what I want to do over winter break

after my first semester away at college, I have finally returned home! it's been so wonderful to see my family, eat good food, and sleep in my own bed again. I don't just want to laze around, though. there are so many things that I want to do that I didn't have the time/supplies for at college, so here is a little list of all the fun things I want to do over winter break. hopefully this can give you some ideas too!

1. burn CDs + decorate CD cases

i love burning CDs because it's so cool to have physical media! I have a CD player in my car and there's nothing better than just popping a CD in. I also think it's so fun to decorate the CD cases!

2. go thrifting

gosh, am I a thriftaholic. I have a super-specific vision for my winter wardrobe and I really want to see if I can thrift anything for it while i'm home. I also want to thrift some clothes for my sister-in-law, since i'm making her a pair of pants for christmas and I thought would be fun to thrift her an outfit to go with it.

3. sew

as I mentioned, i'm sewing a pair of pants for my sister-in-law and i'm also doing a little sewing craft for my baby sister. I love to sew, but I just don't really have the space or time at college (even though I did bring my sewing machine!). hopefully i'll get to do some sewing here and that'll jumpstart my ability to sew in college

4. bake + cook

I hated baking and cooking before I got to college, but that has changed drastically. I met some of my closest friends in college (one of them is the guy I have a big fat crush on ¬‿¬) by feeding them some soup I made, and i've been saving so many recipes. i'm also becoming more conscious of my nutrition, and I want to have more control in making sure I eat good-quality food. I want to actually get some serious cooking and baking done while i'm here!

5. blog

obviously i'm blogging right now so this is somewhat self-evident, but I just want to have fun, get back into blogging, and enjoy myself!

6. make audio edits

when i say audio edits I don't mean tiktok edit audios! there's this one youtuber I really love called joonpiter, who used to make these immersive audio edits to kpop songs (the song playing on my profile is actually a joonpiter edit!). I would love to mess around and figure out how to make these because I really enjoy listening to them.

7. watch new (to me) movies and TV shows

some movies and shows I want to watch include:

- meet me in st. louis

- to all the boys i've loved before

- crash landing on you (i'm part of the way through, but i'd love to finish)

- gossip girl

8. journal

I used to love journaling and was really consistent in it, but then I fell off. now that i'm on break i'm trying to be more intention in my morning routine, and so I want to make sure I include journaling in it. I also like to journal twice a day; I like to do a stream-of-consciousness style entry in the morning and then recap my day at night. I also want to get more into artsy/scrapbook/junk journaling.

9. take photos

I don't take enough pictures of my life, and I want to fix that! I have a really cool digicam, so I want to take more pictures on that. i'm really excited to do a yearly recap on social media with just pictures from my digicam!

10. work out

i'm going to try and take this time to be a little more active and try new things movement-wise!

if you got this far, thanks for reading! let me know some cool things you're going to do over break, recommend a movie, or just say hello <3 have a blessed day!
