Woo Hoo! We’re half-way through the semester and during the break we’re going to do some exciting things!
- Being creative
During the mid semester break, why not try something creative? Whether it’s painting, photography, dancing, crafting, writing, or poetry, there are plenty of ways to explore your interests and express yourself. It’s a fun and fulfilling way to spend your time!
- Learn a new skill
This is the best time to step back from your busy university life and invest in personal growth. Trying a new recipe with cooking or baking, mastering a musical instrument, learning to do a magic trick or to play with cards will boost your confidence as well as promote mindfulness.
- Go to events
There will be plenty of social events such as music and art festivals, game and movie nights, workshops, local fairs, TEDx Talks, and comedy nights. Stepping out of your comfort bubble to meet diverse personalities and ideas would be an awesome experience. Check the new Student Events calendar and Eventbrite for social activities.
- Coffee shop socialising
We all love the cozy vibe of coffee shops. The smell of coffee and pastries instantly lifts our mood. Whether you’re reading a book or chatting with friends over your favorite drink, it’s a therapeutic experience. Don’t forget to capture these beautiful moments!
- Get involved in sports or physical activities
For a healthy university life, being physically active is important. Take your chance to play a sport, try out Yoga, Pilates or dancing. At La Trobe we offer various sports clubs with free memberships. Get moving and enjoy the rush of adrenaline!
- Explore Australia
Australia is filled with wonders! Exploring new places will be thrilling. Camping, hiking, visiting historic towns, touring attractions, and relaxing on beautiful beaches with loved ones will create perfect bonding moments.
- Go for a picnic
Picnics are a great way to escape during the mid semester break. Just pack your favorite snacks and fruits, head to a nearby park or lake. You can paint, read books or simply enjoy hanging out with your friends to talk and laugh for hours. Don’t forget to bring a blanket with you.
- Rest and recharge
To make the most out of the mid semester break, you need to invest time simply to relax! Meditate, listen to relaxing music and sleep well. This will help to unwind and recharge for the upcoming study weeks.
Explore these wonderful opportunities, enjoy your time with friends and family and most importantly have the best mid semester break ever!
