You’ve probably hit this page because you’ve been home for 2 days, you’re dying of boredom and trying to think of things to do over Winter break…am I right? As much as we all love being home for the holidays, surrounded by good food and good company, we certainly tend to become bored. There’s no schoolwork to do, parties to attend on campus, or dining hall food to eat. Here’s a list of things to do when you’re bored over winter break. With that in mind, soak up every minute of winter break before returning to school for a kick ass spring semester and start to 2017! To get you started, here are a few things to do over winter break when you’re bored AF!

1. The Obvious: Netflix (And Chill)

Need I say more?

2. Research Snow Tubing Parks Near You And Make It A Day!

Most towns and cities have parks or ski areas that get turned into snow tubing during the holidays! It’s so fun and great for families or friends!

3. Test out Your Baking Skills

Baking is a perfect way to waste time over break. Perfect your macaron recipe or make some gingerbread cookies for your neighbor.

4. Plan Out Your 2018 And Create A List of New Year’s Resolutions

Now’s the perfect time to start a journal. Might as well add some New Year’s Resolutions!

5. Take A Road Trip With Your Friends

Just because it’s not summer time doesn’t mean you can’t grab a friend and your AUX cord for a few hours on the road to somewhere new.

6. Clean Out Your Closet

Winter Break is the perfect time of year for getting rid of things you haven’t worn since 8th grade..and that means making room for new things!

7. Apply For A Spring Semester Internship

Spring and Summer will be here before we know it, and we all want a paycheck in the summer.

Because this is basically necessary after that brutal semester you just finished.

Move your furniture around, paint one of your walls, add some DIY decor…the possibilities are endless.

10. Go Ice Skating At A Local Rink With Friends

It’s the most wintery thing you can do…event if you can’t ice skate (I’m pointing at myself.)

11. Treat Yourself To A New Haircuit

Start off 2018 with a new look and enjoy pampering yourself.

12. Have A Photoshoot For Instagram

Pick out an outfit, do your hair and makeup, grab a friend and go somewhere really cool. Take some awesome pics and then #PostThem!

13. Learn To Play An Instrument

Nowadays, all you need is an instrument and the internet to teach yourself how to play an instrument. Practice makes perfect!
