I think it's safe to say that I have never been more ready for spring break in all my years of school. These past couple of months since the start of the semester have been incredibly hectic, and I've often felt like I didn't have a single moment to breathe. However, spring break has finally arrived. Whether you're going back home or somewhere completely different, here are a few things to enjoy during your week off.
1. Your pet
I can't wait to curl in with my pup and enjoy the free time I'll finally have.
2. Not spending hours working every night
The best feeling is when you can actually take time to yourself to relax and not have to think of what you should be doing instead.
3. Driving!
Not having a car in college may be a little less to worry about, but there's no denying the calming feeling that comes with driving around your hometown.
4. Time away from screens
I spend the majority of my day using my computer or my phone, and I absolutely hate it. It's freeing to be able to leave my phone out of sight and out of mind for almost the entire day.
5. Catching up with friends
Even if we're lucky enough to have our spring breaks fall on the same week, it's not likely we'll be home the whole time. All it takes is a lunch, though, to remember why you love these people.
6. Time for family
After not having seen them for months, it's comforting to be around family again.
7. Being out of your dorm
A change of scenery never hurts.
8. Getting out of town
As much as we love our college towns, it's always nice to have a little break and see something different.
9. Catching up on shows
With all the work to do, it's pretty much impossible to keep up with new episodes every week, much less the new seasons of Netflix shows.
10. Not waking up to alarms every morning
Sleep to your heart's content.
11. Getting to stay in bed as long as you want
You don't have to rush to get to your 9:00 class, so take your time and savor the calm.
I absolutely cannot wait.
