If you're a college student, you're most likely back home for the blessed month-long winter break from school. If you find yourself feeling bored, or aimless with all this free time, here are a few things that will keep you busy.
1. Hang out with high school friends
Chances are you haven’t seen your old friends since Thanksgiving, or perhaps even the summer. Find time over break to hang out with them again! Even if you’re working or they’re working, clear out your schedule a bit and catch up.
2. Clean out your room
If you’re back at your parent’s house, it’s time to clean out that room. There’s no need to display your tee-ball trophies or your varsity soccer award. Pack up those stuffed animals into a box. Donate the clothes you don’t wear but are still needlessly holding on to. Getting rid of your old stuff actually feels pretty good.
3. Chill
That speaks for itself.
4. Travel
Take a car trip over to your grandparents' house! Go gambling in Las Vegas, or go skiing or hit up Disney World in Florida if you can.
Even if you’re just visiting a friend from school who lives an hour away, it’s fun to get out of the house and go somewhere new. This is your month to go where you cannot go during the school year.
5. Stuff you put off during the school semester
Update your resume. Finish the book you started reading in September. Visit the dentist for your biannual check-up. Basically, this is the time to do every annoying or time-consuming thing that you gleefully put off during the semester because you were “busy with school.”
Oh well, now you’re not.
