Now that spring break is here it's a chance for everyone living in CNY to finally escape to somewhere warm. While my spring break will be spent freezing in the north, I will look on with shivering jealously at all of my friends who have managed to bust out of the doomed spring we seem to be having. Because let's face it, I'd rather be broke and warm, than broke and cold. So here's some things to do over spring break when you can't get to a place warmer than 40 degrees:
#1. Complain about not being on a beach somewhere:
Recommended for you
Friends post pics on a beach? You bet I'll be hitting you up with a bitter and petty "thanks for the invite" text approximately .3 seconds after you've posted.
#2. Me time:
Aka, watching an entire season of Shameless in one day because I've finally hopped on the bandwagon. Yes I am in fact hooked, and yes I love Lip. MOVING ON.
#3. Trying new hobbies:
This one can get dangerous depending on how ambitious you are. So just try to relax and remember, if you weren't a gymnast for the last 20 years maybe now isn't a great time to start trying...
#4. Finally learning to play the guitar you go for Christmas two years ago:
Aaaaaaaand, one new chord. Sounds good, take a break. You are killing it look at you go. Good job today, maybe you'll learn another chord this summer.
#5. Buy a new book:
Okay, well great job. Now it's been 24 hours and since you have no sense of self control, you've already read the whole thing and have no more book budget money to spend so congrats. Back to Shameless.
#6. Nap:
Overall this is just a great time filler. Just think about all the sleep you won't be getting next week when you're back at school! Great motivation to sleep now.
#7. Try hiking a new trial:
Okay, this one can get legitimately dangerous if you're not careful. Make sure you read up first and learn about the trails before going. Some staple spots not too far away are the Eternal Flame or the Adirondacks.
#8. Spring clean your wardrobe:
After another full year of accumulating clothes, there's got to be at least a few you can bear to part with. So pony up and go through your closet, I promise it'll make moving at the end of the semester way easier.
#9. Actually participate enthusiastically in a family game night:
Yes, they can bug us all at some point, but your family misses you. Who knows, you might get to hear some great stories about your cousins to use as ammo later on!
#10. Get a head start on homework:
Lol, who am I kidding. Take a nap, it's spring break.
