How Can I Not Waste My Winter Break?

Hi everyone, I hope you're enjoying the holidays. I recently finished my first semester in college and the second semester doesn't start until Feb. 1. I have time to burn, but I don't want to just spend my break doing nothing and completely waste the valuable time off - I want to be productive. That said, I was wondering if any of you guys had some suggestions for how I can make the most out of this short time off?

Thanks!

Hit up the gym or workout/run everyday, eat well, research.
