Campus calling: How our CJs hone their skills and make use of free time

This week we take a look at how students plan to hone their skills, take up new hobbies, do social work, and engage in activities they missed because of boards.

Holidays are often a time of fun and boredom. As students prepare themselves for the long break, our Campus journalists (CJs) plan to make the most of this downtime.

Some of our CJs have thrust themselves into internships, while others work from home or are blogging and catching up on their favourite novels. There also a few who have taken up online courses, while other are doing some volunteering work. (HT Photo (Combo image))

Last week we showed you how the CJs are dealing with the stress of admissions and registrations. This week we take a look at how they plan to hone their skills, take up new hobbies, do social work, and engage in activities they missed because of boards.

Some have thrust themselves into internships, while others work from home or are blogging and catching up on their favourite novels. There also a few who have taken up online courses, while other are doing some volunteering work.

Pick up a new instrument, learn a new language, or wipe the dust off those novels that were ignored over the last two years. There could be no better time to work on your personality before college.

Get out of the ‘lazy mode’ and start working on yourself. This is not the usual, slow summer, but one that can add feathers to your cap or leave with regrets. So make the most of!
