Semester Break Begins!

Dear Student,

We have completed the first semester of the 2022-2023 academic year. While you have gained new knowledge and skills since the beginning of the semester, you have demonstrated a certain performance in many areas. The semester break is an opportunity for you to take a breath and rest. It's up to you to spend your semester break both fun and productive. During the semester break, you can relieve the tiredness of the busy semester, rest your mind, participate in enjoyable activities, and also revise the subjects in order not to forget what you have learned throughout the semester, complete the deficiencies in the subject and thus make preparations to spend the next semester productively. During the holiday, you should rest while studying and have fun while resting.  This will both renew yourself and help you refresh your knowledge. You should not forget that; A well-spent semester break means a new semester that you will start fresh and have a good time.

DETERMINE YOUR HOLIDAY PLAN FIRST

 The body and mind need to relax and rest a little in order to relieve the fatigue of the first semester and to be ready for the next semester. It is very important to include some enjoyable activities that you will enjoy in your holiday program. 

As Era Colleges PDR Unit, we wanted to share our suggestions with you to prepare an extraordinary semester break plan; 

• Make a list of the things you have always postponed and haven't had time for and make time for them during the holiday, do what you want to do,
• If you don't do sports, start doing sports. If you do sports, you can try different sports during this holiday, for example, you can do yoga during this semester break to rest your mind.
• It will be enjoyable to make a list of the places you have visited and not seen, and you can use your semester break for these discoveries and collect travel notes about the places you have visited.
• For example, you may be interested in writing. How about opening a blog where you compile your own articles while on holiday? It can be enjoyable.
• You can also prepare plans for your family to spend together, you can buy tickets for exhibitions: museums and concerts that you will go to with your family.
•  You can prepare dinner for your family, or even if you have siblings, you can prepare it together and surprise your family with your holiday meal.
• You can plan games and organize mini competitions that you can play at home with your family. We are sure that it will be very enjoyable to play games at home with your family.
• You may have always played computer games with your friends until now, how about designing an educational board game with your friend this holiday? We are sure that it will be enjoyable to play the game you designed with your other friends.
• During these times, games may be a little different; you can ask your family about the traditional games they used to play and plan traditional game days together or with your friends.
• You can go to the amusement park with your friends, where you will have fun and relieve the stress of the season. It will be quite fun.
• If you are curious about the sea, you can visit the Aquarium center where you can see all the sea creatures.
• You can add skiing with your family and playing snowballs to your heart's content among your holiday plans.
• It can be fun to write a script during your holiday and shoot a short film based on the script you wrote. You can show your short film to your teachers and friends next term.
• If you play an instrument, you can compose new pieces during your holiday, or if you do not play an instrument, you can try playing an instrument of your choice during this holiday.
• Don't forget to add visiting the toy museum to your travel list,
• You can learn horse riding and go on nature walks during your holiday.
• If you are interested in science lessons, vacation may be an important opportunity for you to make new discoveries and inventions.
• You can discover your own interests during the holiday, participate in workshops and acquire new hobbies.

 It is equally important not to stray from your studies as much as resting your body and mind during the holiday. The semester break is an important opportunity for you to both review the subjects you have learned throughout the semester and to identify and complete the subjects you are missing. In addition to activities that will relax you, you should definitely include studying in your holiday plan.

  In your study strategy, first of all, new goals that are intended to be achieved at the end of the day, week and semester break should be determined. It is important that these goals are realistic and achievable. Preparing a non-rigid study plan that includes subject repetitions, completing subject deficiencies, reading books and breaks, according to your own schedule and academic success, will help you not to stay away from your classes during the holiday.

 Dear student, as ERA Colleges, we wish you a productive and enjoyable holiday where you do not forget to spend time for fun, rest, studying, chatting, reviewing subjects, hobbies, friends, family and eating healthy. 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS…
