Being home for Christmas break is the best thing in the world...for all of five seconds. Now that everyone is grown up and doing their own thing, Indy can get real old real fast. With a month of free time (for your lucky ones that do not have to work) here's what you should check out in Indy if you get bored.

1. Go to Christmas at the Zoo.

Although it is an expensive evening, Christmas at the Zoo is a pretty sight to see and a must for everyone who lives in the Indy area at least once in your life! Guys, its a perfect holiday date idea for your ladies!

2. Go downtown and see the lights.

The circle at Christmas time is always a go-to activity. If you don't like the lights, at least, you have an Insta-worthy pic.

3. Go on a carriage ride downtown.

Who doesn't love carriage rides?

4. Go see a movie!

This winter actually has an impressive movie line-up. From Sisters, featuring Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, to the new Star Wars, you could absolutely take a few hours out of your day to hit the movies.

5. Go shopping.

For those with expendable money, Keystone Mall is a great place to blow it all. Naturally, you will also see everyone you have known in any past experience here in Indy, as well as everyone you will possibly know at some point in your Indy life; you can get all of your awkward "Oh my goodness hi!! How are you?!?'s" out of the way for the whole year. Score!

6. Go hiking in Brown County.

For those desperate enough to turn to physical activity, go hiking. It's pretty.

7. Start studying for next semester.

Yes. It gets THAT boring sometimes.

8. Go back to school...

Finally.

No, mom and dad, I do not hate you, BUT I am in a hurry to get back to school! I miss my fast paced lifestyle and living with 90 people who are always ready to do whatever with me. So, peace Indy, until next time...
