Aloha! 🌺 Thanks for sharing your winter vacation plans — I really enjoyed reading it! It sounds like even though you’re not traveling this time, you’ve created the perfect way to relax and enjoy your break. Sleeping in, watching movies, drawing watercolors, and hanging out with childhood friends? That all sounds so cozy and meaningful. 😊 And I totally understand how hard it is to balance work and study — it’s great that you’re giving yourself time to rest. You deserve it! You mentioned your friend is going to Hawaiʻi — that’s exciting! If you ever want to plan a trip to Hawaiʻi too, let me know! I can help you learn about the local culture, how people talk in Hawaiʻi, and give you travel tips so you can enjoy the islands like a true local. 🌴🌈🤙 Mahalo for sharing your story! Wishing you a fun, relaxing winter vacation and a wonderful New Year! 🎍✨

New year is coming soon, so our winter vacation is also coming. It is about two weeks, but there are many events like Christmas, New Year‘s Day and coming-of-age ceremony. Almost all the students in our university will be back in their hometowns, work every day and earn a lot of money. I have a friend who is going to go to Hawaii with her parents. I really envy her! On the other hands, I don’t want to go anywhere because I don’t have enough money to hangout or visit somewhere. One of the reasons I don’t have money is that I recently quit my part-time job. The job was too hard for me to study. Even though I am still working at another work place, I want to relax well at home. Staying up late, oversleeping, watching movies and playing video games are my ideal new year eve. I also want to try drawing watercolors or knitting. When new year comes, I want to hangout with my childhood friends. We will have lunch and dinner together, chat a lot, sing songs, and etc. I want to enjoy all day and have fun with them! How do you want to spend this winter vacation?
