10 Things Students Should/Could Do Over Winter Break
Winter Break – No School...
  1. Baking…nothing says “holiday spirit” more than the sweet smell of baked goodies during the winter holidays.
  2. Why not find the time to catch up on that new novel series that you’ve been dying to start for awhile? Let’s try reading something we actually enjoy instead of the required reading we usually do for school.
  3. Catch up with old friends. Use this time to catch up, and reminisce on the good old days.
  4. Don’t just spend all your time hanging with your old gang, remember family means everything too. Nothing screams “happy time” more than spending time with the family-_-
  5. Need some cash? Find a part-time job. Save up for those last minute gifts for friends and family or save up for after the break.
  6. Get into the swing of developing a short and bittersweet love affair with a new movie or tv series.
  7. Check out the holiday decorations and Christmas light displays.
  8. Relax…Finals just kicked butts, this is the time to just lay low and take some time for you. Curl up with a nice blanket and a cup of warm hot chocolate and just…Relax:)
  9. Eat until your hearts content. You’ve lived on take out and dining food for months, enjoy the savoring taste of a home cooked meal!
  10. Go Iceskating…Go Sledding…Do something fun and exciting in this cold time of year, if it even is cold where you are.

Going to the gym and working out on a daily basis (with breaks once in awhile) has been a great way for me to feel good about myself. It is 100% more than just looking good. Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.

Oh college, lovely, lovely college. A four-year time span that is filled with many highs and many lows. Between procrastinating on an essay that is due at midnight to getting your first library card (if you know what I mean), college is a time that you should not take for granted, yet it is also a time where you feel like your entire world is falling apart. It is a time where one day you can feel like you are on top of the world and then the next day you are 500 feet below the ground surface.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.
