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.

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.
