For the first time since maybe kindergarten, college freshman have a break to do no work what so ever! Even if I wanted to be doing homework right now, reading or even studying ahead for the next subject, there's nothing to be done! Were free from school work for practically a month, and have to wait for further instruction to move on. Well, you're probably beginning to get bored of just sleeping all day and running out of money quickly because you've already gone shopping maybe four times and have been eating out every night. Here are some free and entertaining things to do while you're relaxing during this long break.

1. Go outside, play some freezing cold tennis with friends, or maybe just a pickup game of basketball. You can get some of your friends to spend some time with you and enjoy the breezy winter air.

2. Watch some movies! Starwars just came out, Sing has already has a huge audience, and La La Land seems absolutely amazing because, well, Ryan Gosling.

3. If you're not about watching movies in theaters or it's just too crowded for your liking, Freeform has taken over ABC Family's tradition of the 25 Days of Christmas where they show holiday classics for 25 days, and Bravo TV has constantly been streaming fan favorite movies as well for cozy nights in.

4. Decorating or if you're really feeling up to it, even baking a gingerbread house!

5. Learn new recipes. If we're being honest, I'm not much of a chef, but with all of this free time, I've learned how to make home made recipes and tested a few of my own. Cooking for yourself means it's okay if you burn things and it's basically an experiment.

6. Reading! Not only do I burn and eat a lot of food, I love reading about food. I got into Food Whore by Jessica Tom and it's pretty engaging, for food bloggers and lovers especially.

7. Making your New Years Resolutions. I know you all have them, whether you decide to post them on your wall for everyone to see like every parent ever, or you decide to keep a mental note of them, it's a great way to keep a positive outlook on your future.

8. Online shopping for those post-holiday sales! Nothing's better than sitting all comfy in your bed with a cup of coffee and clicking for a new wardrobe for the New Year.

9. Get a haircut. New Year new you right? Treat yourself!

10. Speaking of treating yourself... Spas are AMAZING! It's time to relax and sit back, and what better way than facials and massages?

Hopefully I helped your cabin fever for those days where you just feel like the there's so much going on around you, but just nothing exciting happening for you.

P.S. Discount candy canes taste just as good they did before Christmas...
