After series of rigorous class works, tests and exams, what every students look up to is the final bell that signals the coming in of an holiday. It is a very fascinating period in the academic calendar as a Lot of students anticipate eagerly for it to commence.
Prior to its commencement, especially on the last day in school, there are a couple of students who had already packed their luggage ready for the journey ahead to their destinations. It is a period I always looked forward to in school.
It is the period to get back to your parents; see your old friends; go camping; farming with grand Pa; acquire new skills etc.
One thing you must consider is that the holidays are usually a very short period of time. So maximizing this period and making great use out of it is what I have tried to enumerate here.
Some students can decide to just spend their holiday by doing virtually nothing. Even waking up early becomes an herculean task. there are lot of productive things you can do during this period that can help you both academically and socially.

For me, I always try to spend my holiday with a relative of mine who lives in another state or that lives very far from my home, especially in the village. During my stay there, I always try to familiarize myself with the new environment, learn the peoples culture and their way of life. There are always new and exciting places to visit. Places like their local cattle ranch, rivers, waterfall, village square, caves etc. If you are a city type of a guy, spending your holiday in the village won't be a bad idea. Life in the village is rather soothing and calm away from the noise and pollutions from industries and vehicles in the cities. Getting to find out how the villagers survived with little or absence of any basic infrastructure will leave your mouth agape. It is also place to take those wonderful nature pictures and savour the cooling effect of the natural breeze. There are a lot of tales to tell your friends back in school. Certainly, no dull moment I must say.
Another very wonderful way to a make the best use of your holiday is to sharpen up on your culinary abilities. There a lots of dishes you love to try out but due to the unavailability of time and your busy school schedules, it has remained pending. Now is a great time to go into the kitchen and make things spicing up with that great aroma you've always wanted! You can try your hand on a new dish and surprise the family with your cooking prowess. Suggest giving the family a nice evening treat. Get all the ingredients ready at the grocery store and make sure you follow the cooking manual judiciously to avoid making a mess. Even if the outcome is not what you would have envisaged, but at least you tried doing a new thing and with time you will become a master in the craft. I'm sure even the family would appreciate your effort greatly in learning a new culinary skill.

This holiday period also avails you that opportunity to acquire those extra skills you have always dreamt about. Have you fantasized about learning how to play that musical instrument? Or you wished you were able to make those lovely designer dresses and glamorous hairstyles you've always seen on TV? Perhaps, you always wanted to speak confidently to a large crowd? Now is your chance to do what ever you want. You can become anything if your mind conceives it and your heart works towards it. Try to make every second of your holiday count by engaging yourself in one productive activity or another. There are tons of what you can do but try to limit it to the one that really makes you happy.
Having a few bucks is not a bad idea. You can enjoy your holiday by applying to work as a sales person, store keeper, account officer etc in a firm. I'm pretty sure that a lot of firms would be looking out for bright persons to help them manage some sections of their establishments during this period. Examples of such firm include but not limited to grocery stores, book shops, commodity store, clothing and accessories etc. Working with any one of these forms would definitely boost your customer-seller relationship, salesmanship and general behavioural conduct to strangers. At the end of the day, you have a few buck to utilise.
Never allow your holiday to be a total waste. Try and make the best use of it. Let your holidays be a holiday. Do not bring your school work into it unless of course, if it is necessary. Nevertheless, make sure you do at least one exciting and a memorable thing that would still be there with you for a very long time.
