1. Spend time with your parents and siblings!

They miss you! Don't forget that. Yes, even your little brothers miss you although they might not show it.

2. Go see your grandparents!

Go sit and talk to your grandparents. They want to hear about how school is going, friend drama, and everything else that's happening in your life. They are proud of you, and they want to make sure you're doing okay.

3. GET SOME GOOD REST!

You just finished midterms. Get some sleep. You know you've been staying up studying so rejuvenate and be ready for the second half of the semester when break is over.

4. Hang out with your friends.

They probably miss you just as much as you miss them. Go talk to them. Hug them. That's much better than the hour long facetime calls you've been having.

5. It's spooky season so go see a scary movie.

It's October! Get a group together, and go see a scary movie. If you don't want to go to the movies, have a scary movie night at home with your family and friends.

6. Carve or paint a pumpkin.

Make a run to the nearest pumpkin patch and pick out the most BOOtiful pumpkin.

7. Cozy up and read a good book.

A good read is always an option. You could go for a thriller or mystery. Or a good ole love story.

A few suggestions: The House on Mango Street, The Outsiders, Dear Evan Hansen, The Fault in Our Stars, and To All the Boys I've Loved Before. Those are just a few of my favs.

8. On Saturday, watch college football.

Of course, every Saturday of football season is for college football!!!

9. Eat at your favorite hometown restaurant.

You know you've missed that one little restaurant back home. Go! Get your favorite thing. Yummy.

10. Get ahead (or caught up) on school work.

If you're anything like me, you aren't behind, but you could definitely be more ahead than you are. If you run out of things to do, there is always school work.
