By Jessica Epperson
It is hard to believe, but Spring Break 2015 is almost here! While many people are going on vacations or visiting family, a lot of students are left with an entirely open schedule for one week. While napping may be a top priority after midterms, this freedom may lead to boredom. No need to fret- there are several activities planned locally during the break that are completely free of charge!
