So winter quarter is over and you’re looking forward to finally having a week to yourself to do things that make you feel relaxed and adventurous at the same time. Here are some ideas on cheat budgeting for your spring break getaway.

 

  1. Find a nice beach and go for a day to just RELAX. With California’s sunny winters it feels like the summer so you might as well head to the beach and enjoy some cool breeze and fresh ocean water. I’m not talking about beaches like Santa Monica or Malibu; go someplace that’s not too far of a drive, like Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, or even down to the beaches in San Diego. At the same time, it’s like taking a little road trip to another city, but in an inexpensive way!

  2. Visit or hangout with some high school friends. This is probably the best way to spend spring break because you guys will be catching up on a lot of things since high school. Talk about one’s love life, party life, and everything else that you could name.

  3. Hiking is a great way to detach yourself from all the dramas in life and just enjoy your time bonding with nature. Places like Griffith Park or hiking to the Hollywood sign is a good way to relieve stress. Plus it doesn’t even cost anything. There are also several hikes that you can look up for Orange County and even San Diego.

  4. Travel. If you have some state that you want to visit and tickets are cheap. Why not just go and have fun? See and learn about the differences between their culture and yours.

 

All in all, there are lots of things to do during spring break. Try to finish the things that you were supposed to do during summer break. That way, you can start writing down more things that you can do during your free time. Anything that can get you away from school and work is a great for your health. Just staying at home or partying is not really making the most out of your spring break, it’s just a waste. Get out there and have fun. Enjoy!
