Winter break is finally here and there is an endless list of ways that students can spend their days off.

From working to make a little extra cash, spending time with loved ones, picking up a new hobby or just resting away from the stress of finals week, several students commented on how they plan to spend their winter break this year.

You may want to spend your break with close friends, like Chyanne:

“I’m going to work and hang out with friends. My best friend is coming home from OU and we are going to see Christmas lights! My sister and I are planning on going shopping for gifts. Also, I’m going to spend some time relaxing because of how stressful this past semester has been,” said International Business junior Chyanne Jamison.

Or catch up on your favorite hobbies, like Grace:

“During winter break I plan to catch up on reading, play around with oil paints and other art mediums and spend time with my family. I also want to curl up with a good cup of cocoa and watch my favorite holiday movies,” said Grace Patterson, College of Liberal Arts senior.

How about going to a fun destination, like Neil?

“I’m taking my wife to Bermuda! Weather should be nice and since it’s right after Thanksgiving, we have an excuse to not have our beach bodies,” said Neil Witherell, senior in Theatre Studies.

Or taking the time for a huge family reunion, like Allison:

“This break I’m going to Hilton Head, which I haven’t been to in years, and we’re meeting my grandma, uncle and cousins for a late Christmas. We all live in different states so it should be fun,” said Allison Vanover, sophomore in Art.

Whatever your plans may be, make sure to take the time to rest and recharge! Enjoy this month off from school and get ready to prepare yourself for spring semester.
