Winter break is one of the most exciting breaks of the school year, but after a few days it might become hard to not be bored for the next two and a half weeks. All your college friends are back home, so all you can result to is sleeping all day. Here are a few things to do over this break to keep you occupied.

Watch holiday movies with family

Being away at college means being away from your family. Winter break is the perfect time to catch up on the last few months while watching all the beloved Christmas movies.

Winter is the best time to stay in and hibernate while eating an assortment of foods. What's a better distraction than running off all over that winter weight?

Reading

College is always so time consuming that it makes it hard to be able to sit down and read something that isn't a textbook. Winter break is the perfect time for this. There's nothing better than being bundled up around a warm fire, drinking hot cocoa, and reading a good book.

Binge-watching your favorite TV shows

Netflix and Hulu are full of your favorite TV shows, including the holiday specials. When there's too much snow outside to go anywhere just sit back and relax for a few hours in front of your flat screen.

Go see Christmas lights

It's the most wonderful time of the year when different parks put up their annual Christmas lights. To get into the holiday spirit, go drive around and look at all of the different lights you've been waiting a whole year to see again.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
