7 Ways To Make Your Christmas Break The Best Time EVER!!

In This Article:

You gotta make the most of these three weeks.

Christmas Movies

During the semester I usually don`t have much time to sit down and concentrate on a movie, so I love to binge movies over break. This means I binge watch Christmas Vacation at least ten times.

Christmas Lights 

My friends and I love to take trips and look at all the elaborate christmas lights, and just enjoy the three weeks we get to make plans since we go to different colleges.

Actual Home Cooked Food

Don`t spend these three weeks at Panda Express or Chick Fil A, spend it at home eating mom`s lasagna because you will be craving a homecooked meal about two weeks into the new semester.

Relax with your family

Going out with friends is fun, but make time to stay home and talk with your family. Your parents missed you probably more than you missed them, so make plenty of time for them.

PETS

SPEND TIME WITH YOUR PETS!!! These little furry creatures are what we miss most when we`re at college, the best way to spend christmas break is with your dog/cat.

Your Bed

Although you have your own bed in your college dorm/apartment, there is truly no bed like the bed at your parents. It`s always more comfortable and you gotta soak it up while you can.

No Responsibilities 

School is stressful, take advantage of these few weeks you have without constantly worrying about deadlines or things you have to do.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
