The question of what you can do during winter break looms over your head. But fear not, this “WINTER” article will provide intake on what you can do during winter break in order to avoid boredom and being stuck on the couch. (source via Zen College Life)

1. Watch old movies and TV shows

Did someone say High School Musical or White Chicks? Sitting with a cozy blanket and a cup of hot chocolate in your hand while re-watching classics seems like the perfect way to start winter break. Dive back into your childhood and the lives of the characters you used to love as a kid.

2. Ice skating

Um … winter equals ice skating, right? Don’t forget to practice those twirls and figure eights, am I right?

3. New hobbies

Want to start learning how to juggle? Or take on painting? There are so many options you can choose to occupy yourself with during the upcoming three to four weeks. Recently, I wanted to learn calligraphy as another means to write encouragements and cards to friends and family for this merry season.

4. Time to bake

Christmas tree cookies? Snowman cupcakes? Baking creative and tasty little treats for your friends and families is a delicious way to keep yourself occupied. For easy Christmas desserts, check out this website!

5. Exercise

This choice is probably the least expected option out of the rest, but don’t forget to keep yourself active and healthy during winter break. Though exercising can be tiresome, it can also be a good pastime.

6. Road trip

Did someone say road trip? A spontaneous road trip? There’s nothing like gathering all your friends, traveling in a car, and singing to songs ranging from old hits like “We’re All in this Together” to recent ones like “Don’t Let me Down.”
