You’re almost there! You might be feeling the burnout right about now. This is the home stretch! Keep pushing! Just don’t forget that while it is good to be studying for finals, make sure to take a breath! You have been officially studying Chinese intensely for two months, along with your elective. That in itself deserves a round of applause. To treat yourself, here are some ideas to travel to before returning home!

Get your last 火锅或是汤包 (hot pot) because it could be the last time you get it for cheap! You may also begin to start planning out what souvenirs you could be missing to give to your family or friends before you go back home. Make sure to hang out with your language partner one last time, and if you can, get them a small gift before you go!
