Another semester approaches its close. Finals are around the
corner and the study scramble will soon be in full swing. At the conclusion of
this hectic time, however, there is a light at the end of the tunnel: winter
break.
Being your laziest self will surely leave you refreshed and
energized for the new semester. Follow these tips and get off on the right foot
for spring!
Sleep – at last!
Take this grand three-week opportunity to
catch up on all the sleep you missed out on when you were cramming for finals. Sleep
deprivation is harmful to your health and should be avoided whenever possible!
Enjoy all of your favorite comfort foods.
This is the time to take a break from the
dining hall or cooking food yourself. Savor the home cooked family meals you
missed so much while away at school. Also be sure to make trips to all of your
favorite restaurants.
Visit with family and old friends.
Going home is an escape from the constant
buzz of the fast-pace of Miami. A break from this busy academic and social
environment gives you a chance to cleanse the mind and enjoy the simple
pleasure of catching up and sharing stories with loved ones. Getting in touch
with your roots can be an opportunity to come back down to earth after the
excitement of a stimulating semester.
Pick up old or new hobbies.
Swap out the textbooks and study guides for
recreational reading. Try a month-long trial at a hot yoga studio or kickboxing
gym. And who doesn't love winter sports.
Shout-out to December
graduates: CONGRATULATIONS! You should
take the time to relax just as much as – if not more than – students this
holiday season.
