It's almost here. That very special time of year college students long for. Exams are almost over and you are gearing up for winding down. The Holidays are almost here and school will be shutting down for three weeks or so, leaving you with a lot of free time on your hands. What do you do with it? Here are some ideas.
Spend time with your family. Yeah, we know, this sounds lame and for some of you it may be the last thing you want to do, but this is the holidays, it is what you do. Part of being in college means you are away from your family a lot. They don't see you much anymore and this is their chance to do so. You are gone for most of the year. If you are like many college students your time away from home has made you miss your family more. A few days with loved ones won't hurt. Not only that, but since you are in college you are supposed to be mature right? So do the mature thing and honor your family. Years from now when you look back on your life you probably won't think, "man, I wish I had partied more." The last thing you want to think is "I really wish I had spent more time with my family when I had the chance," so go ahead and enjoy your time with them.
Get a job. Not to sound like your parents or girlfriend but this is a great time to make some money. Now is your chance to ease your financial woes. Seasonal jobs are all over the place. Any number of retail places, Christmas tree lots and event venues need short term help. You can probably work over time if you really wanted to, but who wants to do that on Christmas break. If you aren't opposed to weird hours, you can unload freight trucks over night at any number or retail places as well, and night shifts usually make more money, and it is a great way to lose some weight if you feel the need to do so.
Go on snowboarding or on a road trip. Pack up your gear and hit the slopes. There is a lot of great powder just begging you to hit it. If money is a problem ask for cash for Christmas. If you live on the east coast the Appalachians aren't too far away so it is a fairly easy trip. If you are on the west coast, mountains are everywhere and slopes are usually a half days drive away. You can even go right outside of Los Angeles at Big Bear.
Some parts of the country might have problems hitting the slopes, so hit the road instead. Throw some bags in the car, grab a buddy or girlfriend and head to another city where you know a place you can crash. Plan it around New Year's for fun some extra fun. If you are really gutsy, try going camping. Yeah, it will probably be cold, but that is part of the adventure!
