14 Things To Do At Home Over Spring Break
Tumblr

Are all the spring break vacay Instagram posts getting you down? Don’t worry, I know how you feel. Here are some things to try to spice up your break at home, instead of just sleeping all day (which is definitely still a valid option).

1. Try out some new recipes

Take advantage of the fact that you don’t have to eat dining hall food for a whole week!

2. Start a new series

And probably finish it with the amount of time you’ll spend in bed binge watching

3. Go on an adventure

Grab some friends (or even just yourself) and your car keys and go explore somewhere new!

4. Shop till you drop

Taking yourself on a shopping spree is a great close second to a tropical island vacation. Go treat yourself!

5. Do something creative

Maybe re-decorate your room or try your hand at knitting (maybe you have a secret talent for it that you never even knew).

6. Make some new playlists

Discovering new music and making playlists is personally one of my favorite pastimes, try it!

7. Have a Disney movie marathon

Because who doesn't love rewatching old Disney movies and feeling like a kid again.

8. Read a motivating book

Self-help books are some of my favorite types of books to read and always leave me feeling so empowered. I swear once you give it a try you will not regret it!

9. Hit the gym

While lying in bed all day is always an option, so is working on getting that six-pack ready for summer!

10. Learn a new skill

Whether it's sign language or rollerblading, learn something new to do from a friend or even take a class!

11. Go on a picnic

Picnicking is something that is so underrated. Grab some friends and head to a local park and picnic (weather permitting of course).

12. Have a spa day

Make "treat yourself" your motto for spring break

13. Go to the zoo

Hey, it's something different and fun! Who doesn't love animals and taking some Instagram-ready pics?!

14. Take a breather

Just because it seems like everyone else is having an action-packed spring break doesn't mean you have to try to compete with them! Just take a break and enjoy the fact that you don't have to deal with schoolwork for a week!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
