Spring Break From A College Student's Point Of View

Spring Break. It has been circled on every college student’s calendars since the first week back this semester. The semester has been full of tests, late nights, early mornings, and a whole lot of coffee. It seems that every professor tries to put a test the week before Spring Break, so the week off is really just a week to catch up on as much sleep as possible. Spring Break is a time to just simply relax. Some students run to the beach, others head for the mountains, others just want to go home.

As a college student, Spring Break was a perfect halfway point. You can look at how your semester is going, take measures to ensure you make the grades you want, and plan how you are going to finish the semester strong. For some, Spring Break is a wake up call. It’s where you realize that there are only a few weeks left in the semester and if you don’t kick it into high gear, you won’t get the grade you want.

But ultimately, Spring Break is a time to where you can put your grades aside, the schoolwork behind you, and enjoy a week of freedom that comes at the perfect time. Spring Break is a great time for a road trip with a group of friends. There’s not a whole lot of time left before the real world hits you and you can’t just drop everything for a week and jump in a car and drive to California.

Not every college kid is going to be on the Gulf coast at some crazy beach party like the ones you see on TV, but should you be weary on where you book your vacation? Yes. Avoid big resort areas on the Gulf Coast and try to find a more secluded spot on the beach, it’ll be a lot quieter, you’ll thank me later.


The most difficult part about Spring Break though is that is really just a preview for what’s down the road in a couple of months. It’s a small taste of what summer is. Some may call it a tease. But the reality will set in when Sunday hits before class starts the next day. We are still in class and summer is still a few months away. Let the countdown begin.
