How is it already December and how are we really in the middle of finals? This semester was so long yet so fast all in one. I don’t know how that is possible, but I don’t think I’m the only one to feel this way!I had various topics I wanted to talk about before the semester ends but I decided on talking about what’s on everyone’s mind – winter break!

There are some holidays over the break and there’s a New Year to bring in! Whether you’re taking winter classes, working, or going on vacations; I wanted to provide a few things you should try to do over this break. 

1. Sleep

This is probably obvious, but I know the semester has eaten up my sleep time and especially now that we are in finals mode. Whatever your form of catching up on sleep is – do it! Along with enjoying the break, nothing’s wrong with sleeping in a bit or taking that midday nap if you can.

2. Me Time

Have a self-care day(s) to help you relax. This may be doing face masks or getting a haircut. Eat some good food and take care of yourself. Winter break should be a time to unwind and let go of any possible negative energy you had due to school stresses.

3. Try something NEW!

This could be a new type of cuisine, a new restaurant you’ve been dying to try, going to a different city (in or out of state), or maybe starting a new hobby!  Whatever the case may be, trying something new never hurt anyone so let loose and who knows, maybe you’ll find something you grow to love.

Winter break should be a time to enjoy yourself! Regardless of your busy schedule,  I hope you take this time to recharge. As always, thank you for reading & ‘til next time! 🙂
