With the semester wrapping up, students everywhere are looking forward to winter break. Whether it's the Christmas holiday or a family vacation, it's a time for everyone to take a break from classes and unwind a bit. Here are some things I'm looking forward to this winter break.
Christmas
The Christmas season is one of my favorite times of the year. I love going out to pick the Christmas tree and decorate it. It's not about the presents, but rather about the joy and time spent with family.
No Homework
Really, I think every student is excited for the late nights, countless assignments, and hours upon hours of studying.
Seeing Friends
I haven't seen my friends from home since Thanksgiving break, and before then August. It's nice to have a solid month to be able to see them multiple times.
Spending Time With Family
Not just on Christmas, but over the course of the entire break. Whether it's my mom & brother's birthday, seeing my cousin who goes to school in Nashville, or going to see my brother play varsity basketball for the first time, this break gives me the opportunity to see them often.
Being Able To Sleep In My Own Bed
The small, uncomfortable twin-sized bed here at school gets old real quick.
Not Having To Spend Money On Groceries
For one whole month, I'll just have my parents get some stuff I may need. At least I'll be able to keep my bank account in the positives.
