It’s time for the holidays…Christmas is right around the corner and Hanukkah is winding down. You have been home from Miami for a little over a week now, and I bet you are already getting excited about being heading back to school. However, you still have five weeks and don’t know what to do with yourself. Well, here are some ideas about how to make the rest of your winter break exciting and memorable.
5. Find a favorite coffee shop.
Even if you don’t like coffee this is a great way to spend your time over break. Find your favorite coffee shop around town to do work in or just to hang out in with some friends. You can then discover your new favorite drink at your new favorite shop. I highly recommend this activity to anyone who can’t figure out what to do for the next couple of weeks.
4. DIY all the time.
This can refer to many things, but I always think crafting. Maybe you are in a sorority and need to craft for your little. Maybe you just love art projects and want to make something new for your room. Either way this is a great pastime and the reward at the end feels great.
3. Experiment in the kitchen.
I know I love to cook, but that doesn’t mean I have time to make anything complicated or very exciting when I’m at school. Now is the perfect time to try out a new recipe. Whether it turns out great or horribly you will still have fun making it and you will no longer have to wonder what that specific recipe would taste like.
2. Go to museums.
Go to that museum that you’ve always wanted to go to but never had time. See what it’s all about…it can’t hurt!
1. Consider redecorating.
My room at home has been the same since I was in fifth grade. I am finally getting around to redoing it during this break. This is a great time to mix things up. Maybe paint your room a different color or get a new bedspread. Shake things up a little bit!
Six weeks is a long break, nobody is denying that, but there are plenty of things you can do to make your break different from previous ones. Consider some of the ideas above, and have a fun and restful break!
