You have survived the fall semester. Your finals are either slowly approaching or just finishing; either way, you made it. Congratulations! Winter break is on its way and you can finally relax. Here's a list of ten things to look forward to this winter break.
1. Not having any school work:
Thanksgiving break was such a tease. Odds are you had a paper due the day after you got back. Winter break means zero schoolwork. Five weeks of absolutely nothing. It's finally over.
2. Not setting an alarm:
It's the most exciting feeling. when you no longer have to wake up for your class at 8:45 a.m. This break, I refuse to be up before 11 a.m.
3. Sleeping in your own bed:
Whoever told you that mattress pads would make your school bed feel like your home bed is just not an honest person. Absolutely nothing compares.
4. Actual showers:
We all know dorm showers are not actual showers. Ah, finally, some room to shave your legs in peace.
5. Real food:
I’m pretty sure we were all over dining hall food the second week of September. Hello home cooked meals.
6. Winter sales:
If you think the deals stop after Black Friday, you are completely mistaken! December is the month of last minute flash sales. Buying all of your Christmas gifts with enough money left to spoil yourself? What could be better?
7. Seeing your friends:
When you go away for school, you realize just how much you love your friends from home. Nothing is better than reuniting for five weeks.
8. Being with your pets:
All the cuddles! The best feeling is being attacked with love from your precious animals
9. Seeing your family:
No matter how far you go away for school and how independent you becomes, spending time with your family rocks. You'll always have a million things you want to do with them.10. The holidays:
CHRISTMAS. HANNUKKAH. KWANZA. NEW YEARS. Whatever you celebrate, it’s always the best time of the year.
Eat, sleep, and be merry this winter break. Enjoy your next five weeks of absolutely nothing; we all know you deserve it!
