No Spring Break??

So be honest, when you heard Ole Miss was skipping Spring Break this year in order to finish earlier, how did you react? Most students seemed disappointed their annual trip with friends may be cancelled or if you are lucky just pushed back to May. It may even be more difficult to hear next week that the local school are in fact on Spring Break and you are still attending classes. Well, do not despair! This post is all on giving you pointers for your own epic, LOCAL Spring Break! Quick disclaimer though, I am NOT a tour guide nor do I have a hobby of researching all things local so this is not an exhaustive list of what you can do. Hopefully though, it is enough to give you some ideas. When life throws curve balls, we have to learn to adapt. No travel plans for Spring Break, no problem. Check out some local options for fun with friends!
