It's no doubt that one point or another you will get bored during Spring break. Some people may be traveling to extreme tropical places, while you are just stuck at home. Some people have a reading list of what they want to read, or are going to be watching shows on Netflix like 13 Reasons Why. Some, have no idea what they are going to be spending their vacation by doing. So if you are one of those people who have no idea, I got you.
💻 Get a 30-day free trial of Netflix
This could be an idea to get and use now, but it isn't ideal. I would actually save your 30-day trial for the Summer when you have months off, not just a week.
📺 Get some movies you have been wanting to watch
If you have a library where you can rent movies from, Go to the library and go get those movies and have a nice mini-movie-marathon. Here is a list of movies if you don't know what to watch

- 10 Things I Hate about you
- She's the Man
- Pitch Perfect
- Pitch Perfect 2
- Freaky Friday
- The Blind Side
📖 Read some books
I know you might not want to read books because that has to do with school, and when you are on vacation, you want nothing to do with school whatsoever. But. If you pick up a good book, I will guarantee, you won't be able to put it down. Time flies when you are reading a good book. Here is a list of a few books you could read if you don't know:

👕 Clean out your closet
Go through your closet or dresser and see what you do or don't wear and what fits and what doesn't. On the bright side of it all, you can get new clothes after!
🏬 Go Shopping
Take a trip to the mall! If there is a friend that is nearby and is just as bored as you, take them along with you! Even though, you might not get anything, it's a few hours to kill.
💐 Create a Flower Garden
Plant some seeds and water them each day, and eventually you will have plenty of beautiful flowers to smell and take pictures of or with.
✂ Do some DIYs
DIYs can be fun and sometimes do take up a lot of time. Either there is a DIY you have been wanting to do, or you can look up some things online. I have also done a few DIY blog posts, so here is a list of them.

🍳 Cook or bake some food
Now would be a perfect time to try out some new recipes or make some cakes and cookies. If you want to make a cool cake, I would recommend going to the YouTube Channel How To Cake It where you can find how to make a ton of cool cakes.
🐟 Visit an aquarium
I personally haven't been to the aquarium in a very long time. That might be the case for you also. There are so many different kinds of marine animals that are so cool.
🐯 Visit a zoo
I also haven't been to the zoo in a long time and zoos are really fun. Now that you have a good amount of time on your hands, take a trip to the zoo and go visit your favorite animal or find a new favorite. You can also learn a ton of cool facts about animals.
📚 💻 Research a topic and become an expert
When you have nothing to do, it might be fun to just go online, and find something cool and interesting to research and then share with your family and friends what you learned. Here are a few researching topics if you don't know what to search.
- An Animal
- Fashion Designer
- Place
- Disease
- An Event
- Food
💪 Exercise
You might not be able to hit the beach now, but maybe you want to get a nice beach bod for later. I am not say in any way shape or form that you should work out. This is all choice. If you choose to work out, here are some exercises and apps.
- Sworkit
- Nike+ Training Club
- Russian Twists
- Planks
- Push ups
- Crunches
- Sit ups
- Leg Raises
💅 Spa Day
The stress of school has been terrible. Take a moment to unwind from school stress and go vacation mode with a nice spa day. Take a warm bath with a bath bomb or Epsom salts, do face masks, and paint your nails.
🎨 Create art
There are so many different kinds of art you could make. Drawings, paintings, prints, computer design, etc. Try something out and you might actually have fun and relax during it.
📷 Take photos
This could mean that you conduct a photo shoot for you and your friends or just yourself. You could also take pictures of nature. You don't need anything special, You can use your iPhone or whatever you have.
✒ Write a book
Sometimes you have an idea, and then you could turn it into something huge. If you have a big imagination, this might not be too hard. Or it could be a spin off your everyday life, or what you wish your life could be like. Think about anything and you could pretty much make anything a book.
🔠 Learn a new language
When you are bored, spend that time productively by learning a new language. Fun fact, once when I was bored, I learned some Icelandic. I recommend using the website Memrise.
💄 Try out makeup looks or extreme makeup
Once when I was bored during halloween I tried to do some extreme makeup with the makeup I had, and it was really fun. Or you can improve your makeup skills for the future.
I hope you all enjoyed this post and won't be bored during vacation now that you have this list. I could go on forever, but then this post would be even longer. If you have any suggestions for something to do during vacation that I didn't mention, comment below to let everyone know.
