Assalamualaikum..Hello peeps!..it's been a while..sorry blog..
So,yeah,though we haven't finish our first semester yet,but it will be nice planning on what-to-do during our semester break.Even though the weather might not be the best indication,Mid-Semester Break is right around the corner. And while some of you will be off for family vacation, I know a lot of you, like myself, will also be home for Mid-Semester Break.But just because you won’t be able to enjoy the delicious food of other states,relaxing your mind by enjoying the sceneries,that doesn’t mean you won’t still be able to have a fabulous Mid-Semester Break!
Catch up on sleep! Get yourself organized! Enjoy having nothing to do for an entire week! Mid-Semester Break is like a nice little, mid-semester time out. So use it to your advantage, and make the most of your week without plans.Here are six ways to make the most of your at-home Mid-Semester Break.
1. Cross some things off your to-do list.
We all have that list of stuff to get done that’s always at the back of our minds, but that we never actually manage to get to. These to-do items always seem to get pushed aside because you have so much else going on. Well, now you don’t. So start tackling those tasks, whatever they may be! It’ll feel really good to get them done, and you’ll be getting ahead for the long-term!
2. Read a book.
Whether it be a current best seller,a childhood favorite or something you started for class and never finished,just pick up a book and start reading.Lose yourself in another world for a little while and revel in the accomplishment
you'll feel after you have completed it.Bonus point if you don't use a kindle/e-reader
3. Try a new recipe.
For those of you that are skilled in the kitchen, turn on the Food Network and start cooking! Watching shows like The Best Thing I Ever Ate and 5 Rencah 5 Rasa are inspiration enough. You can also check out food blogs like Dapur Tanpa Sempadan and KongsiResipi.com for more ideas and recipes to try! I can barely use a spatula but even I’m excited to try something new over break.
4. Spend some time with your family.
If you’re home for the break, make sure to schedule in some quality family time, whether it’s taking your little sister out for ice cream, having dinner with your grandparents, or participating in a good old fashioned family game night. You may not necessarily be happy to be home for Mid-Semester Break, but I bet your family will be happy to have you, so enjoy their company while you have the chance.
5. Pamper yourself a little.
Mid-Semester Break is an excellent time to indulge in all those beauty rituals you never have time for during the semester. Get your hair trimmed. Treat yourself to a manicure and pedicure. Or splurge on a massage. Whatever you do, make sure its something that relaxes you. Then get some sleep and make sure to recharge so you’re stress-free and full of energy once you’re back at campus.
6. Have a Cinematic Experience, Alone
It’s mid-afternoon and you’re bored on your couch again. What do you do now? You go for a movie nooner special, of course! Play old lady and pay up for a matinee. Use the extra dollars you saved for a small popcorn and waltz into that chick flick like you own the place. Because you do. You’re the only one there.
