Semester Breaks: A time to Utilise.

HEY SHOUTERS

The feeling we get  once our semester exams end and our semester break starts is indeed out of this world. We feel like to rest and sleep whole day long. Doesn't it feel like heaven? Tbh, I wouldn't get out of bed even if a meteor struck me :|
 But I feel, Sem breaks are the only time which are worth utilizing and spending productively. It's the only period when we have our own time when we don't have any other college related work.






So this blogpost is about the ways one can monetize and spend their sem break in a fun and productive way! Read on to find out more :)


1. Apply for Scholarships and Internships


If there was ever a time to apply, it’s now! You don’t have to spend the entire break applying for scholarships, but even if you devote a few hours to your scholarship applications, it will make a world of difference in your search. After all, it only takes one to win.

2.      Plan Next Semester’s Schedule

What? Here are we searching ways to enjoy holidays and this college crap again?

I know.. But this is the time to get a jump start on planning next semester while you have time and there’s no time like the present!
Additionally, you should start creating a game plan for next semester now, before you get too busy to do so later.         


3Revamp your Resume, Cover Letter and/or Essays
Whether it’s a job, internship or college application resume, cover letter or essays, updated documents are always good to keep on hand at all times – after all, you never know when you might need them!
Opportunity knocks the moment you’re least expecting it so it’s always best to be prepared at a moment’s notice.
As a result, take the extra time during your break to work on all your important documents, adding any extra information you have had since you last updated them.

4Volunteer Work
The holiday season is an excellent time for charitable work. Along with the satisfaction of helping the less fortunate, students can polish resumes and graduate school applications by volunteering. Whether it’s visiting a nursing home, organizing a gift drive or working the phones for a local non-profit, volunteering is a good way to help others while sharpening life skills.                                                                                   
5Take a Holiday Road Trip
Once we leave college and enter the full-time workforce, vacation time is scarce — maybe a couple of paid weeks each year for those who are lucky. Adapting to a five day-a-week grind with little time off can be tough. So, it’s important to seize vacation opportunities when they’re available. A quick road trip with friends or family can generate memories to treasure forever. It’s also a great way to recharge batteries for the upcoming semester.
