These GIFs Are You On Winter Break

by Megan Grant

Winter break is upon us, with schools letting out for the holidays and people taking time off from work — and these GIFs that are you on winter break likely sum up to perfection what you plan on doing with all your spare time. My own agenda is packed with a ton of nothing, nothing, nothing, and — oh look! — nothing. 'Tis the season and all, right?

Whether you're in school or not, winter break is always much needed. By December, we're exhausted from the last year (and in 2016's case... well, let's just say it's been an extra-exhausting year); and a break from reality is just what the doctor ordered so we can reboot, recharge, and put on our game faces for 2017 — which, as we say every year, is going to be the year. We catch up on sleep, set all the resolutions we'll likely never stick to (kidding... not really...), and enjoy some quality R&R with the people we love. In my case, that's my dogs. Although they love my fiance way more, even if they won't admit it.

Some of us might be jetsetting to a warmer location. Others might be basking in quiet time at home. Whatever your plans may be, I'd be willing to bet you can relate to at least one of these GIFs that are totally you on winter break.

Again, you can always pass on shaving... but also again, doing so is even better over winter break. It's like you have leg sweaters.

Be honest with yourself: You know you're not actually going to give up Facebook. But points for effort.

Hitting The Gym...

...Or... something. I mean, we're always like, "Totes gonna go to yoga every day over break"; by "yoga," though, we clearly meant the kitchen. It's legit, though, so hey, you do you.
