During winter break, it seems like the world is ours — no professors, no classes, no projects, and no assignments. "Free time" is kind of a myth in college, and any free time we do have is likely just us procrastinating other things. Now that we're on break, we actually have some time to relax without that guilt, but what exactly is one to do with all this time?
1. Plan adventures with friends.
It's a perfect opportunity to both visit college friends in their hometowns and see everyone from home.
2. Find a new hobby to love.
OK but honestly, though, it's time to catch up on all the sleep we didn't get during the semester.
3. Make time to binge-watch that show you’ve been waiting to see.
"Stranger Things," "The Office," "Parks and Recreation," "Friends,"and "Arrested Development"are a few good options. You may also gain some valuable life advice along the way, like how important pizza is.
4. Bake a new dessert just for fun every once in awhile.
Just make sure to, you know, read the directions first. Also, who says Christmas cookies can only be made before Christmas?
5. Marathon your favorite movies.
Pick a day, and don't forget the popcorn.
6. Attend a few sporting events.
You know hockey's always better if there's a fight on the ice.
7. Have a snowball fight or build a fort.
It's time to relive some childhood memories because it's time to win.
8. Read a new book or two.
I'm personally excited to have time to finally read Turtles All the Way Down.
9. Go see Pitch Perfect 3 in theaters.
Naturally, you’ll watch the first two right before going to see this.
10. Become your own barista and experiment with coffee creations.
You spent all semester drinking the same coffees left and right, so it may be time to try something new.
You only have so many days of freedom before spring semester, so make sure to make the most of them!
