Here at Flashnotes, we love any excuse to shut our laptops down and enjoy some quality R and R. It looks as though you guys like to do the same! Here are some alternative spring break adventures.
Go somewhere warm and tropical.
You can build houses for habitat for humanity in Latin American countries or rehab native plant species in Florida. Get that warm, fuzzy feeling inside knowing that you actually did something productive and selfless with your spare time. You can even meet new friends that share the common interest of being a productive citizen. We love what Northeastern University’s students are doing!
Find yourself a summer internship.
We cannot emphasize this enough: internships earn you jobs after college. Internships are the best way to prove to future employers that you have real world experience as opposed to book knowledge. Our favorite internship website is Internmatch. While finding a great summer internship shouldn’t take you all of spring break to do, it’s definitely worth it to spend some quality time networking and securing that internship.
Head for the mountains.
Winter can be cold, long, and boring. Sometime around March people just get fed up with the snow and decide that it should be summer already. Hold your horses, everyone! Did we all forget the joys of snow in the mountains? Being stuck in the snow in a city can give you cabin fever, but being in the snow in the great outdoors gives you a sense of
Yours truly hanging out at Lake Tahoe
adventure. Snow mobiling, snow shoeing, snowboarding, hiking, sledding- all of these are great outdoor activities that can help get your blood pumping. Have you ever hiked up a mountain and then snowboarded down it? Let me be the first to tell you that it’s an unreal feeling!
If you need to make a quick getaway, Jet Blue and Student Universe have great deals to get you out of your college town. We wish you all a happy spring break. We’ll be here for you when you get back!
