Break is a great time to catch up with family, meet up with friends and do everything else that we never have time to do.

However, there are always those moments over break when we are just sitting in our bed for an hour going through our phone. Totally acceptable; we all do it. However, wouldn't it be nice to have some easy ideas for what to do when those boredom pains strike?

Hopefully something from the following list will help make one of your days even slightly more memorable.

1. Movie marathon with friends

Yes, it is a given, but totally still fun. Think about all of the Christmas movies that are out now and if those aren’t your thing, you can never go wrong with a Lifetime movie. Cozy up with hot chocolate, blankets and all the snacks that you can imagine and just have a chill night.

2. Ski/Snowboarding trip

For when you want to be more adventurous during the winter season. Personally, I get a certain thrill unlike any other from speedily gliding down the mountains in my skis and I think that it is something that everyone should definitely try.

3. Find a random recipe and try to make it

If you are in college and never have the opportunity to make your own meals and are stuck with the less-than-glamorous cafeteria food, you should give it a try. Now is the chance to see what you are able to do. Most recipes are online and give detailed instructions, and even if it doesn’t turn out right, I bet that you will have some funny memories from the endeavor, alone.

4. Volunteer

There is so much to be thankful for even when we might forget. By volunteering, it is just a small way of giving back to the community. It is a wonderful way to spend break and feel as if you're doing something to make the world a little better.

5. Treat your parents to breakfast

My parents are the best and I am so blessed to have them. However, I don’t think that I show them how appreciative I am often enough, and I am sure that I am not the only person guilty of that. Therefore, something as small as taking your parents to breakfast or even cooking it for them will for sure make their hearts oh-so-happy.
