Spring Break
This year spring break does not have the same meaning for me. The “break” in spring break means that I am literally going to break from all the homework I was given to do over spring break. Over the past three years of high school I have never had homework over break until this year. It is my senior year. I need a break from all the homework, scholarships, life decisions, and tests I have had recently, and also my senioritice is kicking in hard core. I don’t want to do homework when school is in session first off, so why would I want to do even more over a break?
As students we need a break. The stress level is rising as the time dwindles down till graduation, and I don’t know when I might break. I come to school, do all my homework, stay up late studying for tests, apply to a million scholarships, and what do I get? More homework. I could be playing tennis, hanging out with my friends, enjoying the beautiful weather but no. I can’t enjoy break when I know I have a mile high stack of essays, projects, and reading to do.
if I was going on vacation, there would be no way I could get all my homework done, and that would get me a big fat F in the grade book, hurting my GPA. Already I know that I will procrastinate to the last minute to finish everything, so I’m just going to say I’m sorry in advance if my work is not up to pare, but lets be honest, this is my break and homework is not on my radar until the Sunday before we go back to school.
