Christmas Break

Hey guys, Im back! After taking a mini-break after finals, I am ready to blog! I apologize for not being able to post anything the past week or so, but I have been busy wrapping up the end of the semester and whatnot.

I would like to begin by congratulating those of you who have completed your fall semesters of this year. You should be very proud of yourselves, and hopefully all the hard work and late night studying paid off for most of you. In my case, being that I am a freshman, I am now 1/8 of the way done with college! That kind of sounds scary though haha. Hopefully, everyone did well on their exams and final papers, and can now relax for the next month or so to recharge those batteries that I am sure are drained.

But lets examine some things that we can do on break:
1. Reading- I know that you guys are probably going to think I am crazy for suggesting to read during your holiday break, but I don't mean any school reading, I mean leisure reading. If you like animals, pick up a book on environmental studies, or if your a history wiz read up on Mussolini's fall in Italy. Just by reading what you enjoy, you not only stimulte the mind, but develop a deeper vocabulary which is crucial. Trust me, reading can be fun!
2. Sleeping- Most of you guys are exhausted physically and mentally from a long semester, so I suggest sleeping as much as you can. Getting at least 8-10 hours of rest a night is definately healthy for anyone's body.
3. Family- Spend time with your family and friends that you haven't seen for a while. Rekindling lost friendships and relationships is a good way to keep the ones you love closest to you. Call an aunt or cousin and set up a lunch date. They will appreciate it.
4. Enjoy Yourself- You are on break!!!!!Have fun. Be safe.
