It's pretty much agreed upon that being at college is more fun than being at home, so it only follows that the same holds true over winter break. Only a few more months until it can be true for Spring break!
1. It can be a month long.
In high school you were lucky to get two weeks off. Now, many college students can get up to a month or often at least two weeks off from school to do nothing. It is even a long enough time to get a part-time job so you can go back to campus with some cash in your pocket. Cha-ching!
2. No homework (but actually).
When classes are run on a semester-by-semester basis, your second semester professors literally cannot assign you homework because they haven’t even met you. Read some books, binge on some Netflix shows, and just generally enjoy the feeling of having nothing to do. Once the semester rolls around, that sadly will no longer be the case. Anyway, score!
3. You get to catch up with friends and family.
Even if you got on each others’ nerves at the end of the summer, months apart during the first semester make you glad to see your family and hometown friends. It ends up not being a problem that you did not keep in touch over the semester, because now you have more to talk about!
