All exams are finally over and you have time to breathe again. After a few days of doing nothing, you want to do something (more or less) useful with your time again.
1. Back home again
You often promise your parents that you'll be home soon, but that doesn't happen that often. Now you finally have time to go back home for a few days. Not only will you make your parents and old classmates happy, but look at it, you'll be taken care of for a week. You don't have to worry about the household and you'll finally have properly cooked food again.
2. Redesign your apartment
Now you have time for small and large projects in your home. Maybe you just want to frame some new pictures or even a new wall color. Believe me, such a transformation is not only beautiful for the eye, but also for the soul. This way you can start the next semester with new energy. If you don't know where to start or could simply use inspiration, I can recommend HOME magazine. Attention, allmaxx insider tip: You will receive the HOME magazine as a free subscription for one year if you sign up for the allmaxx newsletter.
3. Do an internship during the semester break
Since most courses require a compulsory internship anyway, you can use your time now. Nevertheless, voluntary internships are also highly recommended, as they show on your CV that you have improved your skills and have passion outside of university.
4. Just come down
In other words: just don't do anything because you deserve it. Turn off your head and spend the whole day on the couch. The particularly cool thing about it is that you don't have to feel guilty about any homework or exam you've put off. Thanks to Amazon Student , you can even stream Prime Video for free and unlimited. But if you're more of a listening type, we also have something for you: Audible will give you an audio book in a free trial month. So grab your device and get on the sofa!
5. Earn money during the semester break
Even if you really deserve a break, at some point you realize that the fridge doesn't fill itself and the rent doesn't pay itself. A part-time job during the semester break is particularly worthwhile because you don't have to worry about insurance or exceeding the maximum working hours. Any part-time job, as long as it is only carried out during the semester break, is exempt from insurance and contributions.
6. Further training during the semester break
I know, you actually want to think about everything during the semester break except your studies, but believe me, you'll thank me next semester if you work on a topic that's no longer entirely on your mind. Thanks to Udemy, it’s no longer so complicated and bad. There you will find online courses on a wide variety of topics and you are sure to find what you are looking for. Thanks to the clear explanations and interactive exercises, you will be able to tackle all topics faster than ever. Of course, you can also find all other topics on Udemy that have nothing to do with your studies. So why not actually use your free time and learn something completely new.
To prepare yourself even better for the new online semester, you can also take a look at the Back To School Sales from Microsoft and Apple . With these offers, which are only available for a short time, you can think about whether your old laptop, which overheats when you start it up, is still enough for your studies. Because with a stylish new laptop, the current online courses are a lot more fun.
7. Party without a guilty conscience
A particularly useful pastime for your semester break is of course partying. Otherwise you'll never be able to celebrate without having to worry about deadlines or having to get up early. Head to the park, your favorite club or the next festival and enjoy the holidays. Because for the next few weeks, when you hear the word GmBH, you should no longer think of business administration, but only think of “go get a beer”.
8. Self-discovery
This point is very often underestimated. Now you finally have time to really look into yourself and see whether you are still on the right path and are really doing what you imagined. This could relate to your studies or even a new hobby. The large selection of self-discovery courses at Lecturio can help you become a happier and more contented person.
9. Go on vacation
Just leave everything behind and treat yourself to a break. No matter whether you prefer to drive into the mountains as an adrenaline junkie or want to relax by the sea, all doors are open to you. Maybe it doesn't have to be that far away and you just want to unwind for a few days. With Flixbus and Europcar you can get great deals thanks to the student discount.
