Here you are sitting on your couch at three in the afternoon, probably still in your pajamas, heck they might even be the leggings and t-shirt you wore the day before, and you are scrolling through your Instagram feed and all you see if beach picture after beach picture. It seems like everyone but you went somewhere for spring break this year. They all escaped the cold and here you are prepping for an impending snow storm (winter break part two?) But, when are you ever going to have a week off again? Probably not for a very very long time, so take advantage of it. Here are somethings to do when you are not spending spring break the way you intended:
1. Buy yourself a nice bottle of wine.
Since it is going to snow and you are going to be stuck inside, you might as well have a nice bottle of wine to snuggle up with. Red or white, doesn't matter, pick your poison.
2. Clean your room.
You probably left it a mess when you left for spring semester because you were so excited to go back to school. So what better time than now to clean up your room.
3. Donate your clothes.
Whatever clothes you left at home, clearly are not that impressive, otherwise you might have brought them with you, so get rid of them, donate them.
4. Pretend you are somewhere else.
Turn on some tropical music, make a fruity drink, maybe turn the heat up a little bit in your room, and just for a little while, pretend that you are on a beach vacation. Just think, you won't come back all sandy, which, who wants that anyway?
5. Binge watch something.
Let's be real, this is what we all will probably end up doing anyway. But why not start something new? It doesn't have to be a "new" show, just maybe something that you haven't watched before instead of watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S. for the billionth time.
6. Readjust your internal clock
Since you have the time and there are less things for you to work on, try and go to bed earlier and get up at a decent time. During the semester we abuse our internal clocks by pulling all nighters so frequently and we never get the chance to set them back until we are on a break like this.
These may be simple little things and they may not be as great as going to the beach but, since you are stuck in the cold, snowy Northeast, you might as well give them a try.
