Spring break is one of the best breaks that students greatly anticipate. It is either a time to rest or to party, there is no in between.
For students staying on campus, this article suggests the top three activities to partake in if you are unsure about what to do.
Starting at No. 1, go to the beach!
According to vacationidea.com, Sanibel Island, Jacksonville, Daytona Beach, Clearwater Beach and Fort De Soto are just a few of the 25 best beaches to visit during spring break. If they are more than an hour away, gather some friends or family and take a road trip!
Second on the list, check out some new films.
During the break, the following featured films will be released at the AMC Highwoods 20 movie theatre:
