Give Me a (Spring) Break!!!
by Melissa Reed
Thanksgiving. One week. Spring Break. One Week. NO. It’s not fair. I would rather have two days for Thanksgiving than only one week for spring break. We get quite a few breaks throughout the first semester, but once second semester hits, the days seem to blend, and the work becomes monotonous. We need those two weeks to recuperate, regroup, and even rethink school. It’s a great opportunity to visit colleges and universities you want to go to and decide whether it is really a good choice. I don’t think one week is enough, especially when most of our parents work full-time jobs. It’s difficult to take time off to visit colleges, and even if you drive your own car, you might need money to pay for gas or food or lodging. Final word: two days Thanksgiving and two weeks for spring break.
