Spring is coming upon us, which also means that spring break is somewhere around the corner. Maybe you're not hitting up the sunny beach this year, maybe you're staying at home. That doesn't mean you can't have the best spring break yet.

So without further ado, here are some ways you can spice up your staycation!

1. Spring Cleaning

It's in the name. Having a clean work-space does wonders for your productivity. In addition, with a little creativity, remodeling or revamping your room doesn't have to take too much time or money.

Pro Tip:Fairy lights are a must. They'll add a warm glow to just about any corner of the house.

2. Explore the great outdoors.

Just because it's a staycation, doesn't mean you have to stay inside. Go on a hike, and take your friends with you! Embrace spontaneity and adventure. Check out this picturesque four mile hike at the Indian Seats


3. Movie Marathon

Now that you have plenty of free time, why not treat yourself to a movie marathon? Last year, I decided to do just this with my friends during break, and I had my first "Star Wars" experience. Needless to say, I've been hopelessly hooked on "Star Wars" since.

4. Go shopping!


Spring cleaning means going through your closet and preparing for the new season. Preparing for the new season means buying new clothes. So, logically, spring cleaning only means one thing... spring shopping! Worried abut spending? Check out a thrift store. There will be no shortage of fashionable, unique and affordable picks there.

5. Have a photoshoot.

Why wait for a special occasion to strike a pose? Grab your friends, make a cute backdrop and smile big. There's no better way to commemorate a meaningful staycation.

6. Amp up your fitness game.

Try out that new juice cleanse everyone's been raving about. Sign up for some Flywheel classes (that you might regret the next morning when your legs die of soreness). The options are endless.

7. Attend a concert.

There's nothing like hearing your favorite artist live for the first time. But, if you're anything like me, you probably have several favorite artists, and you just can't see them all. Be extra adventurous, and attend a free concert of an artist you've never heard of before!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
