<p>So it kind of just hit me that now that I am in college, I have ENTIRE month at home. That is a long time for someone who hates sitting at home doing nothing.</p>
<p>What are somethings you guys are planning to do?</p>
<p>I only have like six days off. I am planning a day trip to Chicago which may or may not actually happen and I think that is all.</p>
<p>Transfer applications! What What!</p>
<p>I’m (hopefully) doing an externship during the first week of January!</p>
<p>Then I’ll spend the other part of my winter break reading for pleasure, watch movies, cleaning my room, studying for the GRE, and just spending time with my family since I will be studying in England from February to June =)</p>
<p>For some people, they might go away on trips, work longer hours at their part time job, or even get involved in Alternative Winter Break (which is what I want to do next Winter if I get accepted). Does your school have an Alternative Winter Break program? Try applying for the program if you would like to volunteer.</p>
<p>OR you can just relax! Seriously, after a semester filled with all-nighters, term papers, and exams, you’ll be begging for winter break to come.</p>
<p>Winter Study @ Williams! :)</p>
<p>I’m going on vacation for part of it and then just hanging out with friends (especially ones who are going to college in other parts of the country).</p>
<p>i wish i could think about winter break, right now i’m worried about my grades!!</p>
<p>Whatever I wanna do, gosh.</p>
<p>Working. Hanging out with my boy and my dog. </p>
<p>Maybe going on a mini vacation with the boy :). </p>
<p>Oh, and the two leagues that I run are going to be starting in January, so I’m doing MAJOR registration drives during December lol.</p>
<p>My school offers a winter term class option, so I’m doing that :). It’s sooo awesome. 3 hours of class a day, then just hangin out with friends :)…and a little homework :p.</p>
<p>There’s a lot of things you could potentially do that are productive.</p>
<ul>
<li>learn something that you’ve always wanted to learn (last winter I got a book on mental maths and learnt how to do all types of calculations in my head)</li>
<li>winter job</li>
<li>prepare in advance for some spring classes if you know the syllabus</li>
<li>winter classes
Lots of other thigns I can think of but can’t bother to list</li>
</ul>
<p>Personally this christmas I’m planning on studying in advance for one of my spring classes, reading a few interesting books and keeping up with the news, and finally enjoying some time with my old friends from highschool.</p>
<p>Take an intro class at a community college to a science class you might be taking in the spring.</p>
<p>I hibernate during every winter vacation. Like a bear. Or a ManBear. Pig.</p>
<p>It’s going to be interesting for me. My parents moved, so I’ll be going to a city where I know absolutely no one except my fam for winter break.</p>
<p>What I plan on doing:</p>
<p>-Watching tons of NBA games on league pass.
-Reading books that I don’t have time to read, because I’m so busy during the school year.
-Hanging out with my family.
-Programming some games.</p>
<p>As for me, I tested out of 2 semesters worth of Spanish, so I’m going to review a bit before beginning the 3rd semester.</p>
<p>Sleep in every day</p>
<p>Sleeping, Hanging with my family, Reading for fun, shadowing physicians(im premed), and maybe pick up a shift or two at work</p>
<p>wow, how oh so terrible to have off for a month! <em>rolls eyes</em> take a class if you’re so upset about getting to relax. volunteer or something. there’s tons of stuff to do</p>
<p>Sleep. Watch movies. Hang out with friends. ;D snuggle with mah dog. Have a photoshoot. Be a gurL.</p>
<p>This winter break I’ll be driving home, preparing for Christmas, packing for my six months abroad, filling out summer internship apps, trying to teach myself some Danish before I go to Denmark, and spending a lot of time at the bookstore. After all my state-school friends are back in classes, I’m heading overseas to visit my dad before my semester abroad starts.</p>
