The holidays are done, the weather is colder, and you檙e out of class for the next few weeks.聽It檚 easy to fall into the binge pit, playing 淐yberpunk 2077� until your fingers hurt and following it up with an all-night marathon to catch up on a season檚 worth of 淢andalorian.�
… And that can be just what your over-anxious, exhausted brain needs for a few days, but don檛 let that post-semester hangover turn into your entire break.
Here are 5 ideas to get you motivated to make the most of your free-ish time; even if you just choose one, you檒l be happier and more prepared for Spring semester:
1 � Clean out your space.
Clutter multiplies quickly, and the best way to combat it for your own mental health is a deep dive. Old electronics? . Worn-out clothes? . Old notebooks? . Give everything else a wipe down, a spritz of Febreze, and a fresh lease on life � you檒l be amazed at how good you feel afterwards.
2 � Get your car serviced.
Winter is a rough season for any vehicle, and the last thing you want it to break down on a wet road on the way to or from class. Ease your mind now and get your oil changed, buy a new snow scraper, and maybe get some snow tires. You can even to make driving a lot less of a chore.
3 � Update your resume.
Every new thing you learn is a critical component to your future. Present yourself professionally and keep your resume up to date with these new skills. When you檙e done, check out and see how to get a jump on the job market.
4 � Flex your creativity and uniqueness.
With all your time spent between work and school, hobbies are not a priority during the semester. During your break, make them one. Refuel your creative juices by , taking some beautiful pictures, sketching out a video game plot, even building a LEGO castle with your siblings or kids.
