Winter break for college students is a magical time. After the stress of finals have taken over our lives for a week, it’s nice to leave campus and relax in the comfort of your own home. However, once the holidays are actually over, it’s hard to find new things to do for another two weeks. There’s only so many times you can lay around the house in different spots for hours on end, and getting into that routine is something you don’t want to do. So what do you do then?
