Spring Break

Many different sources were used for this article. I hope you find it both interesting and helpful.

Spring break is that wonderful time of year when students of all ages and their teachers get that most needed break from all those learning activities preparing them for life as responsible taxpaying adults. Spring break also allows the parents of younger students a break too, and gives them an excuse to plan a vacation away from the normal day to day grind. It gives college students an excuse to break away from their normal responsibilities as well go to some exotic location where they can lose all their inhibitions. (We’ve all seen those advertisements for “Girls Gone Wild”!! to put it differently.

Spring break usually occurs either the third or fourth week of March, and sometimes even the first week of April. This is the time of year when all those living things that have been dormant for the winter months, begin to rejuvenate from increased sunlight and warmer temperatures. This principle does not just apply to plants and insects, it applies to human as well. Unless you live in Hawaii, most areas in the United States go through either a subtle or drastic change of seasons, leaving all of us ready for the green grass, flowers, and fresh smelling spring rains that bring everything back to life. Especially in the northern most states, all that snow and cold, and the extra chores that come with it get sort of monotonous after awhile. If it’s a realistic possibility, why wouldn’t you want to get away have you ever considered.

There are many options for how to spend your spring break. It depends on a bunch of different variables; money, time, and resources being the most important. If you don’t have all three it just isn’t happening. Once you do, you need to decide where you want to go and what you want to do. Maybe you don’t want to go anywhere, maybe you just want to spend a week at home catching up on all those things you never have time to do. That may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but of course, it an option, and that’s why we are called individuals. Whatever you decide to do, I’m sure you will have a great time. You may just decide to put the kids in daycare and save your vacation for another time, it’s all up to you. You can just sit back and watch clips on the news, MTV, and the Entertainment channel of everyone else having a good time! Or not to illustrate my point.
