This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Roosevelt chapter.

You did it! You have finally come to the end of a very long-winded semester. You’ve worked so hard and struggled to get through loads and loads of homework, papers, and exams. Now it is time to focus on the things that you actually want to do! Her Campus – Roosevelt wants to make sure you are doing winter break right! We have the six simple things every college student should be yearning to do over winter break. This list may be short and sweet but completing these tasks will make your winter break all the more better!

Hit the snooze button! – It is time that you get exactly what you deserve, and that is sleep! You have spent numerous late nights studying and staring at a computer screen since late August, or early September. You can finally delete the ten alarms you set for the single hour of 5 a.m.! So catch some Z’s, because you’ve earned it!

Spend time with your friends and family – Lots of college students only have the the opportunity to see their family and friends from home during Thanksgiving and winter break. Spend as much time as you can with your loved ones, because before you know it, it will be time to head back to school and all of the stress that comes with it! 

Stuff your face! – We know that you worked hard trying to eat healthy while away at school, so it’s time for you to cut loose! Enjoy all the perks of coming back to home-cooked meals made with lots of love.

Shop, Shop, Shop! – Now is the perfect time to go out and step your wardrobe game up a notch for next semester! Try doing this with a parent, not only for the quality time you can spend with them, but also because they might take pity and help you out with those new boots you’ve been wanting.

Netflix –  Let’s be honest, we all use our Netflix account’s a lot, but now is really the best time to use them! With the free time you have over break, you can binge watch all of your favorite shows without worrying about that paper you were suppose to start three days ago.

Chill – Now this one can be done with or without the Netflix, but just make sure you do it! We know that it has been a long semester, so take this time to relax and do you!
