The YS sembreak calendar

Just because school’s out doesn’t mean you can’t stay busy. Through mixtapes to movie marathons, filling up your sembreak should be a piece of cake.

MANILA, Philippines - We get it. There’s nothing more tempting than to spend your sembreak in a catatonic stupor. Three weeks of movie marathons, minimal showers, and twister fry deliveries? Sign us up, stat.

But you know, loafing around the house is only fun for so long. Making a dent on your sofa from overuse is straight up uncool and, quite frankly, a little sad. And you know how your skin sounds and feels like a Band-Aid when you finally peel yourself off the couch? Um, gross. Word of advice: don’t be that guy. Nobody likes that guy.

When you’ve decided to haul ass to the shower, it’s time to get busy. To help you plan out your sembreak itinerary, we plotted out a few cool things happening in town that might tickle your fancy. From calligraphy workshops and multi-arts festivals to trying your retail luck at the new H&M, we dare say your sembreak will never be the same again. Best part is, you can partake in most of these activities with some twister fries in tow. Don’t worry, we won’t judge. Too much.
