With the recent ban of SPM trial results for pre-university entry, it appears to be that students will be having a lot of time in their hands while waiting for their actual exam results. When it comes to learning, there is no downtime. Learning is not confined in the four corners of a classroom. Learning happens whenever we allow new experiences to happen!
Learning a new language is no longer past time but is a necessity because it helps you to expand your view of the world. Moreover, a foreign language opens up exciting job opportunities for you which could involve travel or living overseas for a period time.

Among the easiest languages to learn include French, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, Italian and Swedish.
Did you know that one in six children cannot swim? Moreover, about 54 per cent of the world's total population can't swim.

With that said, it's important to take time to learn this life-saving skill --- it's one of life's milestones, like riding a bike or learning to read. It not only helps you have a strong pair of lungs but it also helps build your self esteem and independence.

The study revealed that students who participated in music lessons showed statistically higher intelligence quotients. Learning to play music encourages and motivates you to be successful.
The world needs more selfless people. Spend your free time to do volunteer work on a project that is near and dear to you in some way. Recognizing your own ability to make a difference is not only empowering and self-esteem boosting, it can offer life-long rewards in your future personal endeavors (think of scholarship applications). Furthermore, this will help you in your university applications --- you finally have something to write about for extra-curricular activities.
Many young people nowadays have little or no contact with the natural environment. There are benefits of active involvement in outdoor adventures and one of the obvious plus points is physical fitness. Other studies show that involvement in the outdoors improve social behaviour.

It has long been said that 'travel broadens the mind', and recent studies are proving this point!
