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!

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

For better or for worse

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
