Without exception, all schoolchildren and students are waiting for the summer vacations. And this is understandable because they are the longest and fall on the warmest and most fun time of the year.
When you are a junior or senior in high school or a 1-3 year student at university, you associate this time primarily with relaxation. But for graduates and seniors, it’s a crossroads period. For 3 months they are deciding where they will go next, taking exams, and trying to get into good schools. In this article, we will look at 7 proven tips to help you spend these summer vacations as much as possible.
Travel
No one can take away the right to vacation on summer vacation, otherwise, what else were they invented for? A lot of things, but primarily for recreation. Of course, we are not talking about three months of entertainment, but one month can certainly be allocated. Usually, they use June, because who wants to do something hard right after the exhausting school year. Unless, of course, exams are looming, in which case the vacation will have to be shortened a bit, or even postponed.
Learn a Foreign Language
Knowledge of a foreign language in our time can open up many doors. The knowledge that gives the school program (unless of course, it is a school with a bias in the language) may not be enough. Therefore, the best solution will be self-education, or if you cannot do it yourself, the services of a tutor. Favor material for the study now abound. There are paid and free courses on the Internet, videos on YouTube, a lot of foreign literature freely available.
Find a Temporary Job
Job search sites are now overflowing with summer jobs for students. Often they are connected with employment in resort areas. This is a great opportunity to combine earning money with a vacation at the sea. Some universities have links with large resorts, water parks, and their trade union committees act as a liaison between the student and the employer. This option is good because you get a guarantee in terms of wages, safety, accommodation, and other conditions.
There is also an option that is less fun, but more practical. We are talking about a part-time job in the field of your specialty. This will allow you to gain invaluable experience, gain new skills and connections, and of course, earn a little money. Usually, the trade union committee also looks for such jobs for students.
Develop Creative Skills
The famous French writer Honoré de Balzac once said that “talent is only a developed natural inclination. If you have a desire to develop in artistic, musical, or want to learn how to do an informative essay, summer is the perfect time to do it. When else will you have so much free time, without homework, tests, and exams? The network can find a large number of training sites and video tutorials. If you live in a big city, it’s not difficult to enroll in courses.
Preparing for the Coming School Year
Summer holidays are certainly good, but in front of pupils and students waiting for a new academic year. Therefore it is not superfluous to prepare for it a little bit. Ask yourself: ‘Does my studying skills are good, do I remember how to write my essay properly’ and so on. To do this, it is worth allocating at least 1-2 last weeks of vacation. This time will be enough to refresh your knowledge.
