I have been on winter break for about 2 weeks. I actually finished my finals early so I was able to come home a lot sooner than I expected. So far, my break has been very busy. I've hung out with friends from high school, had holiday parties, finished Christmas shopping, baked cookies, and lots more. Being home for Christmas, I expected to be busy but I didn't realize how busy I would be. Being home is completely different than being away at college. At my school, I am so used to a routine and doing homework that I sometimes forget to have fun and do something that I enjoy. Even though I've been busy during break, I am so thankful for the things that I have been able to do.
Last Thursday, my best friend Parker and I visited our favorite high school English teacher. We brought her coffee and sat and chatted for over an hour. She asked us about life and how our school years were going but then we started talking about what we wanted to do later in life. I brought up that I would love to travel around the world (another thing that I've realized over break is that I want to travel as much as possible). She asked about study abroad opportunities and where I would like to go. As I listed the places, I felt myself grow more and more excited. She and Parker both said to go after it. If it is something that I really want to do, find a way to make it happen.
For the rest of break, I'm focusing on spending time with my family and friends. I love being home and plan to enjoy myself. Break is not going to slow down for me. I have things almost everyday but I plan to make the most of it.
I hope everyone has a great Christmas and a happy New Year!!
