I'm probably going to either spend a lot of time watching dumb Christmas movies with my family or go on calls with my friends while we play games.
Re: Plans for Relaxing After Finals
I'm hoping that my sister and I can have a movie marathon. We didn't get to watch Halloween movies this year so I'm hoping we can catch up!

I'm gonna try to pick up more hours at work to keep myself busy. Maybe apply for some internships if I'm really up to it, but I'll probably just end up spending time with friends and family, as much as can be allowed at least.

Re: Plans for Relaxing After Finals
It's my birthday, my grandma's birthday, and my little sister's birthday over winter break, so I'll be spending lots of time with my family to help me relax. Also planning on catching up on shows I've been wanting to watch, but never had the time to (Hotel del Luna lol). I hope you have a relaxing break!

Catching up on sleep on my list after sorting out digital textbook codes being mailed! Sapling accounts, using new technology with more twists than a pretzel, assisting and supporting ~1000 students, training and supervising 32 TAs and UAs, difficult work politics, weekly covid tests, email overload, posting on Chemistry Community 7 days a week, remote education, maintaining quality and academic standards, etc.
The reason I'm still here: terrific students!

Re: Plans for Relaxing After Finals
Definitely going to get my sleep in for a few days and lounge around! All of these late night study groups and early morning independent study times have taken a tole on my energy and sleeping habits. Of course after that I want to maybe go hiking, go to the beach, go bike riding, just be OUTSIDE.

Do you have any interesting Netflix shows/movies and books that you suggest! Definitely planning on having a good binge marathon
Re: Plans for Relaxing After Finals
This might not be relaxing, but I am definitely planning on also being productive over break with my projects. One is my clothing brand called PlayGirlzLA on Instagram and twitter! And the other is my nonprofit organization called H5foundation one instagram!

I am definitely going to go into hibernation for a little bit to recover all the sleep that I lost during finals week, haha. However, I am genuinely looking forward to relaxing with my family (dogs included) during the Christmas season because it is my favorite holiday of the year. I just hope that this break is long enough to fully recover all my energy to start winter quarter off with a running start. I would like to end by wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year's! : - )
