BE A BUSSY HOLIDAY BEE

College student usually have a 2 month-long-mid-year holiday. Time to chill out big time, right? Guys and gals, you may have a trip planned or shopping spree in mind ( yes, holiday season is sale season everywhere), but don’t let those leisure days make you a lazybones. Here are several ways to make the most of your semester break.

Take an extended year program provided by your campus, extended-year program are open during semester breaks for students who want to improve their unsatisfactory grades in the previous semester, or those who want to get extra credits. This way, the former don’t need to repeat the same subjects during regular semesters, which mean they can finish their study on time. If you take extended programs for extra credits, you may even finish college earlier.

Join an internship program provided by a business company. Google for information about which companies provide intership programs. One advantage of joining such a program is the experience it gives you. You can certainly use it in the future. Another advantage is the allowance you will get after the internship period ends (it may not be that much, but hey, it beats not making any money, right?) when you are ready to apply, don’t forget to get a recommendation letter from your college.
Write article about things you like or know best (or about things that happened recently) and send them to a magazine.

Hand-make accessories of crafts. Knit stuff of wooden craft may sell as fast as foodstuff. Sell them at bazaars, or rent a space at a shopping center. You can also give sample to your friends and relatives: advertising by word of mouth can be quite powerful, you know. If you have a multiply of friendster account, you can post pictures of your products and the prices, and before you know it you will be swamped with orders.

Volunteer fo a non-profit organization, whether it concerns humanitarian or environmental issues. Non – profit organization, wheher local, national or international, need a lot of volunteers who are willing to save the earth and the people who live on it. Being a volunteer won’t make you any richer materially, but it will make you a much wiser person who care more about what is happening around you.
