Christmas Break Bucket List

As students everywhere are coming home for Christmas break there are places to be and people to see. As much as every college student would love to take a week long nap to compensate for the lack of sleep during dead and finals week, we only have three weeks to make the most of break. Going into break it’s good to have a game plan of everything you want to do.

1. Celebrate Christmas with family

Be sure to partake in all family traditions like a live Nativity scene! ( okay we only did this once, but it made for a great photo!

2. Bake all your holiday favorites!

Pull out your apron and whip out those cookies!

3. See the best Christmas lights in your city

Downtown Omaha never disappoints

4. Go to Church

Ugly sweaters anyone?!

7. Ring in the new year

8. Go to SEEK

Aka an amazing conference put on by FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students)

9. Go Ice skating

Try not to fall!

10. Order books online for next semester (Not fun, but it beats paying for bookstore prices)

11. Catch up on your reading list

Try to make a dent in the stack of books

12. Relax and enjoy the break!

Have a Merry Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and a Happy New Year!

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time.
