What to Look Forward to Over Winter Break!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Vanderbilt chapter.

 

Finals are over and that means we can finally catch up on some much needed rest. It’s time to head home, climb into bed, and sleep for 24 hours straight. When we finally wake up, we can enjoy the winter weather and start preparing for the holidays! Heading into what we all know will be an awesome break, here are some things to look forward to:

 

Warm fires

Nothing beats the heat of a fire as it warms your toes on a cold winter night, except maybe the spicy scent!

Themed food

Pinterest is the ultimate place to find cute holiday crafts and delicious holiday treats. Whether it be santa hats or snowmen, there’s so much fun to be had with food this year.

Decorations

String lights are my personal favorite, but ornaments are a close second! And with so many decorations, it’s impossible not to make them your own.

Hot cocoa

Whipped cream, marshmallows, or any other way you take it, it warms your insides and gives you a delicious dose of chocolate.

Warm sweaters

Ugly sweaters are surprisingly adorable, not to mention comfy and cozy just when you need it.

It’s time to stay warm and rejuvenate after a tough semester. So relax! And have a happy holiday season!

Stacey Oswald, originally from South Florida, came to Vanderbilt as a member of the class of 2015 and got involved with HerCampus her freshman year. She became assistant editor that year and is now the Campus Correspondent for Vanderbilt HC as a sophomore. Stacey is currently a columnist for Ask Miss A- Nashville and the life section of The Hustler. She's also very involved in her sorority, Kappa Delta, as well as Invisible Children. Outside of school and her extracurriculars, Stacey finds happiness in many sources, the most crucial being exercise and the sun. She loves to attend exercise classes and is an avid runner; she recently completed the Country Music Half Marathon. She also loves Vitamin D, especially when on the beach- though of course, she only soaks up the sun after applying SPF. A few of the things Stacey couldn't live without? Good food (especially from Sweet Cece's, Bricktops, and Samurai Sushi), great books (The Hypnotist's Love Story is a recent favorite), her family back in Florida, her wonderful boyfriend, and all of the great friends she's made at Vanderbilt.
