I believe for myself and everyone else we may have done some things during our winter break that we regret, or we told ourselves that we were going to do certain things and never did them. Either way, as we look back on our break we can reflect on things we wish we would have done or not done at all…

1. I slept the days away

I would stay up until 5 am and wake up at 3 pm. Anywhere and anytime I slept. I slept in the morning, afternoon and night. On the couch, on my bed, on the floor and sitting up.

2. I didn’t spend a lot of time with friends

Due to me sleeping my days away I didn’t get the chance to see my high school friends that much. I only hung out with one once and it was only for a couple hours. I wish I spent more time with them when I had the chance.

3. I didn’t drive that much

One thing I miss the most while I’m at school is being able to just take a drive. The only time I got in my car was to drive to get food. Other than that I didn’t do much driving.

4. I spent all my Christmas money

Those after Christmas sales really killed me. Just walking past all my favorite stores and seeing the 50% off, 70% off and buy one, get one sales, I spent all my Christmas money in the first week. Will I regret it when I get back to school? Probably.

5. Food, leaving it at that

The thing I was most excited about when coming home was no dining hall food. Throughout all of winter break, I really did not have many home cooked meals. I ate out a lot more than expected, but at least it was better than campus food.

6. Not soaking up my pet enough

I miss having a pet at school. Refer back to number one: I really didn’t come out of my room much. So the only time that I saw my pets were if I went downstairs for food.
