Dear Winter Break,

I am so ready for you! It has been a long and stressful semester for many of us college students. College can be fun, but the stress at the end of this semester is taking over and I cannot wait to have a break from this ongoing responsibility of a full time college student. There are so many reasons I need you to get here as soon as possible. The only thing keeping us apart is the dreaded finals.

I miss my friends. I have met so many new people at school, but I'm ready to spend time with my 'day one' friends from home.

I just want to snuggle with my dog. I can't wait to give my pup kisses and love her to make up for all the time I have been away.

I want real food. I'm sick of having couscous and veggies every night, I'm ready for my parents home cooked meals.

I need to ski. I can't wait to ski most of my winter break! I want to try to visit a few other mountains while I'm home.

I need to work. I need to make some money $$$$ End of the semester means this college girl is ballin' on a budget.

I miss my family. I just adore my family.

The holidays. There is no place like home. I can't wait to wake up on Christmas day and see the beautiful tree in our living room, lit up and decorated with our favorite ornaments. Christmas music playing throughout the house, cozy fires, and Christmas movies.

Moral of this article, I am so ready to be home for over a month. I could go on and on with what I am most excited about but there are too many things. Happy Holidays, everyone!
