7 Survival Tips For Christmas Break
Luis Llerena

After getting through finals week, you're either completely relieved or even more stressed out depending on whether you passed or failed your classes. Hopefully, like me, you passed and can now enjoy a long, worthy, and much needed break. So, if you need things to do, this article is for you. Now that you finally get a break from college, here are some things to help you survive Christmas break.

1. Go skiing/snowboarding/tubing

Ah! One of my favorite things to do during the winter season. Go skiing, snowboarding, or even tubing. It's a great experience and is always fun.

2. Watch movies

Watching movies never gets old. Put your favorite movie in and stay in bed all day.

3. Listen to music

When you're bored and feel like singing/dancing your heart out, put on music and do it like no one's watching.

4. Read a book

Need something quiet and relaxing to do? Pick up a book an start reading it.

5. Bake

Yum! Who doesn't love baking? Look up the ingredients to your favorite cookie recipe and bake away. My favorite is using my grandma's secret recipe's.

6. Go shopping

Yes! It's Christmas shopping time! Go on a road trip to the mall with your friends and spend the money you worked hard for (hopefully.)

7. Hangout with family and friends

Don't forget about your family and friends over break. Spend quality time with them. Put effort into seeing them.

8. Sleep

One of our favorite things to do-sleep. Sleep as much as you can. I know how draining school can be. Take time to yourself and sleep. Plus, it's good for you.

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.

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.

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.
