Finals are finally over, which means everyone is spending some time with family before the start of the spring semester. If you’re not going on vacation or something of equal excitement, chances are you’re going to be bored within a week. Being at school is a lot of work, but at least you’re busy a majority of the time.

If you’re not working over the vacation, you might end up searching for something to do. So, here are some fun things that will keep you occupied while you’re at home this vacation!

Watch Netflix

This one is a bit obvious, and it’s probably your go to already.

If this is something you do often, try switching up the genre of movie or show. Here are some suggestions:

a) If you’re looking for an older show: "Friends" or "Gilmore Girls"

b) If you want something new to binge and happen to enjoy superheroes: "Daredevil" or "Arrow"

c) If you’re looking for a fun children’s movie: "The Little Rascals" or "Zootopia"

d) If you like a drama mystery: "The Uninvited" or "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy"

Something different you might like to try…

Reread your favorite children’s books

Some popular ones are:

"A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket" by Daniel Handler

"Charlotte’s Web" by E.B. White

"Holes" by Louis Sachar

"Bridge to Terabithia" by Katherine Paterson

"The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" by C.S. Lewis

You might like to catch up with some old friends from high school!

Go out to eat. (Who doesn’t love food?)

Window shop at the mall. (We are, after all, poor college kids).

Have a sleepover. (Go back to your high school days!)

There are, of course, many other things you might like to try!

You could bake with your siblings, or cousins if you don’t have any.

If you like to cook, cook for your family a few times. Your mom will definitely appreciate it!

Try moving around your childhood room. It probably could use a little makeover.

Visit your old school. Your teachers will be overjoyed to see how much you’ve grown.

Winter break can be a lot of fun, and you may just have to get away from Netflix for a little while and try something different!
