As we are starting the first break of the school year, we are also approaching the first Summatives that we have to complete. While, of course, studying is very important, it is also important to take breaks and pay attention to your mental health, to avoid burnout. It can be difficult to find some things to do, if you are so used to working, but fear not! We can offer a lovely list of activities to try during this holiday.
Enjoy the end of Summer!
With summer drawing to a close, it has steadily been dropping to cooler and cooler temperatures. This unfortunately means the loss of many beloved summer activities, at least until next year. So spend the time during break to hang out with friends at the beach, or even just go out on your own! Make lemonade! Eat some ice cream!
Hiking
As Montenegro is a very mountainous country, hiking is an easy activity to do. And, as mentioned above, the summer is just ending, so the temperature is ideal to be doing it. If you are willing to go on an adventure for gorgeous views, then walking the Kotor Wall or hiking Lovćen to the Njegoš Mausoleum is more than worth it.
Movie Night
2026 has been a strong year for movies, several breaking free of the formula that has haunted modern movie making and becoming iconic. During the break, it is a wonderful time to get through your movie list, and perhaps add some more to it. Take this chance to expand your horizons, and watch things that you don’t normally see!
Clean your Home!
While some might not find cleaning to be relaxing, others find it incredibly calming. If your room or your home has fallen into disarray during this year, you can take some time out of your week to organise it, or even just put the mess on the floor into neater stacks. Your mind will thank you when you don’t need to juggle that with studying for tests.
