Spring break is a time for relaxation in the middle of a busy semester, recuperation after crazy-hard midterms, and well, taking a break, right? If only we could be so lucky!

Not only am I not going anywhere tropical like most of my friends—I’m just a poor college student with very limited funds—I have loads and loads of schoolwork to look forward to completing all week.

It’s like teachers save all of the difficult and lengthy assignments for breaks since they know we’ll have plenty of time to complete them. It just doesn’t seem fair. Having due dates scheduled at regular class times, by online submission, just seems like a way to hold classes while classes aren’t in session.

The whole reason students have a spring break is to take a mini-vaca from all of the tests, essays, and projects in order to clear their heads. If all we do is work during this “break” we’ll end up too frazzled to function, just in time for midterms. I’m getting stressed just thinking about it!

It’s scary thinking that once I graduate, I’ll never get a “break” again, only a handful of vacation days that need to last all year, yikes!

Although my spring break is looking majorly dreary, I’ll try to look on the bright side, at least I still get to sleep in and stay in my pajamas as long as I want!

What are your plans for spring break? Are you going on an exciting trip, or do you also have a lot of work to complete? Let us know in the comment box below!
