I bet you&#8217;re missing your own bed, the home made food, annoying your siblings and miss having your pet around at all times. It&#8217;s normal, we all miss having 3 weeks off and being able to relax, catch up on shows and most importantly be around family. But don&#8217;t worry, the enrollment ambassadors got you covered with ways to <strong>avoid<\/strong> the winter blues!<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Stay involved!<\/strong> If you are already in clubs, continue going to meetings! This is a great way to keep your focus and energy on something else!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stay active!<\/strong> Go to classes that the CRC offers! Take friends and go to zumba. Don&#8217;t be afraid to try new things. Great way to stay active and help with the winter blues!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Weekend adventures!\u00a0<\/strong>If you have time on the weekends, get a group of friends and go do something fun! Go shopping, go bowling, or even head to the city of Boston!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make time for yourself!<\/strong>\u00a0There&#8217;s nothing wrong with some alone time, in fact, its quite healthy for you!
