4 Things To Enjoy Guilt Free During Christmas Break

We all have things we love to do to relax and have some fun. However, when the school year is in full swing these things can't be enjoyed because of the daunting feeling of procrastination looming over a tired college kids head. However, throw that out the window because it's Christmas break! Ready, set, relax!

Enjoy these things in any order and capacity that you please

1. Take a 3-hour bubble bath girl!



Lock that bathroom door, light that candle, clean out your local Lush store inventory. There is no assignment calling your name. Tell everyone that until further notice you will be eyeball deep in cashmere bath bubbles. No Shame.

2. Put your cooking and baking Pinterest pins to use



It's December and your list of adult obligations have dwindled down, take advantage. We all know we have grown our Pinterest boards over the course of the year. There are so many recipes that are untouched. So many wondrous cookies, drinks, and dinners that have yet to be made and eaten. What are you waiting for, get in that kitchen Betty-Crocker.

3. There Are So Many Books Worth Reading And Cold Afternoons Meant To Be Spent All Warm And Cozy


Most of us don't read much due to time constraints, lack of motivation or filling the back with any other issue. However, reading can be fun, relaxing and informational. Need a good place to start? "Girl Wash Your Face" by Rachel Hollis is a great place to begin. She'll make you laugh and She'll make you think. I can guarantee you'll find a love for reading because of her.

4. Binge Watch Netflix To Your Hearts Desire



A soft blanket and a dark room are calling your name. Never finished the show you started last summer? NO problem at all; here is your opportunity. Want to fully watch one two or even three shows before the new year, go for it. There is no looming syllabus to stop you.

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.

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?
