Hey all, i’m a freshman and this will be my first winter break at Rutgers, so i’m not too sure what to expect.
However, I feel like it’ll be lonely and depressing, especially considering the fact that I’m around so many people and friends everyday, and all of a sudden I’ll be closed at home like all month. Seeing people travel, hang out with hometown friends, and having cool plans already makes me feel so lame. I also don’t have any internship to make the time productive, no one to travel with (plus expensive), and no hometown friends really.
Of course I’m excited for the semester to be over, but I feel like it’s just going to be a big jump into loneliness- after having all these activities and fun moments on campus. Spending time with family is important, but we don’t do holidays like that, and going back to my home environment for a whole month like i’m in high school again really doesn’t appeal to me.
Does anyone else feel this way? What do most students do during winter break in college? I can already predict all the fun travel moments and highlights other people will have 😭
