Yeah, winter break has been cool... but my goodness, (unpopular opinion) it is so unbelievably boring!
Don't get me wrong, it was fun at first. No classes, sleeping all day (when not working) and just doing whatever you want is always a good time, but not forever. Winter break was the relaxing break that I needed after a long, stress-filled semester. But I'm ready for it to over and classes to begin again.
Before college, winter break was never long enough. I didn't have nearly enough time to spend with friends, not nearly enough time to ruin my sleep schedule, not nearly enough time to relax. Now, I feel like there's almost too much time. I'm bored, sick of it. Now that the hell of working retail during the holidays is over, it feels as though there's nothing to do. I've watched more episodes of Netflix in the last week than I did all of fall semester! (and let me tell ya, that's really saying something.)
I miss the schedule of school. Classes are tedious, boring, and a total pain, but it gives some rigidity and structure to life. Without a class schedule, my work schedule is totally random. After/before work, I'm bored. With the weather being so crappy it's hard to get out and do things, and I don't want to drop tons of money to do things indoors. Winter kind of sucks.
I also miss the life of college. I miss my friends all being near me and ready to hang out at a minute's notice. I miss the hustle and bustle of campus life. Heck, I even miss the terrible parking. I'm ready for it all to start again. I'm ready to see all my friends again. I'm ready to start up my classes and make this semester my semester. I'm even ready to fight with 20 other students for the last parking spot in Bear Park South.
Here's to a great spring semester. Let's make it ours.
