#1: Have a Lazy Day

Bruno Mars says it best in his “Lazy Song;” today, you won’t feel like doing anything! The first day of Winter Break, have a complete and totally reasonable lazy day. Sleep in, stay in your pajamas, and spend practically the whole day just watching Netflix and eating chocolate/other things you really shouldn’t be eaten. Don’t worry; it’s not sad. It’s practical.

#2: Set off A Relaxing Spa Day

Sometimes relaxing is better done when you’re with friends. So, invite some over and have a spa day! Why not go to an awesome place you found on Yelp and just be queen for a day. You definitely deserve a facial or two and even a seaweed wrap if you’re really up for it.

#3: Treat Yourself and Your Friends to a Shopping Spree

Now here’s something that’s fun to do with friends and the end of your finals is a great excuse for your parents to finally let you have one: a shopping spree! Get together with some close friends, talk all of your parents into bumping up your allowance, and head to the mall.

#4: Throw a Party!

A great house party could be just the thing to cure your weeks of anxiety and pressure. Invite some friends over, blast your favorite music, and don’t be afraid to pig out on your favorite food; I mean, why not? You’ve earned it!

#5: Disneyland!

What better way to celebrate the end of final exams with a trip to the Happiest Place on Earth? Set a date over Winter Break and have a great vacation with some friends. With its thrills and exciting attractions, Disneyland will be a great way to wake you up and have some fun at the same time. This will actually be a day when you will want to get up early and stay up late; but this time, you won’t be studying!
