Believe it or not spring break is approaching. It is just two weeks away.
The break might have snuck up on students and staff because it is scheduled earlier this school year. Some students are not excited about the change.
“I don’t like it. All of my friends from back home have spring break a week later and I won’t even get to see them,” Darian Mary D’Alfanso, sophomore education major, said.
“I would just like to get the chance to hangout with friends that I haven’t seen since winter break.”
Spring break is one week and is scheduled for March 2 to March 8. In previous school years the break has been later.
Not all students find the break to be too early, some think it came right on time.
“I’ve been overwhelmed with school work because of the snow days and delays that caused for class to be canceled. I desperately need a break, we all do,” Krista Mosco, graphic design major, said.
Historically, spring break is known as being the one week where college students fly to different vacation spots across the country with their peers and go completely wild.
College students from all over the country will travel to popular spring break hot spots such as Panama beach, Punta Cana, Daytona beach, Cancun and many other marketable places.
There are student travel agencies such as StudentCity and StudentUniverse that specialize in finding all-inclusive package deals for college students during spring break. StudentCity is the student travel industry leader that has brought over 400,000 students to different destinations.
Although having travel agencies like these are extremely convenient, students are opting not to go on vacation. It seems that now-a-days more students rather just travel home and take the week off to rest and catch up on schoolwork.
“I’m looking forward to going home and spending a couple of days with my family and getting all of my work done,” Kenia Rodriguez, crimonology major, said. “I definitely need the break. I do not mind it being this early at all.”
If you are going to be in the Philadelphia area during the break and need something fun to do, there are many options.
Students can hop on the train and travel to South Street to sight see, enjoy the restarurants downtown or get some shopping done.
“That’s probably one of the best things about Cabrini. Being so close to Philly and having easy access to just hop on the train and get away,” D’Alfonso said.
Whatever you may decide to do with you time off, use it wisely. The short seven day hiatus will end and classes will resume to finish up the spring semester.
