Spring Break for the Homeward Bound

By Kathryne Davis on March 21, 2013

Not everyone has plans to go to Florida or somewhere warm for spring break, myself included. While leaving for some place warm or fun might sound appealing, here is a list of five things to do while sitting at home over break.

  • Clean your room. This may not sound too fun, but have you ever looked at your old stuff from your early high school days? Old papers, old pictures, anything. Not only will you throw out a lot of useless junk, making room for more useless junk, but you can take a trip down memory lane. You can also put your valuable belongings in colorful carts.
  • Catch up on reading. As college students, we hardly have any time to read for pleasure. So take this week long break to sit back and pick up a book. It’ll feel good to read a book that’s not for class. Plus, you can swap boos with other friends and talk about the books, which is a nice break from non-stop college talk.

  • Go to a movie. Heading to a movie by yourself or with a friend and get the movie theater experience. Plenty of college students watch movies in their rooms, but going out and getting some fresh air is good. You might be spending a little more money than watching at home, but go to a matinee and get cheap popcorn-or skip out on the popcorn all together (a crazy thought, I know).
  • Catch up with old friends. Once we begin college, everyone goes off and does something different. Spring break is a great time to see old friends and check up on how they’re doing.
  • Exercise. Walking, going for a bike ride, anything to get your heart pumping. If you live in a place where the snow doesn’t know it’s almost spring time, working out in your house might be the better option. Try videos on YouTube.

No matter what you do over spring break, make sure you make it great. Because we only have a week. Then it’s back to piles of homework.
