Although it's a fantastic break from college and there are no tests, for now, Winter Break can get boring!! I'm bored right now and I'm keeping busy. So, here are some of the best ways for college students to be productive, or at least not bored, over the month-long break from school. If you are working over the break that is fantastic, but you can still get bored not having homework or tests to study for. Being home alone is not always like the movie and re-watching Snapchat stories gets pretty boring.

1. Catch up with family.


2. Catch up with old friends.

3. Eat homemade food.


4. Watch all of the television you've missed while at school.

5. Apply for internships for the summer.

6. Apply for scholarships for next year.

7. Hang out with your pets.

They have missed you more than you have missed them and they deserve some love before you leave again.

8. Sleep.

Who doesn't love to sleep?!

9. Make a list of things to bring back to school.

Bored of watching the same television shows over and over again? Plan out the next semester! If you have more 8 a.m. classes than you would like re-look at the scheduling to see if there are other times for the classes and if they have opened up over break. Think about what you will need for the next time you are at school and don't want to buy it there.

10. Exercise.

Start a new routine for the new year and plan some goals or New Years resolutions.

11. Catch up on some fun reading.

Read some classics like Brave New World, or just catch up on the gossip with some magazines.

12. Go see the new Star Wars movie.
