Although it is called 'spring break', the midwest has no clue what spring is until at least the last week of May. So if you are staying home in the cold for spring break, here are some ways to make it feel like you did not miss out on the fun and the sun.
1. Have a spa day
If you are missing out on the relaxation of a spring break getaway, then maybe it is time to schedule a session at your local spa. Whether you get a manicure, pedicure, facial, or regular massage, any kind of treatment will definitely help to reduce stress. Having a spa day will not transport you to an island but it will make you feel as relaxed as possible.
2. Go to a casino
A lot of tropical destinations and resorts have a casino for the guests to gamble. If you live near a casino and are of legal age, I recommend picking a night to visit the casino. Playing blackjack, slots, and roulette may help you to feel as carefree as if you were on a vacation. Going to a casino gives you something to do and is also a fun way to get out of the house for a night.
3. Eat at different restaurants
Going on vacation means eating at different places than usual, but no one said you can not explore your taste palate while at home. Try going to different places for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Skipping out on the regular Taco Bell and Starbucks runs and trying new types of food and local restaurants will help diversify your palate and will help you potentially find new places you love to eat at.
4. Go to an indoor waterpark
Usually leaving for spring break means going somewhere with a beach. Instead of going to a beach, try going to an indoor pool or even better, an indoor waterpark. This way, you are able to swim in a fun environment while still being close to home. Going to an indoor pool or waterpark will spice things up over break and is definitely a good way to relax and have fun.
5. Go shopping
Many people go on vacation and either buy a whole new wardrobe before they go or have a million souvenirs when they get back from their destination. Although you do not have to do this, maybe try setting aside some time to go to a farmers market, shopping mall, or even do some online shopping and buy something you really like or enjoy to make you feel better. Shopping can be very therapeutic for some people and can definitely make you feel better about not going anywhere for the break.
6. Bar crawl or wine night
A lot of people will go to a tropical resort or on vacation just to chill on a beach while drinking margaritas and mimosas. if you are the type of person who wants to relax by drinking with some buds and making great memories, try gathering a few friends and inviting them to a wine night or doing a bar crawl. A bar crawl consists of finding different bars in a specific area that is pretty interesting and bar-hopping from place to place. If you would rather have a low-key kind of a night, try inviting pals over to drink wine (or something else), watch movies, eat food, and hang out. Doing this will for sure make you feel just as good as the people who went away for the break.
7. Plan outings similar to cruise activities
Cruises offer many different kinds of events for people to pass the time while they are on the ship. A lot of the activities they have on-board cam easily be found on land too. For example, try going bowling, putt-putting, karaoke, clubbing, rock-climbing, paint-balling, concerts/shows, go-karting, laser-tag, or even go to a library/coffee shop to relax. All of these activities are easy to find in cities and will keep someone occupied for a long time and are guaranteed to make anyone smile.
8. Go to a gym
Even though most people tend to not work out while on vacation, exercising releases endorphins which will make you happier. Additionally, exercising makes people more relaxed. On top of that, a lot of nice gyms will offer equipment which resorts or cruises will also offer. For example, if you do not want to necessarily exercise some gyms offer therapeutic benefits such as saunas, hot tubs, and steam rooms, which are sure to make anyone relax.
