Spring break is a time that most students use to relax and take a break from schoolwork. Everyone has always heard the cliché phrase that “college students go to Florida for spring break,” but the mystery still remains as to what do college students actually do for spring break?
What most college students at Tennessee Wesleyan are actually doing for Spring Break is… go back home. Whether that home is an hour away or a couple states away, that’s where most students go to relax for a week and refresh for the second half of the semester. Many students, whose homes are far away, do not get to see their families and friends back home very often. Spring break is a time for them to return to their homelands and spend quality time with friends outside of the grounds of Tennessee Wesleyan.
On the other hand, many students decide to go on a trip. Some members of the soccer team are going down to Florida for the week, while the basketball team will hopefully be travelling up to Ohio for a basketball tournament. The choir is also using Spring Break to host its choir tour. This year, the choir will be touring to St. Louis and singing at various churches in the area. While many students do in fact return home, many students use spring break as a week to travel and relax or spend time with their teammates and fellow club members.
Whether you are going home to spend time with your family and old friends, taking a fun trip, or going to Florida for a typical spring break, remember wherever you are that spring break is a time to relax. Don’t stress about anything! Look on the bright side we only have two months left of school!
