Winter Break Research Paper

During Thanksgiving Break this year, I went to Flagstaff, Arizona. That was the best memory because I can’t choose one specific one! :) I had so much fun in Arizona, and this is what I did.

For a college student, there’s no feeling quite like the joy of heading home for Thanksgiving break (1-Archetypes). Sure, Christmas break is longer and definitely has more presents, but Thanksgiving break is at just the perfect time in the middle of the semester; right before the chaos of finals and right when the agony of missing home is starting to become unbearable. I definitely felt this way during my first semester away from home. The days leading up to the break were full of exciting jitters and anticipation. Finally, just a day before classes officially let out for the break, my mom and brother pulled up to my dorm after their nine-hour drive to Alpine, Texas, ready to pack me up and haul me back to Houston.

Congress has tried making all schools year round because America falls behind other countries academically. This would be fine, but for me and the other kids there are certain needs that year round schools do not understand that they’re lacking. For example, educators need time to prepare for the lessons they need to do for the next school year, taking a break from stress can nullify mental and physical damage to children, and without extended breaks kids they will be burnt out and less motivated by the start of the new year. I feel strongly attached to the sayings of John Lubbock, a famous British philosopher, who said “Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach us more

My 2018 Spring Break was better than usual and began with a great start. For this Spring Break, I went on a Road Trip to visit different college campuses on the northern side of California, a place I had never been to. I went with my program called, LACC Upward Bound that included 34 other students. I did not attend this trip alone and this was great because my friends got to come along on this great experience with me. Arriving to Northern California took about 4- 5 hours and during this drive I took this picture. It is so different from Los Angeles, everything is much greener, beautiful and natural. Our first location was Santa Cruz and the college we visited was UC Santa Cruz. On our way there, I saw many animals like cows, horses, sheeps,

Imagine coming home from school to a car fully packed waiting to go to Fort Walton, Florida. Well that's what I came home to on the last day until Spring Break. We will be going to the beach, swimming, fishing,and more when we get there! I was so excited to leave. The car drive was estimated to be only 10 hours. But on the way a lot of other people had the same idea as us on our trip. Traffic was bad on the way down. There were lots of crashes. Believe it or not there was a backup that was like 4 miles. The cars were bumper to bumper and and it was getting late. In about 30 minutes we got about 1 mile. It was awful! With the bumper to bumper traffic there was another crash. That delayed us about 30 more minutes. We all got grumpy because we

Spring break was for an adventure for me. I did lots of stuff from playing games and watching netflix to camping and exploring. On my first few days of spring break, I just slept in and watched netflix. I personally liked how it started out, i wasn't waking up tired and i was at full power when i woke up. The shows i watched on netflix where walking dead and the OA. Later on in the break i decided to rewatch all the Harry Potter movies and that was one of my favorite part of the break. It took me about 2 to 3 days to watch all 8 movies. After Harry Potter I watched other movies but i mostly Played games like Rocket League and Fortnite. On the last week of spring break i planed last minute camping and sleeping over with my friends in the backyard.

For spring break, I went to the airshow and we brought out the family to go and see it. My family and I enjoyed seeing the air show that day. I also went out many times and walked my dog, which was pretty relaxing and went out for a jog. My other family came over and hung out a few times to be together and made food as well. I had track practice a few times and made me more active and felt better about myself, it was tiring but it was a great way to start my day on a daily basis. I had some of my spare time and got to draw many drawings over spring break because it’s what I like doing the most. Meanwhile my parents would work, I would have to babysit my two younger siblings and they were a pain sometimes but I would find a way to calm them

What would happen if instead of the school year ending with a long summer break, it kept going all year round? Many students and teachers have gotten used to the time schedule that we already have. The school year should remain the same because the students and teachers get longer breaks, have more free time over the summer, and some students have a chance to work a summer only job.

This was the moment that I have been waiting for since the beginning of my senior year. I couldn’t wait to leave cold Michigan for spring break. There was no way that I wasn’t going to Panama City Beach, Florida this year. I heard so many stories from past seniors in my school. This had me watching to go so bad that I made a countdown of how many days I had left until spring break. It was like Las Vegas but just for kids, so what happens in PCB, stays in PCB. This was the place where you would go to create the best memories of your life with your friends before everybody goes their separate ways after high school.

Though it may seem that the large quantity of college students vacationing in a town for spring break would stimulate the economy and bring in revenue, the assumption is distorted. College students are broke and survive only on necessity goods, rather than luxury goods. In other words, they will pay for cheap motel rooms and bad beer, rather than purchasing fancy hotel rooms and expensive alcohol. Furthermore, college students have little income, so they cannot afford to buy souvenirs, seafood dinners, and participate in activities such as parasailing, compared to the families that vacation in the summer months.

Each Spring Break, students flock to their favorite destination place or plan a tropical getaway to enjoy a break from winter storms, school works- midterms & papers. While some students may spend their time off relaxing with Netflix, or catching up on sleep or games, while others may take a more alternative route to the traditional Mercy spring break. I was one among them who decided to participate campus ministry’s 2016 Alternative spring break- Savannah, Georgia.

During winter break, I didn't do a lot of things although I did spend my time wisely enough to do the things that I was planned to do during the break. Most of the time that I have was for family, and some extra time for games. Since my older brother came back one week before my final, I did have a lot of times having fun with him and my parent. My older brother did stayed with me the whole break, and he left on Saturday to go back to UCLA, which was two days before I came back to school. I think that my break was great, and I didn't do a lot of things, but I think that I did achieve all of my goals for the winter break. My best part of the break was when me and my family walking down the street of San Francisco, and during that trip I got

the fist thing i did on Christmas break was go to my uncles house to have a new years party.we had finger foods ping pong,and lots and lots of chicken nuggets.Are family is really competitive so we went up stairs and payed q tennis challenge at first it was 2v2's then it was 1v1's the it was family vs family.if someone lost they would be really mad and throw a fit that they lost.Mos to f the people were really out of it at the party.

When everyone comes back from the seven day break all you hear is how awesome it was, or how they went on vacation with there loved ones and experiensed a new adventure. Therefore, you don't hear about the horrible time others have on the break. People rathert hear about the fun other had then say theres sucked.

I had a great summer break. I did a whole bunch of fun things over summer break. I traveled to cedar point we rode all the rides there. We climbed on another ride till there was no more rides. We almost rode them twice it was so much fun to go to cedar point. Then we played games where you can win stuffed animals and toys. They had a place where you can buy food and drinks. We left at elven o clock didn’t get home till twelve o clock at night. Next as soon as I got home we went to bed. I will go all the time we will travel to cedar point. I am going to go next summer to when we get off again. We also went on a train to look around at cedar point. My sister and I rode all of the rides. My mom and dad didn’t ride all of them they just watched
