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.

[Jada3J]

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!

[Angela Marie Guevarra Dis3F]

I'm planning to spend time more time with my family (and friends, virtually), maybe binge a few shows, and focus on hobbies I wasn't able to during the quarter :)

[Minh Nguyen 3H]

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.

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.

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! : - )
