Winter break is awesome; you get to spend time away from college and relax. Unfortunately, college kids start missing the home away from their actual homes and start begging to go back to school. My winter break is a month and a half long, and I am already starting to feel bored. Here are some things that have been helping me through this boring month and a half.
Catch up on your favorite show
Breaks away from the busy college life mean that you can binge as much as you want. For example, I have been watching an insane amount of "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" since coming home.
Get back into shape
Since the beginning of the semester, the amount of exercise in my life has been lacking. Break is the perfect time to unroll that yoga mat and get back into shape.
Meet up with your hometown friends
Winter break is the perfect time to meet up with your friends that you don't see when you are at college. It's even a good time to just get a cup of coffee and chat with those you aren't really close friends with.
Spend time with your family
Spend as much time with your family as you can before you leave for college again!
Self-care
My winter break has already consisted of face masks and hair dye sessions. Try to take some time during break to relax and treat yourself after a stressful semester.
Get a new hobby
Learning new hobbies is always a good way to pass the time while you are home. Whether it's knitting, painting, or baking, it's always fun to try out some skills that you might not use at college.
Scroll through TikTok
TikTok has always been my go-to app when I'm bored and I just need to mindlessly scroll. It is honestly kind of relaxing, and I love it.
It's nice to spend time at home, but it eventually starts to become boring. While your break might begin to feel like it's going by slowly, you'll be back at college in no time!
