Spring Break 101

By Jessica Sweeten

Don’t know what to do for spring break? Don’t worry, because I have the whole week planned out for you. Use my suggestions and you’ll be sure to have a fun and safe spring break you’ll be sure not to forget!

MONDAY

Take a short day trip to Yosemite. Only two hours away, Yosemite National Park boasts some of the nation’s most beautiful landmarks. Take the day to hike Half-Dome, take pictures by El Captain, or visit the falls. Nothing is more calming then a trip to Mother Nature. Admission into the park is $20 per car. For more information, visit www.nps.gov/yose.

TUESDAY

There is nothing like sitting down in your favorite chair with a good book or curling up on the couch to watch a new movie. Take Tuesday to relax and decompress. Catch up on that book list, or go rent that movie you never had to time to see in theatres. Tuesday is your day to RELAX.

WEDNESDAY

With San Francisco only a three-hour drive and Los Angeles a three-and-a-half-hour drive away from Fresno State, you have some options for a fabulous day trip. In San Francisco you could visit the Exploratorium, the museum of science, art, and human perception. Admission to this museum is $14, and more information can be found at www.exploratorium.edu. Los Angeles is also a nice drive and has plenty to offer. You can stroll down Hollywood Boulevard and look at the Hollywood Hall of Fame.

THURSDAY

Take this day to give back to the community. The Jan and Bud Ricther Center for Community Engagement and Service- Learning at California State University, Fresno, offers a wide variety of contacts for several different volunteer opportunities. You can also volunteer at the Bulldog Pantry across from campus.

FRIDAY

Take a break from your school and work schedule and go tan by the pool or swim. It’s Spring Break so take a break! Get away from the monotony of life and just get out and enjoy the spring summer before the Fresno heat hits.

With a whole week of no school, why don’t you expand your horizons and pick up a new hobby? There are tons of hobbies to check out online.
