Spring Break Comes for College Students

That’s right; it is Spring Break time. The time where college kids plan a mini vacation that usually involves a week of drinking, parties non-stop and wet t-shirt contests.

This is the week where college campuses turn into one giant ghost town. There is not one person in sight and you will definitely be able to hear a pin drop from a mile away. If your lucky, you might catch a glimpse of a tumble weed rolling down the sidewalk.

I think of this week as stress free, no worries about homework week because we all know that if a college student does not get some sort of break, brains might fry.

What am I doing for spring break?

Nothing.

I wish I was able to go away for an entire week just lounging on a beach, catching up on my tan. Instead, I need to spend my time worrying about making money instead of losing it all on a vacation that can wait for the summer.

So for me, spring break is a time to get ahead with homework and treat myself to a haircut.

Hope you all enjoy your break!
