Happy spring break everyone!

This week marks the first week of spring. We can already feel the weather getting warmer and the days getting longer. It’s the perfect time to go outside and enjoy the sunshine!

It also marks the week that students at USG are off for spring break! It’s the perfect chance to catch up on well needed sleep. For those of you who have traveled or are traveling for the break, here’s wishing you safe travels! For those who stayed home for spring break, hope you are taking advantage of the break!

I have come to the realization that, even though it is still a break, we may still have homework at the back of our minds. If you need to find a quiet place to study and do homework, the Shady Grove campus is still open during the week. Feel free to bring your text books to study and get homework done (I know I am).

If you are one of those students that is using the break to catch up on homework (like me), that’s great. However, it is still critical that you take advantage of this break. Maybe you can use the free time to catch up on tv, or hang out with your friends.

My point is, the break is also therapeutic. Having the chance to relax and refresh can help you become more successful in your academics when you return from the break. It gives a momentary pause from the stress of the classroom.

Some activities you can do over the break is going to the beach, hanging out with friends, going for a hike, and more. There are many ways to spend your time!

My advice to you – don’t waste your entire break on homework and study. Go out with your friends, sleep in if you want. You may regret not taking advantage of the break when you come back for classes.
