The 10 Best Things About Winter Break, as Told by Buddy the Elf

Congratulations! You've survived another semester! Winter break is here at last, and we think Buddy the Elf perfectly encapsulates the enthusiasm you must be feeling right now.

At last! Finals are over, your books are closed, and winter break is on like Donkey Kong (people still say that, right?). Now you can relax with your family and friends, enjoy the holidays, and do pretty much anything you want without thinking about school for a blissful couple weeks (unless you've elected to take one of those crazy winter session classes, in which case, go forth and conquer!).

So without further ado, here's a look at 10 of the best things about the most wonderful time of the year—winter break—as told by everyone's favorite elf.

1. Sleeping in

CollegeXpress gave me options of schools with my major and from there I was able to pick what was most important to me in a school. Everything was so organized that I could see all the information I needed.

I love the site CollegeXpress; it has been very helpful finding colleges and getting them to send me information. It has also been very, very helpful with finding tons of scholarships. Also, I told many of my friends about it and they love it as well!

CollegeXpress has seriously helped me out a lot, especially when it comes to scholarships and studying for tests like the ACT. I also really love the financial help. It’s a little harder to pay because I live with a family of eight, so any help is appreciated. Thanks for this opportunity!

CollegeXpress helped me organize the schools I wanted to choose from in one place, which I could then easily compare and find the school that was right for me!

CollegeXpress helped me gain interest in many colleges/universities and many scholarships. I would say the most helpful thing CollegeXpress has done for me is sending me emails that tell me certain types of colleges are interested in me as well as emails about scholarships that I can look at and possibly apply for.
