Why Spring Break Should Be Two Weeks Instead Of One

We need a break! A real one!

Why Spring Break Should Be Two Weeks Instead Of One

Spring break is the break that is much needed at this time of year. Midterms week has currently run me into the ground, and even my health is going down hill. I'm ready for a break.


Now spring break is next week and I'm beyond excited to see my friends from home and my parents, but I'm also working two of the days and I'm gonna need a day to just sleep.

But then, POOF! Spring break will be over. Just like that. And I'll be back in my top bunk on a Sunday night, dreading the start of the class again on Monday.

This is why I petition that Spring break is two weeks long.

I need a week to sleep, catch up on my favorite shows and eat real food!

I also need a week to hang out with my friends, work a little (so my bank account can survive the rest of the semester) and maybe take the big "spring breaaaaakkkk" trip everyone goes on.

I would much rather go a week longer in May or sacrifice some other random days off to have two weeks off. I'd be ready to go back to school after two weeks.

Think about it. In the Fall, we go on thanksgiving break for a week and then we come back and we only have to deal with two more weeks of school before we go home for winter break. After spring break, we have an entire month and a half of classes before summer break! That's a long time. We need that extra week to rejuvenate ourselves and come back refreshed!

Then we will be greeting school after those two weeks like this:

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
