What To Do During The Mid-Winter Break Blues

Christmas is over. New Years is over, What now?

What To Do During The Mid-Winter Break Blues
giphy.com

Well, here we are, in that awkward in-between stage of enjoying your break and worrying about school starting all over again. You might be thinking, what do I do? The holidays are over, no more Christmas and the new year has begun. Do you turn your bedroom into a cocoon and anxiously wait until you become a beautiful college butterfly once again? Nah, I have some other ideas.

Hit The Gym

Get a head start on your New Year's resolution and join a gym for 17 days. We all promise ourselves that during this new year we will make a better version of ourselves, by getting buff and slim. So join a gym for half a month and get started before you can return to your free college gym.

Hang Out With Friends... Again

I know you have probably already seen all of your high school friends already, well see them again! A bunch of new movies just came out, go catch one with your girls/guys! Or you can go shopping and blow the gift cards you most likely received for Christmas. Or invite a friend from college that lives a little farther away to come up for a weekend. Or just enjoy each others friendship by, following a training montage, bro hug on a beach.

Sleep

I know I will be doing this, just sleep. Sleep until noon! Sleep all day, if you want to! No doubt you were up until the wee hours of the morning celebrating the new year or just stay up late as a rule. That's fine! Just make sure you are getting sleep to compensate or take a nap sometimes. 20 minutes is the perfect nap time, but heck you have all day!

Family

Enjoy your family members while they are around, you most likely won't have them all together for a long time. Play a board game or something!

Binge Watch a Netflix Show

It's a favorite past time of many, very easy to do and kills a lot of time. If you are feeling an action-y show I suggest 24, Flash, or Arrow. Maybe a drama? Try Breaking Bad, Orange is the New Black or Derek. Medical Drama? House is hilarious and amazing and Grey's Anatomy is the best show to grace this green earth! (WARNING! YOU WILL DO NOTHING ELSE WITH YOUR LIFE IF YOU START GREY'S BUT IT IS THE BEST BUT YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED). Or a funny show, the best options include, Parks and Recreation, Archer, Jane the Virgin, The Office, Friends, and many more. It's also fun to challenge yourself and try to see how fast you can take down a season and how much popcorn the act requires.

No matter what you do, you have to make sure you are doing it to make yourself happy and it allows you to live up to the winter break you have expected. Enjoy yourself!

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.
