Okay, so although I started this list off seriously, I realized that I am probably not the only person that gives themselves unrealistic goals for every break. Numbers 13-19 I am being hyperbolic, but honestly, my "ideal fall break" would include these impractical objectives. Although it is important to push yourself to improve over breaks and throughout the school year, it is equally important to take the necessary break you mentally and physically need to excel once back in school. So please, try to use these next few days of break to relax and feel mentally-prepared to work hard again once back at school.
