Above is a picture is a picture of me skying in Switzerland. I love travelling a lot and have been all over the world. To me leisure is all about spend quality time with my family and friends as when i am traveling and on a holiday i am totally relaxed and have no stress. Whenever I have a vacation i set out to go for a holiday with my family or friends even if its just for a couple of days so that we can take a break of our busy lives I truly believe 'It is in his pleasure that a man really lives; it is from his leisure that he constructs the true fabric of self.-Agnes Repplier'

My definition of Leisure

This is a picture of the resort I stayed at in Florida over spring break. If I could, I would spend every single day here. I love relaxing in the sun because all your worries and problems just disappear. You don't think about school or work or things you need to get done. You're able to completely relax and feel the sun beating down on you. Leisure is a very broad term, but to me it means what you do in your free time, time free from obligations and other daily necessities.

My definition of leisure

Above is a picture of mine at Fisherman’s Wharf, San Francisco, CA. I love travelling a lot and have been to over 15 countries and have been almost all over America. To me leisure is all about exploring new places, getting to know different aspects of various cultures and knowing the history behind them. Whenever I have a break, I like to set out to a new place and explore it. For example, during thanksgiving last year, I went to New York and New Jersey and during this spring break I visited California.

Irene's definition of leisure

This is a picture of inn harbor in Victoria, Vancouver, where I went for spring break. One of my best friends in Korea has been studying in Victoria, so I planned to visit her for the week. My favorite activity in Victoria was walking along the beach while enjoying the beautiful view and breezy weather. The warm and cozy wind released my stress from school and soothing view of the beach kept me in calm. Personally, when I enjoyed my ‘fish and chips’ at inn harbor while watching the view that I took above, it was one of the zenith of my vacation. That breath-taking view did not only gave me peace and tranquil, but also gave me excitement and freshness. Everyone has different point of view about leisure; for me, the meaning of the leisure is “freedom.” Leisure allows me to do whatever I wish to do and think. No school projects, no deadlines, no grades nor homework hold me back. I freely can do whatever I want to do which gives me the most lots of excitement and rest during my leisure

Paul Han Byeol Jang's definition of leisure

This is a picture of my roommate and I at a restaurant called Flat Top Grill over Spring Break. Many of you are probably familiar with this restaurant because they have a location near Green St. as well as my hometown, which is Evanston, Illinois. One thing we enjoy about Flat Top Grill is that you can order a buffet. My high school friends and I usually go to this restaurant when we all come back to our hometown; it has developed into a tradition over the years. Eating at this restaurant is very meaningful to me because it lets me reunite with all of my old high school buddies. I really don’t see my high school buddies too often during the school year, so this leisure activity is important to me. In my opinion, leisure is any recreational activity that you enjoy and complete in your spare time. We spend our leisure time eating at Flat Top Grill, so we can catch up with each other. Next month, my high school buddies are planning to visit me on campus and I am sure that we will eat at Flat Top Grill. I think this is the most meaningful leisure activity.
