Alternative Alternative Spring Breaks

MAKE YOUR OWN BEACH

This is easy. While all of your roommates are away on spring break, all you have to do is procure a large amount of sand. AND it’s free! It can be made by grinding rocks until they’re so thin they’re sand. You can find these rocks in various locations around Locust Walk. If you’re not the arts–and–crafts type you can go to an elementary school or a park, anywhere there is a children’s sandbox, and pilfer some of the sand from it. Then you just dump the sand in your room (beware of cats). Use a regular umbrella for a beach umbrella and lie on a towel. Google “ocean sounds” and play them. It’ll be so nice. Extra nice if you have a “happy lamp” that can mimic the sun.
