1. Plan a day Trip

Whether you are home or away for break, you should take your car and your best friend and go on an adventure. You don’t necessarily need a destination, just some great music, and great company. It’s all about making new memories.

2. Hit the beach

If you’re on the coast, hit the beach, even in the cold weather the sunset is always beautiful.

3. Make a homemade pizza

Grab a couple friends and spend a night in, make a pizza, and pop in a movie. Maybe even open up a bottle of wine or two.

4. Ice skating/ Rollerskating

Depending on the temperature, it’s always nice to get outside and feel the wind in your hair. Roller skating will bring you back to your childhood, and it is always a lot of fun!

5. Have a paint fight

Call up a bunch of your friends and put tarp down in your back yard and fill water balloons up with paint. Wear white t-shirts if you’re looking for a cool tie-dye effect.

6. Tie-Dye a t-shirt or two

These will be perfect for summer, and it will get you ready and excited to hit the beach when the summer gets over.

7. Give yourself a henna tattoo

Henna is pretty cheap, spend a day with your friends looking up tattoos on Pinterest and carefully reproduce your favorite designs on your friends.

8. Make a fort out of pillows and blankets

Have a sleep over with your friends, it might seem dumb but making a fort is a lot of fun and super comfy. Grab a laptop and watch Netflix until you go to bed.

9. Make at least 1 new friend

In a world of technology and lack of face-to-face communication, it is often difficult to make new friends. Hangout with your friend and their friends from college, you’ll meet new people and be 10x more comfortable when you visit your friend at school!

10. Read a book

If you’re going away, grab a book at the airport! Your flight will go by a lot quicker if you’re engaged in a book, and who knows, you might start up a conversation on the plane about it! Just try not to pick up Fifty Shades…

11. Have a spa day

Take a day off and go get your nails and eyebrows done, when you are prepped and ready to go you will feel like a million bucks!

12. Go on a date

If you have a boyfriend or girlfriend go out with them, if not download Tinder or call up some of the guys you use to talk to in your hometown. The worst thing that could happen is that you’ll have a hilarious story to tell your friends later!

13. Start a conversation with a stranger

If you travel, talk to whoever you sit next to on your plane or train. It never hurts, and you will probably never see them again anyways!

14. Go out to eat with your mom

You always have to show your mom some love, so take her out to a meal and pay for her! She probably deserves it for dealing with you for around 20 years.
