UJiead to the beach, ski slopes or oth-
Cer fabulous vacations. If you are not
! *■ one of them, there are many things to
>.£lo in and around College Station dur-
■-* mg spring break.
C* * Watching movies is a good way to
let your mind relax after midterm ex
ams. A movie marathon can span a
few days or nights. An example of
this would be to rent all the films
from' The Godfather trilogy and
watch them in succession. This is a
cheap and easy way to entertain
yourself or a group of friends.
For those who want to stay around
their dorm or apartment, enhance
your surroundings with a little spring
cleaning. Spring break is the perfect
opportunity to tackle all the cleaning
jobs that get passed over from lack of
time. After the cleaning is complet
ed, it may be a good idea to rearrange
the furniture or even redecorate.
Try sprucing up white walls with
cheery spring colors. Repainting will
take up a majority of the week. Paint
ing can also be a social occasion. If
yours is the room that needs a paint
job, order a pizza, call some friends
and turn on the tunes. Make sure you
lay down newspaper before you paint
in case the fun gets out of control.
After the decorating facelift is
complete, the next step is to show off

the new arrangement. An easy way to
do this is to throw a party and invite
friends who are in town during the
break. Parties are a good idea even if
you have not redecorated.
Lisa Miles, a senior French and
English major, said she is going to
have a party at her house during the
break.
“I’m going to throw a weeklong
party at my house,” Miles said. "I
think I’ll make it a Hawaiian theme
party — get some singles — 'Temp
tation Island’ singles, that is.”
For the Martha Stewart
wannabes, making different recipes
for your parties is a good way to en
tertain yourself and impress your
friends. Since you have all day to
cook, you can experiment until you
have the perfect dish.
For those who want a break from
their apartment or dorm room, there
are several outdoor activities in the
Bryan-College Station area.
There is more to this region than
the area bounded by Texas Avenue,
University Drive, Wellborn Road
and George Bush Drive. Downtown
Bryan is a great place to explore for
its historic buildings andr HOUSTOI
