Not everyone is lucky enough to jet off to sunny Florida for spring break, and some of us are stuck in ~slightly~ colder states (*cough* Massachusetts). Instead of scrolling through Tik Tok and Instagram for a week drowning in FOMO, take advantage of your time off to relax and have some fun. If you’re looking for ideas, here are some fun things you can do while spring-breaking from home:
- Get in a workout or run
- Go on a hike/spend time in nature
- Catch up with family you don’t get to see at school
- Make a hair/nails appointment
- Go to the mall
- Cook new recipes (and enjoy a break from dining hall food)
- Watch a new show or read a new book (it’s been a busy semester, take the time to unwind)
- Draw, paint, or do other crafts – you finally have some free time to explore your creative side
- Eat at your favorite hometown restaurant
- Reconnect with old friends from high school if they attend college locally or have the same spring break
- Nap!!!!!!
- Catch up on homework (sounds boring, but you’ll thank yourself next week when you’re 10000 times less stressed)
- Journal
- Write articles for HerCampus (of course <3)
