Winter break is a time for winding down, relaxing after the stressful semester, and to have fun. Although winter break was great, there are many things I should have done during it. But did I? No. So here are some things that I should have done this winter break that does not include watching Netflix.

1. Built A Snowman

It has been years since I’ve gone outside and played in the snow. I can’t even remember the last time I did. The least I could have done is just gone outside and made a snow angel or something. But I guess that would’ve been a lot of work.

2. Taken a road trip

I am only going to be a college student once. I should have used almost a month off of school to take a short trip to somewhere new, but I guess I would rather spend my money on half-off apps at Applebee’s instead.

3. Read a book

Instead of letting my mind turn to mush because of the hours of Netflix I decided I needed in my life, I should have spent that time reading.

4. Gone sledding

Why would I ever want to go outside and do something super fun during winter break when I could sit inside and watch Netflix and think about how bored I am? Smart, right?

5. Spent more time with friends and family

Although I did have my fair share of time with my family and friends during winter break, I always wish I could’ve had more time with them.

6. Cleaned my room

You can tell I’ve been a hermit and watching Netflix for a month, that’s all I’ve got to say about that.

7. Saved money

I want to take so many road trips and do so many new things, but I think life’s temptations (meaning Sephora and Ulta) got in the way.

8. Gotten a tattoo

I’ve been saving up to get a tattoo for a while now, and I know what I want to get, but I just haven’t gone to get it. Winter break would’ve been the perfect opportunity, but why would I be that smart?

9. Tried something I’ve never tried before

I had the perfect opportunity to try something new like snowboarding, cross country skiing, anything. But instead, I needed Netflix in my life. Shocker.

10. Started a new show on Netflix

Well, I guess if the only thing I saw fit for my entire winter break was watching Netflix, I could have at least started a new show I’ve never watched before, rather than re-watching the shows I’ve already watched a million times. But oh well, there’s always next year.
