10 Things College Students Do When They Get Home For Winter Break
The Odyssey Online

Going home for winter break and not having to worry about school for a few weeks is the one thing that keeps you sane during finals week.

The prospect of having some time to be lazy and not have responsibilities is both comforting and exciting. Every college kid knows what this hope feels like - and every college kid has one thing in mind that they cannot wait to do the second they get home. Here are the top 10 things college kids are planning to do the second they get home.


1. Play with your dog

Let's be honest... no one is more excited for you to be home than your dog.

2. Spend time with your family

Don't deny it, you missed them too.

3. Cry tears of joy

The excitement of being home can be quite overwhelming

4. Collapse on your bed

Dorm beds just don't cut it anymore

5. Eat a home-cooked meal

Mom's cooking > Caf pizza

6. Take a bubble bath

Lush bath bombs anyone?

7. Binge-watch mindless T.V. shows

Because now you can blow 12 hours of your day on nothing and not feel guilty

8. Bake chocolate chip cookies

There is something oddly comforting about the smell of chocolate chip cookies

9. Unpack your car but leave everything in your living room and never actually put anything away

It is just not worth it to really unpack when you can just leave all your stuff scattered around the house

10. Burn your old homework

Don't deny it; you want to light those calculus assignments on fire and watch them burn. Just the thought of looking at them anymore makes you cringe

After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.

Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
