Top Ten | Artsy things to do this spring break

Believe it or not, spring break is once again upon us. Ah, spring break: the only time of year that Florida isn't the worst state of all time. Though some of us will stay local and endure the overcast skies and chilly air of Medford and Somerville, many will head to tropical locales to enjoy the sun and surf. Whatever your situation, the Daily Arts Department has compiled a list of artsy activities for you to do while enjoy your week-long exotic siesta.

 

10) Make Pintrest crafts: Good luck. You know as well as we do that trying to make a Pintrest craft is like trying to finish a game of Monopoly: It's just not gonna happen.

 

9) Watch "Spring Breakers" (2012): This modern day classic has all of the necessary spring break elements: former child stars doing weird sex things, ragers on the beach and James Franco in cornrows.

 

8) Take artsy photos: We can't wait to see your "creative" Instagram post of your pale, pale legs with a Jodi Picoult book on your knees and the beautiful beach as a backdrop. #blessed

 

7) Read the Bible: #literallyblessed

 

6) Start that blog: You have a lot of amazing things to say about the system, education, your step-dad and the prison industrial complex. Now is the time to make your voice heard. Speak your truth.

5) Go on a Netflix binge: You hated everyone obsessing over "House of Cards" (2013-present) this past February. Well, it's time to drink the proverbial Kool-Aid (and also the real Kool-Aid because it's probs gonna be, like, hot).

 

4) Play barbershop with your hairy legs: Let's be real people, shaving your legs during the winter is a joke - ain't nobody got time for that. After peeling off your jeans and your thermal underwear (which may be fused to the skin in certain places at this point), feel free to get creative with some designs.

 

3) Get ignored by your family: Now that the jolly holiday season is gone for good, nobody's going to be happy to see you - not even the family dog.

 

2) Consider cutting your hair super short but then back out at the last minute: After one too many breakdowns on the makeover episodes of "America's Next Top Model" (2003-present), you back out. You could only pull it off in the ironic Lena Dunham style anyways, and you're just not brave enough.

 

1) Get drunk: C'mon, let's be real. We're all just counting down the days before we can leave our right minds. Just be safe, dummies! SPRING BREAK 2014 FOREVER.
