We made it through a semester! Now we have a month off. Sounds nice in theory, but if you're like me or my friends, there are a lot of things that will keep you busy during this "break." However, this is supposed to be a break. Even though we might be busy working or writing papers, we still deserve time for ourselves. Thus, this listicle is dedicated to my friends, but also others who may also be in the same boat as us. This listicle will include things to do to take time for yourself this winter break.

1. Play that video game you've been wanting to play since before school started.

2. Spend some time watching your favorite tv show.

3. Take a nap; staying energized is important.

4. Veg out on the couch for a solid hour or two.

5. Re-read your favorite book.

6. Read that new book on your shelf.

7. Go skydiving; live on the edge

8. Take a mini vacation on your day off.

9. Make sure you take a day off (seriously).

10. Adopt a pet to avoid your responsibilities.

11. Join a cult.

12. Order Jimmy Johns without having to worry about what your professors and their friends think.

Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life.
