Unfortunately,
at the expense of many Wake County students and teachers, spring break has
technically been cut down to two days. Despite that, there is still plenty of
opportunity for fun to take place by taking some pointers from a few of these
brilliant ideas.
Spend Time Outside
If
you are looking for something to do that will spur conversation, allow you to
enjoy nature and get some sunshine, go on a walk at a local park. You may find
an opportunity to watch the daily endeavors of local aquatic birds. At the end
of a busy spring day in Apex, it’s always a treat to pay a visit to Lake Pine at
sunset and enjoy the view.
Try Geocaching
Geocache
is the world’s biggest online scavenger hunt and there are plenty of geocaching
spots all over Apex for you to discover simply by downloading the official Geocaching
app. Other geocachers, as they are called, in the area will place items in
specific locations and will offer hints and coordinates on the app in order to
aid you in your search.
Chill
Take
a break from everything for a day and just sleep, don’t go to work, chill out. Take
this very special opportunity to turn off your phone and, for a little bit, let
yourself live in the moment.
Paint the Town Red
Head
downtown this spring break, either in Apex, Cary or in Raleigh and see what
your local municipalities have to offer you. Grab a coffee at Common Grounds in
Downtown Apex before taking a nice stroll around town. Maybe catch a movie at
the new Cary Theatre in downtown Cary. You could even head into downtown
Raleigh and have a vegan sub from the Remedy Diner. With warm weather quickly
approaching ice cream shops will once again become the cool place to hang out.
Play Video Games/Watch Television
If
you find yourself indoors this spring break remember that video games are a fun
equivalent to playing outside. Hold a Super Smash Bros 4 tournament on your
friend’s Wii U or maybe take things up a notch and play some Tekken Tag
Tournament on your PS3. If video games aren’t available or just simply aren’t cutting
it for you, remember Netflix and Hulu are both excellent sources for popular TV
shows and movies including Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Ru Paul’s Drag
Race, and Grey’s Anatomy.
Try downloading a new app
Perhaps
your spring break isn’t all you’ve hoped for it to be and you find yourself
bogged down by work and responsibility. Thankfully phone gaming is a relatively
discreet relief from boredom and can be accomplished while at work. Some of the
more popular, free apps include Tetris, Jelly Jump, Crossy Road, and Trivia
Crack.
