5 Things to Do Over Spring Break

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Rutgers chapter.

Tonight, spring break officially begins! Each year, I have a list of things I want to do over spring break and, although I never completely finish it, there are a few items that are essential to having a good break. These are the highlights:

1. Hang out with friends from home!
I feel like I never get to see my friends from home and I can’t wait to see them over break! Take a trip to your hometown favorites like a diner, the mall, or the movies, or take a road trip somewhere new! Make sure to catch up with each other. 

2. Spend some time with your family and pets!
They probably miss you as much as you miss them! Check in with your family and see what has been going on in their lives while you have been away. Don’t forget to give your pet a lot of hugs!

3. Catch up on TV and binge Netflix!
With crazy schedules each semester, it’s often difficult to find time to relax by watching TV and Netflix. This spring break is a great time to catch up on all those missed episodes.

4. Exericse!
With all this free time and nice weather, spring break affords the perfect oppourtunity to get outside and get moving! Check out workouts on Pinterest or make up your own!

5. Read
Pick up a new book or two, or an old favorite, and crack them open this break! There is no better time to catch up on your readin!
