Winter break from school is one of life’s greatest blessings to any student. To have an extended amount of time that doesn’t disappear in two seconds is an amazing feeling, and it helps everyone feel refreshed before going back into lecturing and homework.
As for my winter break, I’ve been spending it so far catching up on everything I’ve neglected in my personal hobbies. I finally have the chance to sit down and play through the long list of video games in my backlog, and it is an amazing feeling. From going for the platinum trophy in Watch Dogs 2, to finally starting Heavy Rain with my friends, I love the productive feeling I get from spending time on myself during break. I personally have a lot more video games I want to playthrough before break is over, but I don’t spend all my time playing games. I’ve also spent time catching up on my favorite shows, and Netflix is always there for me when I don’t know what I want to do next. And once I’ve had enough of sitting for one day, I’ve even motivated myself enough to get a quick workout in!
Although I love all of the personal time alone, I’ve also spent a lot of time catching up with my friends and family, and I’m looking forward to spending more time with them. It feels so good to just sit and talk with them, and it makes me even more thankful for break. Sharing my ridiculous life stories about what has happened since I last saw them has brought out some of the greatest laughs ever. It feels good to hangout with friends, or Christmas shop with my family.
Break has been great so far, and it isn’t close to being over yet. If you need me, I’ll probably one of the things I wrote about above. Winter break is your chance to get refreshed and enjoy yourself, so take advantage of it! Live the vacation days how you want to, and do only what your heart desires. After all, they wouldn't call it a break if it wasn't suppose to recharge you. So happy holidays, and make you enjoy yourself over the next several days!
