Winter isn’t just a season, it also signals a much-needed break from the lecture rooms, final exams, and never-ending grades that college brings. As the semester comes to an end, you can finally take the opportunity to embrace the magical season and get into the festive spirit. This also may mean saying goodbye to your besties and college town for a little while. Whether you find relaxation at home by the crackling fireplace, revel in the various holiday gatherings, or plan to escape to a tropical vacation spot, one thing is certain — your Instagram feed is the perfect place to share your favorite holiday break memories of the season with your followers.
