How I Spent My College Holidays: Learning, Coding & Healing My Mind
Holidays are usually a time to relax, hang out with friends, and escape from books. But this time, I decided to take a slightly different route.
I used my college holidays to grow—not just as a student, but as a person.
I spent most of my vacation improving a skill that I’ve recently fallen in love with: coding. And in the process, I discovered something unexpected—blogging helps my mind feel lighter and brings me happiness.
A New Beginning with Code π»
I’ve always been curious about how apps and websites work. During college, I didn’t get much time to explore coding deeply.But the holidays gave me the perfect opportunity to dive in.
I started small—learning basic programming concepts, solving problems on coding platforms, and building simple projects.
It wasn’t always easy, but with every bug I fixed and every program I completed, I felt a sense of achievement that motivated me to keep going.
Why Coding?
Because it challenges me in a good way. It pushes me to think logically, stay patient, and never give up. Plus, coding opens up so many career opportunities.
I want to be future-ready, and I believe this is one step in the right direction.
Blogging: My New Happy Place ✍️
At the same time, I started writing blogs—just like this one. I didn’t plan it at first, but writing down my thoughts has become one of the best things I’ve done lately.
I tend to overthink a lot, and sometimes that leads to stress and even headaches. But when I write, it feels like I’m having a conversation with myself. It helps me release the pressure in my mind.
Blogging makes me happy. It feels honest, personal, and healing.
Whether I write about coding, life experiences, or random thoughts, each post makes me feel a little lighter.
What I’ve Learned So Far
1.Time is precious—use it wisely.
2.Learning something new can be tough, but also super rewarding.
3.It’s okay to feel overwhelmed, but never keep it all inside.
4.Writing can be therapy.
5.Small progress is still progress.
Looking Ahead π
As my holidays come to an end, I’m not sad. I feel proud of how I spent this time. I didn’t just relax—I grew. I want to continue both coding and blogging even after college starts again. This is just the beginning of my journey, and I’m excited to see where it goes.
If you’re reading this and you also feel overwhelmed sometimes, I suggest you try writing too. It doesn't have to be perfect—just real.
Thanks for reading. π
