While you’re on break over the holidays, it’s easy to get into a lazy mode where you sit around doing nothing with your days, letting them mesh into one long continual nap fest.
While there is some value in getting shuteye, there’s only so much rest necessary and, to be fair, you do have other, more important things to do.
We have interviewed 16 students from EIE on how they will spend their summer/winter vacations and what we got was mostly…. “Umm… Just a short 3-4 days trip OR No plan!
Don’t worry if you haven’t decided on what to do! We’ve compiled a handy list of helpful suggestions of things you could, should and will likely want to do over your holiday break.
So, make the most of every moment!

Global exploration

If you have a chance to go abroad without concerns money, would you go? If you are in your 20’s or university students, you can make the chance by yourself! There are ‘global exploration’ activities payed for schools or companies.  LG global challenger is a famous activities provider and Dongwon has a similar one. This time I will introduce Ewha’s activities. “Global Exploration” is a program which considers goal oriented proposal involving travel. The proposal is accepted bt the school, you can go abroad with school funding!

 I interviewed two groups participating in this activity. One group has already gone to the USA. I interviewed my friends, Ji young Cheong. Ji-young and her team’s major is nursing. Through this trip, she can set the goal for become a nurse. Before on the going trip abroad, she doubted her career goal and wondered whether to become a nurse or not, because she thought that only nurses have auxiliary roles in Korea. So they set a plan to go U.S and visit hospitals, universities and institutions for about what nurses do. During the trip she was impressed that the nurses in America have more rights to deal with patients. Unlike Korea, nurses can diagnose illness, so they can create hospitals without doctors. After the 10 day trip to the U.S, she is now studying the test for nursing in Korea, and plans to go U.S to get certification. She strongly recommends Ewha’s Global Exploration program. 

 Another team will depart on January 11th. Their goal is to visit many universities in the U.S, and get an idea eco-friendly building. They also look forward to applying this idea to Ewha’s new dormitory. “During last semester, our team can do self-directed studies.” She said.




Travel

There are a lot of very beautiful travel attractions in Korea. Among them, the most popular place that the Ko-rail Train tourist center(Nail-Ro people) have selected is Suncheon in Jeolanamdo. They said it is a nice and gorgeous place because it show its local color and beautiful nature. Especially, according to my experience Suncheon bay garden in Suncheon is the most exquisite place to visit for you
There is Suncheon bay garden in Suncheon. Also there is a common reed field to welcome you and observation platform to see fantastic scenes. When you first arrive at Suncheon bay garden, you go to inner place and the common reed field spreads out before your eyes. This common reed field makes you feel comfortable, peaceful and calm and if you could go in the early evening, you will see the most fantastic scenes the sun setting in the horizon.
Similarly, there is the same tour attraction such as Suncheon bay garden. It is Yongsan observation platform. If you could go to the inner side, you will see the mountain and route that goes to the Yongsan observation platform. You climb the mountain for a long time but this observation platform is a wonderful place. When you arrive at the top, you can see the whole of  Suncheon bay garden . Also, you can see sunrise or sunset in this position. It is very fantastic and dreamlike outlook that you will never forget. 
In this winter vacation, if you hesitate where to go, we want to recommend Suncheon bay garden. If you are disappointed with your old vacation and you want something special, choose Suncheon bay garden!    



Meditation program

I asked people a question that “Have you ever meditated? The results was 88% of students hadn’t experienced  meditation yet..
So I will tell you how good a meditation is. If you want to get refreshed, how about join university camp? The main topic of this program is meditation. It can help you to look back over your career and reflect on yourself. you can find your potential during mediation and dismiss anxiety. There are many students who are concerned about their future and depressed because of their human relations. However mediation can help to recover your relationships through considering other’s mind. Student’s reviews are fine and great. The reviewer said that meditation can help people overcome selfishness with a thankful heart. Despite our busy lives we can experience slow life and individual time.
