Spring Break 2019. Many people I know spent this time at the beach or somewhere else with the new friends that have made in college. Instead of going on a vacation, I opted to go home. This is a decision I am so glad to have made.

Being an out of state student, means I do not get to go home as often as I would like to. Spring break was only the second time I had been home all semester and was most likely to be the last time I would go home before the spring semester is over.

At home, I did not do much. Sure I did see my friend's vacation posts, but I feel my vacation at home was just as great. I got to be back with family and take a much-needed break from the seemingly endless cycle of homework, quizzes, tests, projects, and papers.

Not having so much stuff to do allowed me to relax as well as exercise more. It was nice to not have a certain time to go to something by, I had the much-needed freedom to enjoy what I wanted without any time constraints.

I took a fun day trip with my mom and just enjoyed spending the whole day together since we haven't done that as often.

College, while being a place I love, has taken away quality time with people back home, This spring break, although it flew by too fast, was just what I needed and has given me the peace I needed before tackling these last six weeks of freshman year.
