Happy Fall Break! Sunny skies are reported, which means that these three days will be ideal for enjoying the fleeting, treasured moments of warm weather. If your calendar awaits fun activities, here are some ideas:
- Visit Newport, use the RIPTA, and enjoy a coastal stroll with friends.
- Pick up local produce at the farmers’ market & have an outdoor picnic on the Main Green.
- Explore the Providence Capital during the day & try a new Providence restaurant at night.
- Take yourself out on a date. Enjoy some personal rejuvenation and nourishment as a reward for all your hard work this semester.
- Clean your dorm… although it sounds less appealing at first glance, there are ways to make cleaning an enjoyable experience. Begin by playing your favorite playlist, changing your sheets, vacuuming, and tidying your desk space, and conclude with a feeling of productivity, completion, and a newfound sense of cleanliness.
- Call a friend from home & schedule a Zoom coffee date. The extra day off is the perfect time to reconnect with hometown friends.
- Go thrifting with friends. Return from fall break with some new key pieces to enhance your colder wardrobe collection.
- Visit Trader Joe’s! Few places offer a more seasonally-engaging array of snacks, treats, and meals. Perhaps you cook a delicious fall spread with your roommates in the kitchen or bake some tasty pumpkin treats. Either way, your palette will be delighted by the tastes of all things Trader Joe’s fall, and the excursion will feel like a reprieve from the consuming paradigm of school and assignments.
