5 Reasons Christmas Break Is Awesome

No responsibilities, no problem.

Dec 28, 2016

Through all of the hustle and bustle that life can bring to one's life, one can't help but wish that the world would just slow down for a little while. For college students, this slow-paced time is known as Christmas Break. This break is a time for them to unwind and relax after the first semester. Here are a few reasons why I love Christmas Break.

1. So. Much. Time.

Almost a month of break? It's a lot of time, but it goes by fast.

2. Home-Made Food

Nothing beats home-made food, like tater-tot hot dish, when you've been eating cafeteria food for the past four months.

3. Visiting Friends

Admit it, there's nothing that you'd want to do more than seeing the friends that have been there for you as you've grown up and saw you transition into college. The perk of coming back home for break is that you can choose who you hang out with.

4. Making Money

If you have so much time, why not work a little? Not only does it keep you busy for hours at a time, but it also allows you to make extra cash and lets you treat yourself.

5. No Responsibilities

No homework, no problem.

No matter what one thinks, we can all agree that Christmas Break is a good thing.

It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
