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.

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. 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. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
