For most, winter break is the time were you can finally catch up on your sleep. Yet, don't waste your break with sleeping and lying around the house. Here is some advice.
1.Read. I know, you just had to take exams and study, so the last thing on your mind is reading. As an English Major I love to read teen fiction and books that have been on my goodreads list for months. This can release stress and give you some you time. The books I managed to read this winter break of 2013 were
- Chosen One: Carol Williams
- American Gods: Neil Gailman
- Carrie: Stephen King
- Catawba Nation
2. Take a day trip with some friends. I love the mountains but due to my fear of driving in the snow I wasn't able to spend time in the Smokeys. Yet, my friend and I spent a day in Asheville and had a great time. Getting away from home is what you need at times.
3. Spend time with your family. I know, it's cheesy to say but at times people take their family for granted and the holidays are the perfect time to show them how much you love them. Do something nice for them like go shopping together (if you like to fight people in the mall), see a movie, or go out to eat.
4. Exercise! No one wants to gain weight on the holidays so why not avoid the stress and work out every other day to make sure your weight stays the same. We all slip up on the holidays but try to keep yourself in check.
5. Craft. Do a DIY project on pinterest you've pinned earlier this year and spend a day doing it. You finally have time!
6. Get a part time job! A lot of families need nannies for Christmas break so that is the best job to get, try Care. come. Also, stores need workers for the holidays so try finding a job there. \
7. Treat yourself! Whatever makes you happy, go and do it! You had a tough semester and deserve to do something for yourself. Go and get your nails. Go see that movie that you've been wanting to see. Drive hours to see your best friend. Spend all your money at the mall. Do whatever makes you happy because you deserve it!
