What students can do during the
holidays!
Holidays have begun!! Students might have
no idea what to do during the holidays or how to keep busy. Being away from all
your friends at university might not be easy. Students spend lots of time together and the relationships
you have made with other students might be on hold for a few weeks because of
long distances. There are many things to do during the holidays that can be
either productive or just plain fun. Profgrad would like to discuss all the
different things you can do during the holidays.
Exams can be emotionally and physically
draining to students. As a student, you might have spent many nights studying
and did not get the necessary sleep needed. As the holidays start, this will be
a good time to catch up on any lost sleep. We are not saying spend every second
of every day in bed…. Take the time to relax, maybe rent a few movies and stay
in bed the first few days to recover. Here is a list of all the new releases
out.
If you apply for a holiday job, not only
will you keep busy and earn some extra cash, you will also be able to show this
on your CV. Employers will be able to see that you have some experience and did
not waste any opportunities whilst studying at university. This might show that
you are dedicated and eager to learn. You will get the feel of what it is like
to work as a lot of students get a big shock after university when they have to
enter the world of a working person. This working experience is not always
perceived as initially expected. Below is an article explaining how to go about
getting a holiday job.
Go on holiday for a week or so. Students
might think that they do not have money to go on holidays etc. Some companies
give student discounts and this could be much cheaper than expected. You might
want to go on holiday with a few friends or go on holiday with family. At the
end of the day you want to make this a memorable holiday and walk away with
some much needed quality time with either friends or family. See a few deals
that might look appealing on the below link.
Get ahead of the curve. If you like reading
and already have your textbooks for the next semester, start reading through
it. Nothing will get you better prepared for the new semester than knowing what
you are going to be learning in the next semester. You will know by the time
you get to class what your lecturer is explaining. You can therefore ask the
right questions when in class. You will not have unanswered questions, when
preparing for the next exam. As the lecturer goes through the work, this will
be the second time you go through it, making preparing for the next exam so
much easier.
Some universities might offer extra
classes. If you had trouble with a certain module or feel the need to learn an
extra one, for example an extra language that might not be offered with your
course, during the normal semester and it might clash with your scheduling, now
is the time to do that. It is never a bad idea to get extra credits. Visit your university website to see if they
offer any extra classes during holidays. http://www.profgrad.co.za/institution.html
