After getting through finals week, you're either completely relieved or even more stressed out depending on whether you passed or failed your classes. Hopefully, like me, you passed and can now enjoy a long, worthy, and much needed break. So, if you need things to do, this article is for you. Now that you finally get a break from college, here are some things to help you survive Christmas break.

1. Go skiing/snowboarding/tubing

Ah! One of my favorite things to do during the winter season. Go skiing, snowboarding, or even tubing. It's a great experience and is always fun.

2. Watch movies

Watching movies never gets old. Put your favorite movie in and stay in bed all day.

3. Listen to music

When you're bored and feel like singing/dancing your heart out, put on music and do it like no one's watching.

4. Read a book

Need something quiet and relaxing to do? Pick up a book an start reading it.

5. Bake

Yum! Who doesn't love baking? Look up the ingredients to your favorite cookie recipe and bake away. My favorite is using my grandma's secret recipe's.

6. Go shopping

Yes! It's Christmas shopping time! Go on a road trip to the mall with your friends and spend the money you worked hard for (hopefully.)

7. Hangout with family and friends

Don't forget about your family and friends over break. Spend quality time with them. Put effort into seeing them.

8. Sleep

One of our favorite things to do-sleep. Sleep as much as you can. I know how draining school can be. Take time to yourself and sleep. Plus, it's good for you.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo
