I promise that this article will be short and sweet because no one wants to read during spring break.
That is, unless you are on a beach, working on your nonexistent tan or in my case, skin cancer.
Wherever you find yourself on your last day before spring break, your knee bobs with expectation. Then as freedom's bell rings, you rejoice with unabated enthusiasm!
Hurriedly, you pile an obscene amount of clothes into the nearest motor vehicle. We don't stop to clean the thick, yellow layer of pollen off of your car. What? It adds character!The rubber meets the road and all we know is drive, fast and far.
You are trying to outrun due dates, exams that you wished you'd aced, and any semblance of a schedule. Hurry, lazy days await!Throughout the weeks leading up to spring break, everyone asked you if you'd made any plans. With a mischievous grin, you shook your head.
No plans, no problems seemed to be your mantra.
Eventually, you answered their questions with a list of things that you won't be doing during spring break.
Pencils will not begin smoking because of the ferocity which you must attack each assignment.
You will be cured of 'word depletion.' A disease that affects five out of five students who have exhausted both their dictionary and thesaurus in essay after essay.
The inevitable coffee crash will no longer be a necessity.
No more study sessions in the library. You know the ones where you forget what day it is, and even the smell of fresh air.
Instead you will greet your bed exhausted by fun rather than stress.
Yes, fun, a long-forgotten concept. Essentially, fun means doing what you want to do, when you want to do it, and with whomever you choose.
Gone are the days of sitting in lecture halls wherein everyone pretends to understand.
Gone are the days when cereal was gourmet. Momma's going to help you regain all that baby weight!
Gone are the days when you had to 'student'...at least, for a week.
Yes, Eleven, it is only for a week. Chill, Millie!
Spring break is great because it is our first taste of summertime.
So whatever your spring break plans may be...
Enjoy these lazy days, and see you in a week!
