Winter break = endless hours of reading for pleasure. Pure bliss.

Woo! Winter break! No class! No studying! Just TV marathons, home cooked meals and snuggle time with the family pooch.

What’s not to love? OK, so sometimes the family can be a little much, but that’s a small price to pay for the heaps of free stuff you’ll be taking back to campus with you come January.

In honor of the best 2-4 weeks of the year I asked the CollegeCandy writers what they love most about Winter Break. What’s your favorite thing? Share it in the comments section below!

Cristina – Michigan State University:  I absolutely love hopping in my Jeep and blasting music and singing along while driving to the mall.  It’s so much better than my iPod walking to class.

Erica – Kent State: My favorite thing?  The fact that at my parents house I don’t have to climb five flights of stairs to get to my room.

Caitlin – University of Alabama: I love not having to think about classes for a whole month! It’s nice to give my brain a break. Read More »

And heading back to class after a long weekend?

Yeah right.

The only thing that really got me moving out of bed was a little hair of the dog that bit me… in the form of an Easter Egg filled with Starbursts that I found under my pillow. Thanks, roomie!

Anyways, a long weekend at home with the family was pretty tubular (yeah, I’m trying to bring that word back), but there are just some things about going home that are less than rad (yup, trying to bring that one back, too!): Read More »
