5 Things To Do During Winter Break
Brigitte Tohm

At long last, finals are over. No more term papers, assignments, group projects, or exams, instead just the glorious freedom and possibilities for winter break. Of course, everything has to end so you better plan out your must-do activities accordingly. Here are five things to do during winter break.

1. Sleep

Let's face it: you deserve it. Not to mention, you've probably deprived yourself of a good night's sleep. So enjoy those extra z's while you can!

2. Eat Healthier

After all those study sessions chugging coffee, sipping energy drinks and eating chips, it's time to eat better. Take the time to cook or go searching for a home- cooked meal. Your New Year's resolution might thank you for avoiding take-out.

3. Catch Up On TV shows

It seems you've been pushing off TV shows this whole month. Well, now it's time for TV shows marathons and binge-watching. No judgment, just tons of fun. The time to study is over.

4. See Your Family

Winter break is the perfect time for group hugs. Remember how much you missed your family at the beginning of the semester? Or how about how much you missed them during exams? They missed you too. Enjoy the holiday's at home with your family and the family pet of course.

5. Go Out With Friends

As great as making new friends was at college, it's time to go out with your day one's. You may all be far a part, but winter break is the best time to come together. You've been dreaming of this reunion for ages now, passing back messages about awesome plans for winter break. So go have fun! Go out to dinner, ice-skating, bowling, or even just a movie date. Either way, have a stellar winter break and a happy new year!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
