If your relatives are driving you crazy, or if you're just feeling more than a little bored over break, here's a list of things to do over break to keep yourself sane.

1. Reconnect with old friends

If you're still on speaking terms with your friends from high school, use this time to get to know what they've been up to!

2. Sleep in

I had an 8:30 class on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays this semester and cannot wait to sleep in.

3. Get a head start on your resolutions

New Years is almost here and you can actively try to live your best life until then. I personally am not going to do this because it's cold outside and I want to be lazy, but if you want to be healthy then go right ahead.

4. Learn how to cook (or just try a new recipe)

As someone who likes to pretend to be an adult sometimes, nothing makes me feel like I'm doing it well than cooking. And if it ends up being a bit of a failure and what you tried to cook ends up on fire, at least you get a good story out of it.

5. Make snow angels

If your area has snow, please utilize it because no one is ever too old for snow angels.

6. Read a book or seventeen

If you don't want to be completely out of the habit of reading by the time you return to school, just read one book over break and you'll feel very ~educated~ because you're reading when no one is making you.

7. Completely rearrange your room

This is a fun way to waste a lot of time and still feel productive. I like this one because I found approximately thirty pencils hidden around my bed and now I don't have to buy new ones for next semester.

8. Relax

I know this is a very generic command, but next semester things are going to get a lot very stressful again, and winter break is a great time to just be yourself without any expectations.
