How to utilize the Vaccations post Board Exam?

It is obvious that after the boards, students want to relax and have some fun, which they missed during their preparation and examination period. They really need a break, but it shouldn’t be too long, as it might turn them lazy and inactive; they will lose touch with their studies; and if things turn around, they might fall into the wrong company, which will cost them later. They must not lose touch with their studies, as the board examination is not the end of their educational journey. They need to know because education is like an ocean where there is a lot to learn.

They can use their vacation period for future planning regarding further studies, like deciding which stream they want to join, what their aim is, what they need to do to achieve that aim, and so many other things. They can enjoy the first and second weeks, but after that, they need to start preparing for their further journey. There are many activities that they can add to their new schedule, as it will keep them engaged and won’t let them fall into inactivity or other unwanted activities.

Things or activities they can do in their free time are:

• Exercise: They can start doing some exercises to keep themselves mentally and physically fit. They can go jogging, running, or joining yoga, aerobics, the gym, or other classes or groups for their better health.
• Hobby: They can start working on their hobbies like dancing, singing, reading, writing, swimming, traveling, cooking, and many more. It will help them learn new things in that particular area.
• Working on Personality: Students must work on their personalities to improve themselves so as to be more active and presentable in nature. Communication skills, interacting with others, reading and writing, confidence, and body and mind structure are some areas where the students must work.
• Internships: Students must start working with some organizations to improve their skills. Whether it is a corporate thing or an NGO thing, they must work to gain some experience and polish their qualities. Freelancing is also a great way to practice your skills and earn money.
• Social Work: Joining an organization or an NGO will help them learn and understand the value of life and the meaning of ethics. They will witness the helpless situation of people and understand their livelihood.

There is a lot to do during the vacation period so that students can engage, learn, and grow. It is just that they need the will to do the activities; otherwise, just laying on the sofa and scrolling through the mobile phones is worth nothing. It is better to understand the need and importance soon for a clear vision of the future.
