As spring break is rapidly approaching, many people are traveling to escape the rain, snow and cloudy atmosphere, but what about the others who are staying home? Here’s a few things to do to combat boredom.
When it comes to staying home for break, just taking a break from school to watch movies and sleeping in is good for relaxation. Streaming services like Netflix and Peacock have thousands of options fitting for any kind of interest. According to Statistica.com, Peacock’s paid subscribers amounted to 31 million, marking an increase compared with previous quarters.
Finding friends that are also staying home for break is important as well. If schedules coordinate well, spending time with friends is another way to enjoy spring break. It doesn’t have to be an expensive hangout either. Sometimes just sitting down and talking to each other can be peaceful. Not having human interaction outside of family can cause a decline in mental health, so having an outside outlet can be beneficial for a long break.
Shopping is a big part of spring break. Whether it’s spending time in a favorite clothing store or heading down to a mall, shopping is a nice way to combat boredom. Another plus to shopping during spring break is the potential of spring sales and discounts. Stores like Target offer major discounts on spring attire and accessories for every style. According to thefool.com, the average person spends about $49 every time they enter Target. Using rewards programs like Target Circle decreases the amount of money spent every trip.
Spring break doesn’t have to be spent completely doing nothing, but having a nice balance between relaxing and going out is beneficial for students everywhere.
