As we all know, winter is coming. Goodbye football games, pumpkin spice lattes, and ankle booties. Hello basketball games, peppermint mochas, and over-the-knee boots!

Finals are over, the stress is gone (for a month at least), and no more 8 am classes! Winter break is the perfect time to hibernate under the covers, but be sure to treat yourself and have some fun after this semester as well!

It’s like every time a new season approaches, I have all of these neat things I want to do, but never get around to doing them. So without further ado, here is my winter break bucket list:

Table of Contents

1. RELAX

I know I said not to hibernate under the covers, but this isn’t hibernating, it’s relaxing! This is the number one thing we all need to do. Everybody deserves a little R&R.

Watch some Netflix, paint your nails, have a glass of wine (if you’re of age) or some tea, read a book. Or do all of the above! Just please do something to reset for next semester!

2. Catch Up with My High School Friends

Now I know all your friends in college are awesome, but don’t forget about your friends back home! How many times have you texted a friend from back home, promised to get together, and then just never did it? I am guilty of doing it quite often.

So this break, instead of saying something and not doing it, I want to make a real effort to reconnect with high school friends, even if it’s just to grab a latte. There’s nothing better in the cold months than good conversations over coffee!

3. Go Sledding

I feel like this is one of those childhood things that we all grow out of. We lose the little kid in us sometimes! I remember how much of a blast sledding was as a kid and I want to relive that feeling this season.
