So you should definitely turn staying home during spring break into a positive rather than a negative. So you might not be going on a tropical vacation or go on a cruise, but you can still have fun and ultimately get the rest that you need, which can carry you through the semester. Here are some benefits that come with spending spring break at home:
- Family time!– You get to spend time with your family and all of your loved ones. You get to catch up with them, and just feel the love all around.
- Home cooking!– This is a big one y’all. You can get that good home food, and not have to worry about spending your money every other day on food. You can get that nice home cooked meal and have as many plates as you want.
- Relax- Honestly, if you wanted to stay in your bed all day, you can totally do that. Spring break at home can give you time to recharge, and rest your mind, body, and spirit.
- Visiting old Friends– Maybe some of your friends from home have the same spring break as you! Spend time with them, catch up, or maybe go out. This can be a good time to catch up with some old faces.
- Local Spots– You can visit your favorite food place that isn’t around where your school is, and enjoy that all to yourself.
- Sleep– There is a reason that spring break comes right after midterms…..and who doesn’t like their own bed?!
- Catch up on homework– This can be a good opportunity for you to catch up on all the work coming up and to take advantage of that free time.
- Pets– This does not apply to everyone, but if you have a pet this is a great opportunity to see them and spend some quality time with them.
- Self Care- We all love our friends of course, but sometimes it is possible to just have “you” time , away from the pressures of college or the dorm life, and other distractions. You can just be one with yourself.
- Mental Break– Being a home is a good mental break, because you are in a familiar space. You can just give your mind a rest.
