Do something well or not at all. Don't feel like you have to finish something if you can't.

With final exams coming to an end, winter break is finally upon us. This past week has been stressful for everyone, which is why I feel it's time to talk about something super important.

If this week has worn you out and you're worried you don't have any more effort to give, that is perfectly fine. It happens to the best of us. So you're not feeling the whole college thing anymore? Don't worry about it. If you're really dreading returning next semester, don't stress! Plenty of people feel that way. There's no sense in wasting your time, money and happiness on something that you can't give your all.

The only person who has a say in what you do with your future is you. If you're taking out loans for school in your name, there's no way anyone should be able to force you to continue with something that you're struggling with. Worry only about what you think you might want to do, and spend your life working towards that goal.

As cheesy as it sounds, you've gotta follow your heart and do what you wanna do. If you think taking the next semester off will help you to get back in the groove, go for it! You might come to your senses, and be ready to roll and do the best you've ever done! If you think you need the next year off, take all the time you need! If you just don't wanna go back at all, don't!

No one can tell you that you can't take a break.

Sometimes, they're necessary to help us thrive. All work and no play doesn't end well. So what do you do when you're on your much needed break? Whatever you want! Make some art, read a lot of books, record some music, play sports and games you love.

Spend time with your family and friends, go to concerts, work until you've built up a nice amount of money. Go on hikes and adventures, cook and bake your favorite recipes, travel around the country or state, learn something new.

The possibilities are endless! It's just all up to you to decide how you spend your time.

Just remember that you're in charge of your life. Don't let others drag you down, and most importantly, know your limits. Don't wear yourself out and be cautious of your health. You've got a whole list of amazing things to do.
