While my good friend and co-editor Megan Moore has expressed that spring break needs to be shortened or extinguished for the sake of saving, one’s schedule, I’m the polar opposite when it comes to Spring Break.

I want it to be two weeks instead of one.

First off, when I work on something, I give 110 percent into that particular project. The downfall of this is that I tend to burn out way too easily. By the time Spring Break rolls around, I am nearing exhaustion and just about fed up with everything altogether.

I have a schedule as well, but mine is rather loose. It’s so I can adapt quickly should something important come up. Although I do work and study on my designated hours and days, I feel that I don’t get enough sleep. In essence, I’m the typical yet non-traditional college student.

I used to have a full time job and kept to that schedule and I had plenty of vacation time. Two weeks paid, to be exact.

So why am I going in the opposite direction when it comes to Spring Break? Other than recharging the batteries, this also lets me focus on other things, things such as my internship, time to partake in family activities and a nice few days to go about and travel to a log cabin with friends.

Also, this may give others some extra time at their jobs to make more money, or allow folks to simply relax and kick back without the looming worry of assignments or exams.

I know that this is merely a pipe dream of mine, but it’s bad when I feel like a weeklong break isn’t long enough. The first week could be dedicated to having a good time in South Padre, in Panama City, or simply sticking at home and kicking back, while the second week could see myself and other individuals finish up on a project or study for an upcoming exam at a leisurely pace.

This idea may be unpopular, but I don’t mind an extra week of class. But this extra week could be dedicated to finals, rather than having to take a Friday and Saturday final exam.

Also, for those are student workers, wouldn’t be it nice to get paid for one more week before having to search for a temporary summer job?
