Use this break wisely, y'all!
Published for Sunway College, 10 Feb 2025, 10:33 AM
After months of late-night study sessions and cramming for exams, you're finally done with SPM!
It's a huge milestone, so take a moment to celebrate your hard work. But once the post-SPM excitement settles, you might start thinking, "What's next?"
Don't worry, here's a handy guide to help you make the most of this transitional period while still enjoying the well-earned break you deserve.
1. Dive into hobbies or interests you've put off
With countless workshops, tutorials, and online classes available, you can learn at your own pace. For those who prefer something more structured, short courses in areas like graphic design, digital marketing, or coding can open doors to future opportunities.
You can also explore learning a new language or picking up a musical instrument, both of which are rewarding and enriching skills to have.
If you're feeling adventurous, consider traveling with family or friends to immerse yourself in new cultures while creating memories that will last a lifetime. It's a wonderful way to broaden your horizons and learn beyond the classroom.
2. Gain experience through part-time work or volunteering
Working part-time is not just about earning extra pocket money. It's also an opportunity to develop practical skills like teamwork, communication, and time management.
Volunteering, on the other hand, offers a chance to give back to the community. Whether you're helping out at a local shelter, joining a nature project, or teaching children in rural areas, volunteering broadens your perspective and looks great on your resume or scholarship applications.
3. Look into scholarships for further education
Many scholarships have early application deadlines, so getting a head start can make all the difference. Use this break wisely by researching available scholarships, as the application process can take time and effort.
Begin by preparing key documents like your SPM trial results, certificates, and recommendation letters to make the process smoother. Securing a scholarship not only eases financial concerns but also allows you to focus fully on achieving your academic goals.
4. Plan ahead for your higher education journey
Beyond scholarships, this is also a great time to start planning for your further studies. Research colleges, explore different programmes, compare tuition fees, and look into campus facilities and accommodation options to find the right fit for you.
With many Open Days and Education Fairs happening soon, attending these events can give you valuable insights into your future studies. One such opportunity is the Sunway Education Open Day happening on 22 and 23 February, where you can explore your options and get first-hand information about courses, student life, and career prospects.
