We all take it as a rule that holiday time is fun time. We tear off the weekly time table sheet sticking on the wall to celebrate free time.

While having a free mind and a don’t-care-a-wit attitude is great, one must remember that on the other side of the holiday season, your next goal as a student awaits.

It’s possible that your friends may come and ring your doorbell throughout the day. But by

creating a schedule and sticking to it, you can divide your time into fun and study time. This helps your friends understand at what time they should knock you.

Tip: Denote early morning time for studies as it is a time you can concentrate without

getting disturbed.

⦁ Mix fun with learning 

A famous quote says, teach me and I’ll remember, involve me and I’ll learn. Create quizzes

and fun games about your course subjects and involve your friends in this fun filled learning.

Tip:  You can also follow this process of learning for your future goals. If you are interested

in BBA in Finance or university entrance exams, you can create general knowledge and current affair quizzes and learn with your friends. A little competition is always fun.

⦁ Get a career focus with internships 

Many of us don’t have the time to get a first-hand experience of how it feels to follow a career

of interest. Holidays can offer a unique opportunity to do short term internships and gain experience of how it feels to be in the professional world. 

By spending time with professionals in the field of your interest, you’ll also learn which skills

are important to succeed.

Tip: A vocational course may also offer you a certificate of experience that might turn out

valuable in your career later. 

⦁ Look for inspirations

One of the best ways to make your holiday productive is to watch some inspiring movies.  By

trying this tip out, you can rest your mind and replenish your motivation to work hard for your dream college. So, get the popcorn, dim the lights and enjoy handpicked world cinema to expand your perspective. 

Tip: Watch documentaries from different countries to learn about their culture, values and

language.

⦁ Polish your talent

Lastly, holidays give you an opportunity to work on your talent. You may be good at designing

or writing, you can use holidays to turn your passion into profession. Always wanted to pick up the guitar and play the tunes you love? Now is the best time to find a teacher and get going!

Tip: Many professional distance learning courses in India can help you polish your talent and get the essential certification to create a successful career out of it.
