in town like at hospitals, community churches, and humane societies.

Spring Break offers a great amount of time to get things done, get involved, or to travel. There are many options that all differ in both cost and itineraries. Take the time to pick something that will be beneficial for you at the time.

What ever you do, make sure there is the time to relax, whether it is on the beach in Florida or on your living room couch.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
