During Christmas Break, a lot of college students (including myself) tend to get lazy and only want to sleep all day. However, there is plenty for you to do over Christmas Break. Here are 10 things that you can do over break if you need any ideas.

1. Spend Time with Friends

This will give you time to catch up with them and see how their experience in college is different from yours. You can also talk about the good days or even the bad days in high school.

2. See a New Movie that is Out

Most of the best films are released during the holiday season (like the new Star Wars). It is a great time to go see new movies because you have a lot of free time.

3. Have a Christmas Party/Go to a Christmas Party

This is the time to spread holiday cheer with friends or family while having fun with those special people in your life.

4. Spend Time with Family

You haven't seen them in like a month or so, so why wouldn't you spend time with them?! This gives you and your family time to talk about things that you have missed when you weren't there.

5. Exercise

Start your new year resolution a few weeks early by exercising regularly during the break. This will keep you healthy and happy during break. Also the Christmas dinner food won't affect you as much if you already are exercising.

6. Bake Christmas Desserts

Doing this will get you in the holiday spirit. Bake cookies, cakes, or pies. Your house will be filled with a delicious aroma of great desserts. Also, this will be a great thing to do on your cheat days.

7. Look at Your Schedule for Next Semester

This will get you familiar with your classes and your professors. It will help you be ready to kill next semester with great grades as well.

8. Go Christmas Caroling with Family and Friends

By caroling with your family and friends, you will spread cheer to strangers who might actually need the holiday cheer.

9. Go See Christmas Lights

This is a great thing to do! You get to see other people's yards filled with amazing light displays. Or other people who go overboard when it comes lights, but its still very cool to see.

10. Volunteer at Shelters or Soup Kitchens

Serving your community is a very good thing to do over your Christmas Break. You will be spreading cheer to those less fortunate than you. Also, you will give them great joy by doing this great deed.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
