The fall semester has came to end and everyone is thrilled that finals are over. The start of winter break is like a load has been lifted off your shoulders. Everyone rushes home to be able to relax, see their family, and especially have a home cooked meal. After the first day or so however most students will ask themselves "now what." Here is a list of things to put on your bucket list this winter break.
1. Sleep
Finals week means no sleep and your bed at home is always the best. Therefore, it's the perfect excuse to be lazy for a little while and catch up on some sleep.
2. Binge watch Christmas movies.
Winter break is a perfect time to watch all your favorite holiday classics.
3. Bake Christmas cookies.
Because who doesn't love cookies?
4. Reunite with old friends.
It can be difficult to see your best friends from home when you leave for college. Everyone is on different schedules and at different schools. Winter break is the perfect time to get together, catch up, and hangout like old times.
5. Make some money.
It's a perfect amount of time to become a not as broke college student.
6. Spread holiday cheer.
Either by volunteering, simply buying a stranger a coffee, or jut leaving little notes on cars. Spread happiness and holiday cheer to not only your friends and family, but your community. It is the little things that can make someone day brighter.
7. Exercise
What better time to get back into shape. Never to early to prepare for spring break right?
8. Go sled-riding
If winter ever appears sled-riding is a great outdoors activity. Don't fool yourself you can never be to old.
9. Spend time with your family
The holiday's are meant to be spent with family. Take the time to see your family members and do some of these winter activities with them. They've missed you just as much as you've missed them.
10. Travel anywhere
It's a perfect time to take a trip either a day trip to somewhere you have never been, or a trip across the country for a week. Take the time to expand your horizons. (weather permitting of course.)
11. Read a book
Finally, some time for leisure reading instead of those dreaded textbooks.
