hey, guys! summer vacation just started for me, and iām super excited about it! there are so many things that you could do during summer vacation, so i figured that making a list of some ideas that i had would be fitting for the first official day of freedom hehe :-))))
get that sleep that you missed out on!!
take a nice bath, listen to your favorite songs, eat something niceā¦ whatever it is, just relax and enjoy your day
clean and organize things from the previous school year
itās good to throw out old handouts that you donāt need anymore. i like to file away important papers / notes that i think that i might need again in binders and folders. after that, you could neatly put it all away in a box or on a shelf or wherever you wish!
not saying that you canāt do this, but some of my friends made a bonfire from all of their old assignments and then roasted marshmallows :ā)
hereās my post on organizing systems for school that might help you out
hereās my post on studying over breakĀ
review old material from the past school year
preview new material for the classes that youāre taking for the following school year
learn how to do something new
edx, coursera, and khan academy are great places to start for online courses
codecademy is also good if you want to learn how to code
ask someone to teach you a new skill like sewing or crafting
learn how to cook (basic start)
not really cooking, but if you just want something easy and quick to eat, hereās my post on study snacks
