Enjoying the winter break Bobcats? Here are five things to do during the winter break!
- Listen to the TXST Spotify playlists. Celebrate the end of a successful semester by listening to TXST Spotify playlists, such as “End of the semester” or the “Winter Break Rewind.”
- Apply for scholarships. While you’re listening to the TXST Spotify playlists, start applying for scholarships. You can search and apply for scholarships using the Bobcat Online Scholarship System (BOSS) or Scholarships.com.
- Watch a movie. Texas State University Libraries have a free movie streaming library. They have classic movies like The Shining and more recent movies like Crazy Rich Asians. What movie will you watch tonight? I recommend watching The Blind Side.
- Take a course on LinkedIn Learning. I recommend Career Advice from Some of the Biggest Names in Business. It’s a series of videos ranging from 1-5 minutes, where business leaders like Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, and Richard Branson share career advice based on their experience. You can also download the LinkedIn Learning App on the Apple and Google Play store if you’re looking to learn on the go.
- Enjoy the outdoors. You might have spent the majority of your time the last few weeks indoors study for finals or working. Try to get outside and enjoy the outdoors. You can download apps like AllTrails from the Apple and Google Play store, which features over 75,000 hiking, running, and biking trail maps and reviews. A recent study found you can improve your well-being by spending just 20 minutes in a park.
Enjoy the rest of your break! It’s a great day to be a Bobcat!
