Semester break is here again for the students to enjoy their vacation. While most of them had planned a vacation outside or inside the country, some may spend the ˜vacation at their home. It may not look fun but lots of things we can do while at home. Most of us might think that it is a humdrum to spend the semester break at home when it is actually the best place to spend some quality time. So, here are the five list of things that could possibly be done by us at home during the ˜vacation.
1. Watch lots of programmes on television
While many of us think that it is such a waste of time to just watch all the programmes on television, it is actually something that the students enjoy at home. Here, in the campus, you rarely have time to watch television. The only programme that you watch (probably) is football match. Other than that is just some boring stuff. Whereas, at home you have the full control over the television. You can watch any programme that you want, unless you have to fight with the sibling on what channel to watch. So, why not enjoy the moment of having full control on television. It is a witty thing to do.
2. Learn how to cook or bake
This may sound like a girly stuff to do if you are a boy, but it is totally worth learning something new. There are plenty of tutorials that teach us how to cook or bake. You can watch the cooking show on television, or simply tune to Youtube and watch a video on ˜how to bake a muffin. If you are kind of an old fashion person, just borrow your moms cooking book. Besides that, after going through all the hardship to learn some new recipe, your family got to fill their stomach. Now, both you and your family will be happy for the dishes that you just cooked.
3. Decorating room
How many of us think that it is just not enough decoration inside the room? Or too much of decoration that you just feel like peeling it off the wall. Too simple and too much will get you some new idea on the decoration. Sometimes you have some vision of what your dream room would look like. May be you got inspired by some photo of a room you saw on the internet, or you watched some drama and saw the decoration of the actors room. Thus, why not use your free time to rearrange your room and make it looks like a new one. New arrangement always sparks new energy.
4. Relax
Throughout the semester, you might feel like there is too much pressure to handle assignments, quizzes, examinations and everything else that are associated with you. Thus, semester break is the best time to relax your body and mind. You can finally use the time for yourself. Do anything at home that can make you calm and serene. The best thing about home is that the only place that people go to find peace. You can also spend some quality time together with your family, relaxing together, enjoy some hi tea and talk about anything that relish you.
5. Help lightened parents burden
The fifth thing to do while having a ˜vacation at home of course, helping your parents do houses chores. This should be the utmost thing to do while at home. When you help your parents, somehow you will feel happy because you know there is something that you can do to make them happy. For sure they will feel blessed to have a child who are always there to help and diligent. Our parents had worked so much all through our mellow. From a baby until you are an adult now. Eminently they had burdened themselves just to see us grow. So, why not go back home and help them with the house chores. Make it as a bonding session with your parents. They will love it.
Despite all the hardships you have gone through the semester, going back home must be the best and breathlessly thing to do after having finished the final examination. So, enjoy your ˜vacation and make it a memorable one.***
