Winter break is finally here, and while it's an exciting time to finally be able to relax from the stress of classes, there are many ways you can spend that time. You can use your time proactively or leisurely. Here is a list of 7 things you can do to get through your month away from classes.


1. Get a part-time job.

Even though this time is for relaxing, getting a part time job is a great way to take off some of the stress of your spring semester. Whether you use the money for school related items or just for some extra spending money, a part-time job is a great way to stay on top of your game during the winter.

2. Volunteering.

If you're not really interested in getting a job during your break, why not try volunteering some time during your break. There are usually many winter themed opportunities you can find, it just takes looking around your community.

3. Achieving your New Year's resolution for this year.

We rarely stick to our New Year's resolution list, so why not try to finish it now? You'll have a few weeks to do so.

4. Find a new show to binge-watch on Netflix.

It's no secret that Netflix is a great way to pass time. Now you won't have to feel bad that it's cutting into your study time.

5. Catch up on all the sleep you lost.

We all definitely need to.

6. Start planning for your next semester.

While it may not be the most intriguing thing, it's a good thing to go ahead and get some of that planning out of the way; whether it's buying textbooks or making some last minute purchases for your dorm.

7. Have fun.

This is a break, so in the midst of all the work you have, don't forget to still have fun!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
