I have some good news! There are only two small weeks left between you and the sweet embrace of Spring Break. Maybe you already have plans, but maybe you don’t. In that case, I’m here to help you out with some fun ways to spend your time this Spring Break, that also won’t break the bank.
1. Road Trip!
I don’t know about you, but I’ve had a serious case of cabin fever lately. It’s not too late to plan a trip with some friends, or by yourself to get out of here! Go visit some family, a different state, the beach, or another friend at a different college. Take a map, or don’t! The journey is more important than the destination!
2. Go To a Local Spring Fair or Festival
Look up in your local newspaper or online magazine about the city’s going-ons. I can guarantee that there will be a farmer’s market, spring fair, or even a free music festival for you to go to! Find some cool handmade stuff, some fresh produce, and get a yummy snack.
3. De-Stress
Take some time for yourself this spring break. Drink some tea, take a nice bubble bath, read a book, take a yoga class, or find your new favorite band. Make sure you pamper yourself and take some time to relax. Whether you need some good, old, “me time” or time with some friends, do what it takes to make you happy.
4. Finish a Goal
Maybe there’s a book you started over Christmas Break that you just haven’t found time to pick up again. Or perhaps a DIY project that you started a while back but didn’t finish. Get your personal space in order, or even just catch up on sleep. Take some time to do some goal-oriented “spring cleaning.”
5. Head to the Beach
The classic Spring Break trip. Take a few friends, your family, your significant other, or yourself and head to the coast! Whether you’re headed back to sunny California, or staying in Portland, the ocean is always a great place to be. Being that campus is only an hour and a half away from the coast, it makes for a great weekend trip!
