The sun is shining, jackets are coming off and students are eager for the last bell! No need to plan an extensive vacation away when relaxing at home is just as exciting! If your break is in February, March or April, these ideas are sure to apply to anywhere at any time. Here are some activities to plan your break and make the most of it (without breaking the bank)!
Hit the Books
You know all of those books you haven’t gotten around to reading because of all your school work? Now is a great time to catch up! Go to your local library, Barnes & Noble, scroll through TikTok on “BookTok” or look at some HerCampus articles and find your next read. A sweet spring romance or a dark and twisted mystery…the options are endless!
Road Trip
Make a good Spotify playlist, buy some snacks and make a list of places to stop at. It can be a close or far trip—it doesn’t matter. You can go alone or bring a friend or sibling. Just get on the open roads and drive!
Spring Cleaning
We have all been dreading cleaning out that one drawer or reorganizing our closet. Spring break is a great time to donate some old shoes you don’t wear anymore or color code your closet. Trust me, you will feel so much better and be glad you spent the time to get that annoying task off the list!
Get Outside
It’s easy to fall into a cycle of sleep, school and eat. Going outside for a walk on a trail, biking around a neighborhood and just exploring nature is a great way to reduce stress and get your mind off things. So put on your sneakers and a light jacket and go outdoors!
Spa Day
A day of face masks, an “everything shower,” a good TV show and a drink of choice is the best day. Take the day off and focus on YOU. Maybe add some yoga or stretching to care for your body too. Pampering yourself is much needed and can help you be ready to take on the rest of the semester!
Pick up A Shift
Text your boss and tell them you’re home for the week! Why not make some extra money? You can put the money towards a fresh mani and pedi or a shopping spree for a new summer wardrobe or go out to eat at a fancy dinner. You won’t regret making a little extra cash to go back to school with!
Enjoy your upcoming spring break!
