The summer season is in full swing across most parts of India, with temperatures soaring up to 45 degrees Celsius in many places.
This year, giving students some respite, the Ministry of Education has announced a 46-day school break, starting from June 1 to July 16, for all government and private schools across the country.
As we prepare for the long summer vacation to escape the scorching heat and enjoy quality time with family, it's crucial to focus on thoughtful planning rather than making last-minute, mindless decisions.
To help you plan your summer vacation with ease, we've got you covered with the top tips and tricks. Check them out.
With the 46-day school break just a few days away, it’s the perfect time to start planning. Make a list of at least 30 places and activities you want to experience this summer, and then narrow it down to the most important ones with the help of your parents or elders.
Once you've decided how to spend your 46-day school break, be sure to buy tickets for travel, events, movies, and other activities that require an entry fee in advance. Last-minute rushes can be costly and might even derail your plans, dampening the vacation spirit.
You can certainly indulge in some treats during your summer break, but it’s crucial to eat healthily and stay hydrated throughout the 46-day school break. To help with this, pack healthy snacks or keep stock that won’t spoil easily.
Take out your vibrant, breathable summer clothes for a fun-filled vacation. Remember to wear loose-fitting, breathable attire to stay cool in the scorching heat, and always protect yourself from UV rays by wearing long sleeves, a hat, and sunscreen. Choosing an outfit wisely is crucial, regardless of whether you're travelling or living in the same city.
This point is equally important: to make the most of your 46-day school break, it's crucial to recognize what’s truly important and what can wait for later. While some may find it difficult to prioritize, remember, it always takes practice to master this skill.
