I'm Staying Home for Spring Break Here's Why

For spring break most people look at it as a time to go somewhere warm with their friends, enjoy some fruity drinks, and time away from the stress that is associated with school. For this year I'm staying home and I couldn’t be more excited for this time away from the stress of school and to see my family again.

Anyone who knows me is going to look at this article and wonder what the hell I’m talking about because my family is only 15 minutes away and I'm privileged enough to go home whenever I miss them.

Although this spring break will be spent mostly catching up on reading that was assigned over the semester, but like most others got slammed with it because I waited til the last minute, will be spent doing said readings. So while I do my readings at home I will also have time to annoy my little brother, have a fight or two over something stupid with my mom, manage to piss my step dad off, and probably step on my dog's paw at least once.

But that’s OK because I will be with my loving, caring, supporting family. Well supporting unless it's something they don’t approve of. Now some of you might have realized that I sound slightly not so eager to see my family for spring break but make no mistake I do love them, they’re a wonderful bunch, and while I've been at school I missed getting yelled at for leaving a glass on the table for more than five seconds, and woken up by people running around the house, oh and what I’ve definitely missed the most is finding out that since we moved our assigned diner table seating has too changed, and so it results in me playing musical chairs to find out exactly which seat I’m supposed to have because God forbid I sit in my step dads seat then I practically get launched out of it. Maybe on second thought I would much rather be on the beach…

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
