Got nothing to do during Spring Break? Did all your friends leave you by your lonesome to go visit their family or out-of-state boyfriends? I’m sorry. But don’t mope around campus for a week! Here’s what you can do to have a fully productive SPRIIIIIING BREAAAAAAAK (CABOCANCUNPUERTOVALLARTABEEEACHHPAARRTY)!!!
For school: I know no one wants to hear this, but after you finish your last final, don’t just drop everything and run home to catch up on your week of missed sleep. I mean, definitely do that if you did, in fact, miss a week of sleep. Also, that’s impressive. Anyways, Spring break’s a fabulous time to catch up on your studies, as much as you probably don’t want to. Even if it’s buying your textbooks and looking the material over beforehand, or even reading a wikipedia article…you’ll probably be more prepared than anyone else in the class on the first day.
For intelligence: Read a book, man. College doesn’t let you do that. But, who can blame us? A book is the last thing we probably all want to see when professors are shoving 35-page reading packets down our throat every night. For an extra thought-provoking read, turn to A Shore Thing by Nicole Polizzi, AKA the Jane Austen of our time.
For finances: Pay your BILL$! Go through everything, call everyone, and make sure you don’t owe no-one-nothin’! Medical bills, library fines, credit card bills, your phone bill…It sounds pretty boring, and also I’m sure we’d all rather make a big ridiculous purchase instead of a bunch of little stupid payments, but starting the quarter with a clean slate is a feeling unlike any other.
For work: If you’re working, good for you. But don’t work yourself to death. Although this is an opportunity for a few of us to work full-time for the week, remember that you are on break and deserve a little bit of playtime for all your hard work from Winter Quarter. But also, by all means, if you’re trynna make $$$$$: get it girl.
For play: It’s probably going to rain the whole week of Spring Break. I’m being a negative Nancy, but I’m also being honest. So, if you don’t want to put up with it…leave Seattle! It’s not too late to plan a trip anywhere, really. If you’re on a budget, take the train to Portland of Vancouver. If you just came up on a small fortune, take a private jet to Panama or Iceland. The world is your oyster, mami!
For girlfriend bonding: Hang out all day eating chips and salsa and watching TLC and Lifetime movies on demand. Adjust this to your group of girlfren’s.
For your health: “Spend a lot of your time on Sunday making sandwiches for the rest of the week then you’re prepared, ya turkey!”:
