Winter break for college students is a magical time. After the stress of finals have taken over our lives for a week, it’s nice to leave campus and relax in the comfort of your own home. However, once the holidays are actually over, it’s hard to find new things to do for another two weeks. There’s only so many times you can lay around the house in different spots for hours on end, and getting into that routine is something you don’t want to do. So what do you do then? Here are 35 activities that could be enjoyable for you during these next few weeks.

1. Sleep for 15 hours straight.

2. Re-watch all ten seasons of “Friends.”

3. Go outside for once.

4. Retreat back inside to the safety of your home when you realize it’s too cold out.

5. Read a book for fun.

6. Check all the textbooks you need to buy for next semester.

7. Have a mini heart-attack when you see the price of said textbooks.

8. Drive around your hometown for old time’s sake.

9. Stare at your old high school from the parking lot and contemplate if you should go in or not.

10. Get back in your car when you decide not to go in and vow to never return there again.

11. Eat at your favorite restaurant with all of your high school friends.

12. Run into old classmates that you never wanted to see again after graduation.

13. Pretend to be really excited to see them anyway.

14. Explain what your college life is like a thousand times to friends, family, neighbors, coworkers, etc.

15. Attempt to work out.

16. Do your laundry without having to fight for a washer or dryer.

17. Go to a house party that a friend from high school is throwing.

18. Make cupcakes.

19. Look at old pictures from pre-college days.

20. Remember how cringe-worthy you were in middle school, but how you’re so much better now.

21. Play with your pet.

22. Instagram-stalk your ex.

23. Contemplate hitting up your ex again over break out of sheer boredom.

24. Write a book.

25. Teach yourself how to play a new instrument.

26. Watch conspiracy theory documentaries.

27. Mess around with Snapchat filters.

28. Have an 80s movie marathon.

29. Play Mario Kart (or any classic video game).

30. Build a pillow fort.

31. FaceTime friends from college.

32. Do something nice for your parents.

33. Complain about being bored all the time.

34. Think about how much you miss your friends from college.

35. Countdown the days until you get back on campus.

Being home is nice and all, but there are some days where we just want our freedom back. So hang in there for another few weeks and you’ll be stressing about classes soon enough!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
