To overcome boredom while doing homework during Tet holiday.
Tet is a time for rest and family reunions, but studying shouldn't be neglected, especially for high school seniors. So how can you have a relaxing holiday while still completing your Tet homework?
Play hard and study hard.
Tet (Lunar New Year) is usually a long holiday, so everyone wants to have fun and relax. However, many students, especially those in their final year, are still worried about their schoolwork. Assignments from teachers or projects they've set for themselves need to be completed during the holiday, so many students sit down to study with the mindset of "get it done quickly so I can go have fun." This lack of focus leads to boredom and ineffective learning.

Take time to have fun and participate in activities during Tet to achieve a relaxed state of mind. Cleaning the house for Tet, going out on New Year's Eve, or gathering with friends... not only won't "waste your time" but will also bring unexpected benefits. After relaxing and feeling happy, you can confidently sit down at your desk to complete your studies.
Playing hard and studying hard is the simplest approach you can take, because focusing on one thing is usually more effective than being distracted by trying to do too many things at once.
Start with your favorite subjects.
Start your studies and holiday assignments with subjects you enjoy to find inspiration for yourself. A small detail can bring you great enthusiasm to complete all your holiday assignments.

Starting the new year by writing a favorite poem or essay, or solving a few math problems, is a great way to get in the mood for a year of studying. This also instills confidence in you to study hard and achieve great results.
Study even while enjoying the Lunar New Year holiday.
You don't need to force yourself to study intensely; you can still gain a lot of knowledge even while enjoying the Lunar New Year holiday with family and friends.
During Tet (Vietnamese New Year), we often visit temples or take long family vacations, and this is an opportunity to gain valuable knowledge. Historical sites and scenic spots usually have information boards so you can learn new things. This is especially helpful for students majoring in the humanities, particularly when facing exams in subjects like cultural management or cultural studies.
Furthermore, Tet (Vietnamese Lunar New Year) is a time for reunions, especially with long-lost friends or those who have returned from studying abroad to celebrate the holiday. Therefore, it's also an opportunity to socialize and learn from each other. From casual conversations, you can learn from those who have studied abroad about how to secure scholarships and adapt to a new environment. If you're considering studying abroad, this is the perfect time to gain experience.
Group study… a traditional but not outdated method.
Students who live near each other can study in groups even during holidays. Group study is very familiar to students, but many are hesitant to visit each other's homes during Tet (Lunar New Year) and therefore skip this method. Choosing a suitable time to study together will make studying more enjoyable and more effective.

However, when studying in a group, avoid situations where both students lose interest in studying and instead go out to play, neglecting their homework.
Don't let anxiety overwhelm you with studying during holidays, as it might not yield the results you expect. However, don't think, "Tet is a time to relax and not worry about studying." If you can find a balance and suitable methods, you can still enjoy Tet while ensuring you keep up with your studies and assignments.
