Winter may not be your favorite time of year due to the wretched cold atmosphere that your eyelashes end up freezing and forming icicles while walking to class. Yup, college rarely cancels classes because it is "too cold out". Snow days are not a thing here at UW Madison. However, you can make this winter season 20x better by completing some activities on this list I made below by bringing your childhood back to life and taking care of yourself.
1. Go Sledding
GiphyWhy not bring your favorite winter activity into your college activities. Heard of sledding down lakeshore hills on a Gordons dining tray? Wild. Plus it would make for a fun throwback memory with your friends.
2. Christmas Movie Marathon
GiphyGet cozy underneath layers of blankets, make some eggnog or hot chocolate and grab your family, yourself, your friends, or your significant other and play some of your favorite holiday movies.
3. Decorate Your Apartment
GiphyWho doesn't love having an excuse for having a reason to decorate your apartment, whether that be random trinkets and decorations or putting up a christmas tree
5. Reunite With Old Friends
GiphyOne of the best things about college is that you get a month long winter break, which means that all your high school friends you actually stayed in touch with are coming home!! Spend some quality time with them
6. Spending Time With Your Family
GiphyDuring winter break you get to see your family, who you hate to admit that you missed while at college. Take this advantage, the holidays always brings us all closer and is a time to show the people around you that they are loved and appreciated.
7. Catch Up On Sleep
GiphyWinter is the perfect time to get cozy and catch up on sleep, because let's admit it, college is hard.
8. Tokens of Appreciation
GiphyNow, winter is not all about the holidays and the gifts, but to show others around you how important they are to you!!
