Just wanting to get some ideas on how to spend time wisely during semester breaks.

not sure if it’s the best way to spend time but I usually take a lot of part-time jobs during semester breaks as a way to keep myself occupied and try new stuff. I also game at night to de-stress haha

Hi! I’m currently on my semester break too! I’ve been spending this time catching up on hobbies that I was not able to engage in as much due to school commitments. I have been reading and trying to visit the gym more these days! I also want to venture into other activities such as yoga and pilates and have signed up for a few classes! Any time spent doing the things you enjoy is time well spent, take this time to let loose and relax as much as possible :blush:

Hello, usually during the semester breaks I’ll take some time to hangout with past friends from previous schools or activities.

I’ll also take the time to explore my creativity in starting a new project, or going out and seeing what events are happening nearby.

i feel like there’s no wrong way to spend the break~ school semesters are really hectic for everyone, so i think if anyone needs some time to rest at home or binge watch some new shows and movies, that’s totally fine haha

like what others have already shared, picking up a new hobby could be fun :smiley: personally im trying to write my own music and learn a new language! i know people who also enjoy more arts and crafts, crocheting and painting :star_struck:

Hello! I will usually try to take some days off just to rest, such as going to the library to read and go cafe hopping! And yes I definitely agree with others on using the break to pick up a hobby:)

I usually spend my semester breaks doing stuff I’ve always wanted to try, but also making sure to rest a lot. I sound like I do a lot, but it’s mostly because if I don’t keep busy, I get really fidgety and bored. Some of the things I do:

  1. Spend time with family — visiting my grandparents, hanging out or going out with them, and sometimes having lunch with my mom at her workplace.
  2. Chill hard — sleeping in, waking up to binge-watch shows like Resident Playbook (finished it in 3 days!).
  3. Read for fun — I love books but rarely have time during school, so I borrow all kinds from comics to classics to self-help. Already finished 4 books this break!
  4. Exercise — I both love and hate it. I go to the gym but more for chill sessions where I rest more than work out. It’s a nice way to pass time without pressure.
  5. Internships — I do one that’s remote and task-based, so I can work when I want. I usually binge all my work in 2 days and free up the rest of the week.
  6. Hang out with friends — catching up and just having fun.
  7. Random side quests — going to academic talks, volunteer events, free workshops, or taking random online courses (some I never finish).
  8. Writing — I’ve always wanted to write a novel, so I’m slowly working on it.
  9. Tidying — Marie Kondo style, clearing and organizing my space.
  10. Planning — calendars, reflections, setting goals.
  11. Arts and crafts — clay or whatever creative stuff I feel like.
  12. Karaoke — screaming into my mic with YouTube playing on the TV.

Honestly, breaks are about doing whatever you want and enjoying the time off!
