Another week break after just one and a half month of studies? I think that’s too much liberty provided by the laws. I don’t agree with spring breaks. I can highlight some benefits of not having spring breaks, or in other words, some problems we students face when we get back at our college life after a short spring break.

Starting school again after the spring break, whether it's a college trip to Mexico, a mission, or being with family, a sentimentality is created that triggers some sort of distraction in the studies. I can say that because my sister is emotional. Every time she resumes her studies after a spring break of ten days, it takes her an entire month to adjust to the schedule and living alone without family. Not necessarily everyone is like her but there are students who are emotive and sentimental, however large or small that scale is. Elimination of spring break would be a prudent option to permit a better stability in school for students.

Alternatively, we should end the term by the end of April and prolong the summer break for students to spend extra time with their families, or trips, or working in a valuable internship. The benefit of long summer breaks combined with internships – where students would be allowed to spend three full months associating with the corporate world.

Today’s youth go crazy and wild in spring break rather than utilizing it usefully. We hear a lot about accidents and injuries and a sharp jump in traffic fatalities in this one week spring break vacations, due to excessive drugs and alcohol abuse. Maybe we should curtail some of that, and focus more on our health and future selves.

It’s a break to enjoy and not to harm ourselves because of some negligence. Therefore, I stand up for eliminating spring break and increasing the summer break. Because people say, “Summer breaks should get a speeding ticket".
