How to Make the Best of March Break: A Student’s Guide

March Break is here! A whole week with no classes, no homework (hopefully), and a chance to relax. But don’t let it slip by without making the most of it. Whether you want to recharge, get ahead, or have fun, here’s how to make the best of your break.

1. Rest, But Don’t Waste It

Yes, sleep in! You deserve it. But don’t spend the whole week glued to your bed or binge-watching shows. Set a daily schedule to balance rest with productivity.

Pro Tip: Aim for at least 7-9 hours of sleep to reset your energy.

2. Try Something New

March Break is the perfect time to explore a new hobby or skill. Learn to cook, start a DIY project, or even try a new sport. Want to make it productive? Take an online course or read a book outside of your school syllabus.

Ideas to Try:

✔ Learn a few phrases in a new language
✔ Start a short fitness challenge
✔ Experiment with photography or writing

3. Plan a Mini Adventure

You don’t need a big vacation to have fun. A local day trip can be just as exciting. Visit a museum, go for a hike, or check out a new café with friends.

Budget-Friendly Ideas:

✔ Picnic in the park
✔ Road trip to a nearby town
✔ Visit a local art gallery or zoo

4. Catch Up on School (Just a Little!)

Okay, this isn’t the most exciting tip, but hear us out. A little review now can make the rest of your semester  or school year easier. Take a day to organize your notes, finish an assignment early, or prep for upcoming tests with one of our tutors!

Make It Fun:

✔ Study at a café with friends
✔ Use colourful notes and study apps
✔ Reward yourself with a treat after

5. Spend Time with Family & Friends

During the school year, it’s easy to lose touch with people. Use this time to reconnect. Plan a game night, cook dinner together, or just have a long, uninterrupted chat.

6. Stay Active

Don’t let March Break turn into a couch potato week. Get outside, go for a walk, or try a new workout. Even a short daily stretch can boost your mood and energy.

Fun Ways to Stay Active:

✔ Go skating or swimming
✔ Try a new dance or yoga routine
✔ Challenge friends to a sports match

7. Unplug & Refresh

Social media is fun, but too much screen time can drain you. Take a break from endless scrolling. Try a tech-free morning or an entire day without screens. You’ll feel more refreshed and focused.

Easy Ways to Unplug:

✔ Read a book instead of scrolling
✔ Go outside without your phone
✔ Try journaling or meditating

Final Thoughts

March Break is a chance to reset, have fun, and get ready for the rest of the school year. Plan your time wisely, mix in some fun and productivity, and make this break one to remember!
