Dear winter break,

You’ve been good to me, friend. But soon we have to say our goodbyes.

It was nice to have a month off from school to relax and enjoy time with my family and friends that I don’t get to see that often. Staying up late, sleeping in and binge watching my favorite Netflix series -- maybe even completing a whole series (oops). Working a little for some extra spending money but not too much to be exhausted.

Thank you for allowing me to create new memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you for incorporating Christmas and New Year’s into this period of relaxation. Thank you for being nonjudgmental when I started my New Year’s resolutions and quit after a week. Most of all, thanks for being my “get away” for the past month. Sometimes we all just need a break AKA, you.

Although the end of breaks are never fun, I’m ready to go back to school. I can’t wait to see my roommate and my best friends that live across the hall. I’m ready for the nights to go out with my girlfriends and get wild. I’m ready for the extra independence I’ll have as soon as I step off the plane. Although I’m not excited for my early morning classes or staying up until 2am studying; it’s all part of the game and I couldn’t be more thankful that I have this opportunity in the first place.

That being said, it’s time for me to go. To say goodbye to my friends and family at the airport where the plane to take me 600 miles away waits for me to board. Goodbyes are hard. But then again, it’s just a “see you later” type of deal. I’ll see my friends and family over summer, and you in December, It’s been real, thanks for the memories, Winter Break, I’ll never forget it. See you soon.

Love,

One Of Your Many Fans
