Ah, spring break. This is the time of year when everyone flocks to the beach, hoping to trade the bitter cold and endless snow for warm breezes, abundant sunshine, and awkward tan lines.
Everyone but you, that is.
While everyone around you discusses their plans for that sacred seven-day break, you’re thinking about which show you’re going to binge-watch on Netflix first. While your friends shop for bikinis and get spray-tanned (you know, to avoid blinding the other beachgoers), you’re choosing which pair of sweatpants you’re going to live in for the next week and a half.
Now, there’s no shame in spending your break huddled under the covers with your laptop — in fact, that’s exactly what I’ll be doing too — but there are a few things you’ll need to prepare yourself for this ultimate binge-fest:
Snacks on snacks on snacks
Spring break is when diets die. Counting calories? Watching your portion sizes? Psssshhhh, please, you don’t need that kind of negativity in your life. Go ahead, eat that entire box of Twinkies, girl. Reach for the stars. It’s better than gaining weight from alcohol, right?
A list of all the Netflix shows you’ve wanted to watch but couldn’t because, well, school.
Will you lose track of what day it is? Probably. Will you regret your actions and wish you did something more productive with your spring break? Absolutely not.
Your coziest clothes
Because there’s no way you’re putting on real pants this week. And makeup? Forget it. Bare-faced all day ev’ry day.
A playist of your favorite songs
For when you’re home alone and don’t have to worry about anyone walking in on one of your fabulous(ly horrendous) dance parties.
Your pet(s)
Let’s face it, you totally missed your pets while you were away at school, so you obviously want to cuddle with them as much as possible. Plus, nothing says “I missed you” quite like holding your pets hostage in your bedroom and forcing them to love you.
Well, lazy girls, that’s all you need to have the best, most relaxing spring break yet. Enjoy your time off and happy napping!
