In This Article:

Many of us are at the point of winter break where we question what the break is meant to be and what there is to do. For many of us, it is too cold to leave the house and the thought of bundling up is just too much work. So why not try some of these ideas down below?

1. Watch Parks And Recreation

Or just any show really, but with the student deal Spotify has with Hulu for just $4.99 a month, you should start binge watching now since you have nothing else to do. You complain all semester you have no time to watch a show, well, now you do so get your butt glued to the couch.

2. Plan Your Spring Break Trip

Giphy

Why not spend your current break to plan your next break? Have you even figured out where to go? With who? To do what? If you answered no to all these then what exactly are you doing? Lay out those blueprints right now!

3. Read Michelle Obama's Book "Becoming"

Honestly you can read any book but let us be real here, Michelle's book is a must right now. I personally love it so much and I haven't even finished it yet. Join the cult of people posting their new book on their Snapchat and Instagram stories.

4. Learn A New Recipe 

Giphy

Why not try cooking something new? There are millions of recipes online for you to find. Try to not burn the kitchen down and cook something yummy (or burnt).

5. Get A Crayola Adult Coloring Kit 

Giphy

My Secret Santa gave me one this year and I love it so much. It is relaxing and a good way to wind down with some music. You can find lots of packs on Amazon for a pretty good price. It is definitely something everyone should buy.

6. Start A Budgeting Plan For The New Year

Giphy

We all love money, we all just need to know how to save it. Start a budget plan for the new year and set a goal amount of money you would like to have at the end of the year. It is definitely a satisfaction having all that money saved at the end of the year.

7. Start Researching Workout Plans (And Stick To Them) 

Giphy

Going to the gym for a month is not enough, so let us try to go all year and see some progress with our health.

Bailey Totten

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year.

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
