As a student, holidays planning is a recurring element in managing your calendar. Taking advantage of the breaks provided for the main celebrations is actually useful to regenerate a little or, for those who need to prepare for an exam, to have more time to acquire new knowledge in relaxation.
This is even truer for the off-site students in Milan, for whom the holidays on the calendar can be a good time to rejoin their loved ones.
Understanding that organizing what to do in time during the holidays is essential to improve the management of your activities, let’s now try to understand how to do it more effectively.
During these times, almost all the off-site college students try to go back home. Of course, nothing prevents you from staying in Milan, where holidays can be experienced and celebrated in the best possible way, but, in the vast majority of cases, students will tend to go back to their loved ones in order to take a nice break from their university routine.
Most likely, as the holidays approach, the off-sites would like to return to their place of origin. Too bad for them that most of their colleagues will probably do the same, as well as many workers who are employed far away from home. As a result, there will be a strong demand for plane, train and ship tickets, and a concrete risk of not finding any seats.
Better to be prepared and buy tickets several weeks or months in advance.
The academic calendar provides appropriate breaks for the most important celebrations of the calendar. However, the exam session is very often set just before – or shortly after – the closure of university activities. It is therefore advisable to organize yourself in the best possible way: make sure your travel dates do not interfere with the exam session scheduled by your university department, so that you will be able to take all of your exams.
There is nothing worse than coming back from a holiday and finding your accommodation messy and dirty, with many chores to be done. It is therefore better to tidy up your apartment the week before your departure, so that you can comfortably start again with your off-site routine once you are back.
As we have clearly stated above, the organization of your travel home requires a great deal of care. We recommend that you carefully plan the days and the transport to be used, in order to optimize the effectiveness of each one of your journeys.
Going back to studying after the holidays is not always easy. That’s exactly the reason why it might be a good idea to get gradually reacquainted with it, perhaps taking the first day after you’ve returned all for yourself. In this way, getting back in the off-site student groove will be much easier and less traumatic.
In this brief analysis we have tried to take stock of the importance of a conscious planning and we have also reminded you how important it is to coordinate your travel with the right times and days.
You will be able to handle your trip back home for the holidays in an easier way, thereby avoiding running into unpleasant surprises and misunderstandings that could disturb the relaxation and serenity you deserve during the breaks from your life away from home.
