Universities usually give semester break to students after the exams. Sometimes the break is short as 2 weeks whereas other times it goes on for three months. When students leave home for their break they need to do various things some of them have been mentioned below.
Don’t forget essentials
One needs to pack at least 2 days before they leave and before doing this one needs to clean their cupboard. This will help them come across clothes which they haven’t seen in ages which could be worn back in their hometown. During winter one misses the summer clothes a lot such as cute floral frocks. If one cannot wear such clothes at their campus due to weather issues then they should take those to wear back home. Packing boxes from Newcastle would be easier as a lot of things could fit in. However if one doesn’t want to travel with a box then they should opt for a huge travelling back. Apart from this one should take their electronics such as laptop, IPad and chargers. Also if one intends to study during this period they should pack their books.
Get dirty laundry
A university student is always busy with college work such as assignments, they need to clean their place, cook for them and also have a social life. At such it is understandable that they have dirty laundry piling up. If they don’t have time to get it done then they should pack those too. At home they have washing machine which is more convenient than walking out of the campus to do the laundry. If one has a parent who wouldn’t mind then this is the best way to get work done. There could be a lot of new things which one doesn’t use and would want to sell it off. One could take those back and sell it off. Packing boxes for sale should be done separately so they don’t mix with the dirty clothes.
Get gifts and do cleaning
One cannot go back home without taking something for their loved ones. This doesn’t have to be anything fancy and expensive. One could even buy chocolates for their younger siblings which would make them happy. After all these items have been filled in the suitcase, one has to clean the place they live in. They need to remember that they would be out for long so cleaning is necessary. This will also make things easy when they return back for next semester. All the books should be arranged, cupboard should be cleaned and if they have any items such as fruits in the fridge they could give it to a friend or dispose it.
Lastly, once they get back home for holidays they shouldn’t be carefree and mess their room making their parents to clean it. They should be as responsible they are at university and do their work by themselves.
