With spring break right around the corner, it's time to start building a list of how you want to spend it. Where do you start? Where should you go? Can you afford it? You may be overwhelmed with trying to spend to spring break in the best way possible -- don't worry. This list will help you eliminate activities in order to make your list easier to create. These are 10 ways on how to not spend your spring break.
1. The DMV
If you're planning on getting your license over spring break, do it now. You don't want to spend your week off by standing in line and waiting for your number.
2. Going to Vegas (or any big city)
No, what happens in Vegas does not stay in Vegas -- because we will see everything on Twitter and Snapchat.
3. Skiing
OK, if you're planning on a skiing trip, I'd recommend seeing a doctor shortly after, because that's crazy! This is the week of soaking in the sun and escaping the cold weather -- not embracing it!
4. Homework
Don't procrastinate, get your homework done earl-- oh, who am I kidding, we're all going to wait until the end to finish our homework.
5. Staying indoors
It's spring break! Go outside and enjoy the weather. Or stay inside under the covers and watch Netflix all day. You do you.
6. Working out
No. Bad. This is a week of R&R. Give your brain and muscles a break and unwind. You've earned it. Go ahead and order a triple-cheese pizza -- nobody is judging you.
7. Driving in traffic
Unless moving a few inches over the course of an hour is fun, I would not recommend sitting in traffic over spring break. If you're traveling, try to get a head start before the traffic begins. Otherwise, Stockholm Syndrome will become your new best friend.
8. Tweeting about it
Do us all a favor and don't. We don't need to see that you're using all of the trending hashtags. #NoThankYou.
9. Going to the beach
Yes, you heard me right. Don't go to the beach during spring break. It'll be overcrowded, you'll lose your friends easily, and you won't be able to tell what just touched your leg while swimming in the ocean. Was that a child or something else?
10. Planning on what to do during spring break
This shouldn't require much explanation. Don't invest a lot of time planning. Otherwise, it'll be over as soon as you're ready to start. Enjoy it!
The best thing about spring break is that there are numerous ways to spend it. Use the time to unwind, relax, and breathe. The last thing you need to be worrying about is what's coming up right after the break. Don't worry about those finals, projects, or presentations due right afterwards -- embrace the sun!
