With Christmas quickly drawing near, students are more than excited about a break which allows them to recharge before the second semester begins.
Frequently referred to as "winter break", one of the best loved times for college students is Christmas. This alots time off from school to reconnect with family, friends, and anything but schoolwork. Many agree that the focus of the break is very relaxing and non-stressful.
Business Management junior, Josh Deshields, said it will be nice to just relax in his hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina. "I plan on hanging out with a lot of my friends and possibly visit my old high school just to catch up with some of my favorite teachers, but I will mostly spend time with family."
Most students believe meeting up with old friends will be the highlight of their break; and for some, they brought their friends home with them in lieu of complications. "My roommate will be spending the holidays with my family this year because he won't be able to make it back to New York," said freshman Cody McEachin.
Making time for friends and family isn't the only priority for some students while being at home. Involvement with the community is just as important. "The day after Christmas, I'll be participating in our traditional YMCA turkey chase which is a local run that everybody in the community participates in," said sophomore Lauren Daughtry.
Between family gatherings, quality time with friends, and lots of relaxion, the Christmas holiday proves itself to be quite an enjoyable and well-needed break.
