Are you not quite ready to say bye to the warmth and fun of the holiday season? Perhaps you don't want to go back to the same busy school-filled life that you left behind over break? If that's the case, then here are some ways you can make the most of your semester during this cold winter.

1. Do more outside than walk to class


Don't just shovel-- make a snow angel, build a snowman, or even go sledding with friends.

2. Make hot chocolate

There's no better way to end the school day than with a steaming cup of hot chocolate.

3. Hang Christmas lights

The soft, warm glow of string lights will help keep the Christmas spirit alive and create the perfect winter atmosphere for your dorm room.

4. Wear cute winter hats and gloves

Winter fashion isn't for everyone, but soft mittens and a warm hat are hard to turn down.

5. Put on fuzzy socks

They're a cliché necessity, but a necessity nonetheless.

6. Use cozy blankets

Crack open your textbook to get your studying done, but do so with the help of a soft blanket to keep you warm.

7. Drink tea


Caffeinated or not, there's a flavor of tea for everybody.

8. Watch a movie

Yes, school means that you won't have much free time. You should still find time to relax, though!

9. Read for fun

Don't let textbook reading assignments take over your life-- read something on your own to challenge yourself and have fun.

10. Stay by a fire


Whether that be a bonfire or a fireplace, spends some time with friends huddled together around the heat.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
