5 Reasons Why Winter Break Is The Best For College Kids
St. Lawrence Elementray

Most of the time, break is one of those days you can find time for yourself or even to hang out with others. In my case, I've had plenty of time to hang out with old friends and even newer ones. I get to see how many people are growing as I'm off and away from my old everyday life. But there are some things that I love about break and here are just a few things:

1. Sleeping In

If you're in college dorms like myself, you may not get that great of sleep because of the endless noises happening around. So as soon as a college kid like myself gets to go home, you get your own bed and sleep soundly or even stay up late and not regret it the next day. Sleeping in is the best, I could marry my bed at home.

2. Binge Watching Shows

I love catching up on shows that I started over Thanksgiving break but also Winter break is wonderful. Staying up late munching on some random food while binge watching Breaking Bad or Fuller House keeps me fulfilled while I'm at college and don't have time because of homework. Netflix is my drug, hey, at least it's better than some other hardcore drug?

3. FREE FOOD

When I have came home over break, all I can think about is how I don't have to eat the same old campus food over and over again. I can finally eat a home cooked meal and enjoy it. I don't even have to buy my own food, I get to enjoy Christmas cookies and get fat off of them. For any college student as we come back from our schools, we get to eat all the free food forever.

4. Seeing Friends & Family

While college kids like myself, love the new friends and college friends we've made we enjoy time with the family we don't see all that often that anymore. Hanging out with them, catching up, and just talking about everything we have going on in our lives. Family time is also the best about break because you get to see the people that love you unconditionally and tell them how school is going but more importantly being able to see them

5. Fewer Responsibilities

While I still have to worry about the text books I need to order or even other adult like things, I don't have to worry about homework which makes it nicer and easier before the next semester to start. Relaxing is something that could be very important to stressed out college student to not even worry about other things and take things little by little.


Those are five reasons why I love break, because it is the best break that any college kid can have and not worry about things and just enjoy it while we can until our last semester comes to close for us.

Enjoy the break, ya college kiddos!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
