Holiday!

For most students, at this very moment, you'd either be very stressed with last minute college assignments or very stressed preparing for the upcoming exams. No, don't fret, this is not a how-to-survive-studying/prepping-for-exams-without-killing-yourself post.


Let's talk about plans that lie beyond the exam halls instead.
Remember the exhilarating feeling you get just as soon as you've handed in the last of your exam script? Yes, let's just focus on that feeling of giddy joy and relief. Are you one of those who has no idea what to do during a three-month summer break (aside from working and earning extra money to buy more clothes/shoes/make-up)? Here are some suggestions:

  • Go on an expensive extensive holiday. Alone, with nobody to bug you but the sand in your eyes and the sun on your skin. Who says beach holidays need to be expensive? Local beaches should do the trick. Bring a book, your favourite pair of sunnies and lots of sunblock or tanning oil. Oh, did I mention that no means of communicating with the outside world is allowed?

  • It is everybody's...or rather my own, dream to visit Brazil one day. I've read extensively about the Amazon Rainforest. I've also read that they have mosquitoes the size of your bloody palm. No kidding. Donating blood would be the right thing to do for the mozzies, no? But daydreaming aside, why bother going for an exotic holiday when you have rainforests in your own country? Do the necessary arrangements, drag a few friends along and go see some animals/trees.

  • Remember those staggering piles of novels that you have at the corner of the room, all of them waiting to be read? Challenge yourself a little, see how fast you could finish reading a book (and yes, that means page by page, not every alternate page *rolls eyes*)
The point is, why worry about your impending doom exam results when time is so much better spent on doing something you actually enjoy, right? So have fun while you still can, yes?
