feature as good as a Holiday 3.  Change your appearance 5.  Change your everyday routine Summer is the perfect time to get a haircut, relax and get a manicure or a massage, update your wardrobe or buy a new pair of shoes. Shake things up with your fresh new style and treat yourself to something that makes you look and feel fantastic. It will not only boost your confidence and self-esteem, but will have you bouncing into the next semester, ready to succeed! Nothing is worse than doing the same old thing every day, every week for an entire semester… It’s the holidays now, so create some new habits or indulge in no habits at all. Change things up! Go to a different gym class, join a yoga group, try a new café, get up early and go for a run, try a new recipe, apply for some Christmas work or volunteer some of your free time at a charity organisation. The possibilities and opportunities are endless, so grab one that sounds good to you and get into it before it’s back to uni again! 4.  Change your perspective The Christmas holidays are a great time to catch up with friends or family that you haven’t seen in a while and spend more time with those who make you feel adventurous! Put aside some time to have a quality catch up and do something fun together. Head to the PCYC markets for some bargain buys and a morning out or make a day trip to the beach. You can even share the fuel bill and some fish and chips between a carload of mates to make it budget friendly! It’s time for you to go and have fun, relax and pamper yourself. If you don’t have the funds or the time for an exotic escape, there are still plenty of ways for you to reward yourself and enjoy your free time.
