Finals are almost over! You can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel from the dark hole of crying, no sleep and studying into oblivion. You will finally be able to relax and be bored for once, but being bored can also be boring when you're stuck at your parent's houses without your college buddies. Here are a few ways to spend your new-found time while you're at home for winter break.
1. Start a new show to binge on Netflix or Hulu
GiphyRemember the time when everyone was talking about that cool new show on Netflix and you couldn't watch it since you were drowning in work so you had to add it to the list of shows you want to watch? You can finally whip that sucker out and binge a new show without feeling bad.
2. Have a mini reunion with your high school friends
GiphyYou didn't stop talking to them for a reason; it's just that college and life happened. Go ahead and call up (or text, whichever floats your boat) a few of your friends from the Class of 2000-whenever-you-graduated, because they're probably bored out of their minds as well.
3. Be a tourist in your own home town
GiphyIf you live in a big city, this is super easy to do because I'm sure you haven't done EVERYTHING there is to do in your hometown. Grab your family or friends and be the tacky tourists you've grown to hate.
4. WorkÂ
GiphyI'm not just talking about singing Rihanna's hit single. The holidays are fastly approaching and since you've been too busy stressing over homework and tests, you're broke! If you're still in contact with a former boss, hit him/her up and ask to pick up a few shifts!
6. WorkoutÂ
GiphyIf a friend from home has a gym membership and they can bring people with them, ask to be their gym buddy for a few weeks!
7. Update your resume
GiphyAs a college student, always make sure that you're resume is up to date, because you never know when the opportunity comes along when you may need it!
8. Search for a job/internship
GiphySince you've already updated your resume, you can start looking for jobs or applying to summer internships! College seniors, the time to start applying for full-time jobs after graduation is NOW! So make sure those resumes, cover letters, and portfolios are in tip-top shape!
9. Have a bonfireÂ
GiphyRemember all those notes you had to take? Remember the textbooks that you bought from the school bookstore and can't resell them back? Let them be the fuel to this fire. BURN IT ALL!
10. Start learning a new language
GiphyDo you want to feel cultured and want to learn a new language? Now is the time!
12. Treat yo self!
GiphyIt's been a long semester. Get together with your mom and treat yourselves to a nice spa day because honey, you deserve it.
13. Drive around town and look at Christmas decorations
GiphyIt's the most wonderful time of the year! Go out and enjoy the pretty lights your community has put up!
15. Volunteer
GiphyIt's always a good thing to give back to your community, and it's the best time to do that when you don't have anything else going on.
16. Re-organize your playlists
GiphyKick out all those songs that you skip every time and add the new hits you can't stop listening to!
17. Donate to charity
GiphyWhether it's just putting your spare change in a Salvation Army bucket or donating lightly worn clothes and blankets to a homeless shelter, the holidays are for giving even to those who are less fortunate than others. Make sure that everyone has a happy holiday season!
18. Do some online shopping that doesn't harm your bank account
GiphySince you probably got some money for Christmas from your family, you can get yourself a little Christmas gift that you may have forgotten to tell someone else to get for you.
19. Bake!Â
GiphyThat recipe you pinned on Pinterest four months ago is calling your name! Go find it and make Martha Stewart proud!
20. Watch Christmas movies
GiphyCurl up on the couch with your significant other, your BFFs, your parents, or your pets and have a Christmas movie marathon!
Now you'll never feel bored during your Winter Break! Happy Holidays everyone!
