Spring Break is almost here and while many of us may have planned out our vacations well in advance, some of us may have missed the boat.
Don't worry, there are still plenty of fun and exciting things you can do without much advance planning. Here are four last minute spring break ideas for college students that you can do close to home:
Road Trip
Pack up your car with some snacks, music, and friends, and hit the road. Choose a destination that's within a few hours' drive, such as a nearby beach, national park, or city. You can book a hotel or Airbnb when you arrive, or even camp if you're feeling adventurous.
Volunteer
Spring Break is a great time to give back to your community. Check with local charities, food banks, or animal shelters to see if they need any volunteers. Not only will you be doing good, but you'll also meet new people and gain valuable experience.
Explore Your City
Just because you're not going away doesn't mean you can't have fun. Take a break from schoolwork and explore your own city. Visit local museums, parks, and attractions that you've never been to before. Try new restaurants, go to a movie, or just relax and catch up on some much-needed rest.
Outdoor adventures
If you're looking for an adventure, consider outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, kayaking, or rock climbing. Many state parks offer rental equipment and guided tours, making it easy to plan a last-minute trip. You can also plan a camping trip with friends or take a day trip to a nearby lake or beach.
