#SpringBroke
Spring is here, but I’m still a broke student, and even though funds are low, that doesn’t mean the fun has to be low as well. So here’s five things to do while being a broke student during spring that will be not only be affordable, but a great time for you and your friends.
#1. Drinks on Deck
Spring days and warm nights are soon upon us. With that in mind, a nice cold drink (preferably from Starbucks) is in order. Even though Starbucks is thought to be for stay at home moms, pompous teenagers, and hippies that drink dirty chai lovers, it can also be for urban youts. So here are some drinks that you can order to cool down and relax during #SpringBroke
Venti Ice water with a scope of berries, limes, and strawberries $1.50 (So refreshing!)
Venti Passion Tea Lemonade with 2 pumps of peach 2 pumps of mango and 2 pumps of raspberry $4.01 ( Extremely Tasty)
#2. Netflix and Chill (By Myself)
As a student, you need time to be alone and do something that you actually enjoy doing. You’ve been hard at work, waking up early for class, studying from sun up to sundown. So instead of going out, gather up some of your favorite snacks and beverages and catch up on some of your favorite T.V series and old movies. “Orange is the New Black” is soon to release a new season, so what’s better than catching up on one of the best series there is on Netflix.
#3. Spring Adventures
Gather all of your friends and be ready for a great time. No matter where you live we all have different forms of parks and recreations. Each city has there own little perks. Walk around town and explore. Find new adventures. Around this time in the NYC, you may find some amazing performers in parks that put on a spectacular show for natives and tourist. Find an amazing food truck; they may be parked along the edges of popular parks if they are permitted. If none of the above is available at your local park, turn off your phone and talk to people. Play on the swings, slide down the slide, climb the jungle gym like nobody's watching. All of the kids should be in school, so the park is all yours.
#4. Star Gazing
Stargazing is America’s best-kept secret. Tell all of your friends that you have an idea that’s fun and free. All that is needed is a blanket, good music, and great friends. Wait until it gets slightly dark and go to your backyard, layout your blankets and portable speaker, lay down and look up; simple as that. Talk about old times and new memories. If you want to splurge you can include some s’mores.
#5. Food is Everywhere
Finding a new up & coming restaurant seems quite hard, but now a day it’s simple. But then you have to factor in that it needs to be in budget, which can make it a little more difficult. Yelp has some pretty good reviews and ratings. Ask your friends as well, usually if they say it’s good and affordable, they’re typically right. If you go to the restaurant or in my case, Roman House, bring a lunch buddy and it could only set you back $10. Restaurant Tip: Order water it is not only cheaper it is healthier and breakouts can be a thing of the past.
