50 Things To Do Over Winter Break
House Call MD

This winter break, I decided to spend the month of January working at my on-campus job. I'm happy to be here because I love being at school and I only work in the summers at my job at home. However, sitting at an information desk at an empty student union is extremely boring. It’s especially boring when my coworker is being hella productive and not entertaining me. I’m sure I’m not the only student feeling this way over winter break. That being said, I’ve compiled a list of 50  things one can do to keep from dying of boredom.  

 

1. Exercise

  New year, new me, right?

2. Netflix Binge


3. Finally Sleep In

Because you literally have no school work to do and little responsibilities.

4. Learn to Cook

 

5. Apply to Graduate School

  That's what I'll be doing

6. Spend Time with Family

7. Bake

 

8. Read a Book

   I personally have about ten books that I've been planning to read for like 2 years now.

9. Play in the Snow


10. Hang Out With High School Friends

Unless you lost touch with them.

Instead, you can...

11. ...Visit Your College Friends

 

12. Search for Jobs

  Since graduation is right around the corner.

 

13. Bar Hopping and Pub Crawls

 

14. Clean Out Your Closet

 

15. Shop For New Clothes Since You Just Threw Out Old Ones

  

16. Work

  Even if it is boring.

17. Take a Road Trip

 

18. See a Broadway Show

  They're pretty legit.

19. Plan Spring Break

 

20. Pick Up a New Hobby

 

21. Go to a Concert

  And if you're not into concerts...

22. Go to a Museum

 

23. Have a Spa Day

24. Watch All the Movies That you Didn't Have Time to Watch

  So many new ones just came out!

25. Play Board Games


 

26. Snapchat... a lot

27. Organize Your Planner

 

28. Take a Bubble Bath

 

29. Go Ice Skating

  But, be careful.

30. Visit a Theme Park

31. Search for Housing for the Next School Year


 

Because we all know that is impossible to find in West Chester.

32. Travel


Then...

33. ...Make a Scrapbook of your Travels

 

Or not...

34. Volunteer

  But, not as tribute. Maybe at a soup kitchen.

 

35. Update your résumé

 

36. Go Wine Tasting

I went with my parents and their 30 year-old friends!! #lit

37. Craft

 

38. Learn a New Instrument

No Patrick, mayonnaise is not an instrument.

Or you can...

39. ...Brush Up on One You Haven't Played in a while

So you can learn tricks like this.

 

40. Get Experience by Interning Somewhere

  41. Throw a Party

 

42. Redecorate your Room

 

43. Clean

44. Finally Print Those Pictures From Last Year

 

45. Journal

 

46. Go Skiing or Snowboarding or Tubing

  

47. Learn to Knit

 

48. Go Bowling

 

49. Babysit

50. Make a Countdown For When Break End

Because I know I'm not the only one extremely bored this break.


You're welcome.

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

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
