Planning helps to give people direction and helps them to stay on the right path of what they want to do. Therefore, a plan is like a compass and is very necessary during vacations because some people may tend to be lazy when they have more free time. How do students feel about making and following a plan for their vacation? CBT conducted a survey of 200 CBNU students to find know about their plans for this vacation.
CBT asked, ‘Do you make a plan before the vacation starts?’ More than 90% of the students answered ‘Yes.’ The contents of the plans were mostly ‘to study for my major and English.’ Students also answered ‘to find a part time job to earn money’ and ‘to take a trip to get experience.’ On the question about why students don’t plan for their vacation, 21% of the students replied that ‘Planning is difficult.’ The most common answer, ‘I plan, but I don’t keep my plan well’ was given by 71% . We can see that the students who don’t plan also have had experience in planning but don’t plan now because their previous plans were ineffective.
CBT asked, ‘How well do you keep your plan?’ 47% of the students said, ‘The plan annoyed me’ and 43% replied, ‘I didn’t have enough time.’ We should take notice that there are many students who don’t keep their plans because their purpose is weak, not because their plan goes wrong.
To the question about the necessity of a plan, 89% of the students felt that planning is useful. 60% of the students who don’t plan for vacations agreed that planning is useful. Furthermore, 91% of the students who plan their vacation think that a plan is useful. These results show that both the students who plan and the students who don’t plan agree that planning is important.
