Are you staying in Radford for spring break? Perhaps you're just going home. Nothing spectacular to do for spring break, plain and simple? Maybe you should try and get some work done. I know it seems like work is a four letter work during this week of from classes, but doing something productive will give you a feeling of accomplishment. And you'll have much more to show for your time than a hangover and a sunburn.

  • Catch up on school work. I know it's spring break and the last thing you want to do is school work. But if you do it now, you'll have less to do later on.
  • Start up-coming projects. Again, school work is a drag. But starting projects early means while your classmates are in a frenzy trying to slap together something you'll either already be finished or can finish at a leisurely pace, which is always nice.
  • Summer job or internship hunting. Work is a necessary evil, so you might as well hammer out what you're doing for the summer while you have some spare time. It's easier to do it now than during the first few weeks of summer when everyone is competing for a space.
  • Organize or clean something. While you have the time you might as well clear some of the clutter from your life. Clean your room or go through your closet and find things you don't wear anymore and donate them. The less clutter in your life the better you'll feel, period.
  • Donate your time. There are plenty of organizations and charities out there driven by the help of volunteers. Find out what's going on around you and see what you can do to help. There's nothing better than spending your time to make a difference in the world.

These are just a few things you can do to kill time over break if you're not heading somewhere exotic. Whatever you decide to do, enjoy your week off. It's the last one you get until finals.
