Winter Break Boredom Cures

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

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 

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

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

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) 

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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
