Everyone, we did it.

The first and only "main" break of the semester has arrived.

How did we get here?

When the semester started, we all had new schedules. We had classes that we liked and classes that we weren't so keen on. We walked into our classes and saw our professors and sighed, another school year to tackle.

Honestly, you don't know how much I've been looking forward to this break... unless you, yourself, are a student.

A time away from the stress of school and all the accompanies it.

So many people fail to understand the immense amount of pressure put on college students.

They fail to see how hard we work and how much pressure we're under.

We deserve this break.

After the countless papers and exams. The pop-quizzes and the lecture halls. The projects worth way more than any one grade ever should.

I know this is a small milestone in the whole big picture of things. Most of us have a whole spring semester to do, and that's just to get to summer break.

But this milestone deserves to be celebrated, because it took a lot of work to get here.

So eat a load of turkey or enjoy that weird tradition. Soak up the sun if you're one of the lucky few to head on vacation. Use the time to celebrate the fact that our football team remains undefeated! Relish in the fact we've almost made it through this semester.

We deserve this. We're almost done.
