Over the past week, the weather has taken a turn and it's finally lovely outside. So now, I'm taking advantage of it as much as I can. Along with the nice weather, I've also taken a much needed break from technology. It's truly amazing to find out what's out there when you just look up every once in a while.

1. Read A Book

This one seems so obvious, yet whenever I had spare time before, I always turned right to Netflix. After an evening of sitting around watching T.V. I feel lazy and unproductive, but after reading all evening I feel re-energized.

2. Sitting Outside

Where I live, I have a balcony that faces the woods, I see a lot of deer, and best of all, the sun! But then again, anywhere outside is great! I spent my time on the balcony doing everything from homework, to reading, to making friendship bracelets, to just sitting around and enjoying the nature.

3. Take A Drive

There's something so invigorating about the first time each year you get to drive down some long back road. Especially with all the windows down and the music just a little too loud. Just a drive though, no places to be and no rushing, just driving.

4. Take A Hike

Cliche, I know. But what better way to enjoy a sunny day after a cold and rainy week than some time outside -- with a view! Now calling what I did a hike is a stretch, but none the less... there was sure a view!

5. Cook!

I find that I am often so attached to my phone and computer, that when it's time for dinner I make something easy and definitely not healthy. While being away from my phone, I've cooked just a few more full meals from recipes!
