It's Break Time

Thesaurus answer: time-out, recess, respite

Every semester a break (usually in the middle) a break is given. During the fall semester you get the Thanksgiving break. In the spring you get...well spring break. I have had plenty of spring breaks, but I never have had a "spring break" experience. I for one am not very fond of traveling. So every spring break, I go home and spend time with the family. I will be honest I shower probably 4 times for the 8 days I am home (when I'm at school I shower at least once a day). I just like to relax and share some stories with my family. Another reason I like to go home is to make a couple bucks. I have a job at home, which most people do, and it helps pay for social funds (ohhh you know what I mean) for when I get back. Even though this might seem like the longest week of my life, it is a good stress-free break. That is why I feel they have the spring break. To relax and enjoy yourself. There are plenty of ways to spend the break, so just make it memorable and make it for you.

The World of Class

Class is a whole new idea for the incoming freshman. This is probably the first time in life when you realize that your parents won't be there to come wake you up or force you to go. You have the opportunity to become your own person. It's a strange feeling and one that you must accept. Personally, it scared the living shit out of me. I had to set my own alarm and had to make sure I was responsible enough to get my work done. But no worries. Once you get yourself in your own groove, then you will be able to become your own person. You will meet new, fascinating people that will not only be there 24/7, but can highly influence you with simple things.
When I say simple things, I mean that they will be able to help you eat at a specific time, and show you what is the most important subjects to concentrate your precious time on. Oh by the way, this will probably be the first time in your life that you feel you have no money. Don't worry about that because the bank of D-A-D-D-Y will still help you for the time being. Just get accustomed to sparing your funds. It is a long semester and the money has to last.

First thing when you come to college, a whole new experience awaits you. If you have your own room at home, that is going to change, get used to sharing four walls with someone else. Also, you probably are going to have to hit the reset button on your friends, because it is time to make new ones. For you to the have the best possible experience away you are going to have to branch out socially. You want to get to know people and be able to get "connections". When I say that, I mean you should know some people who will be able to give you knowledge of certain activities (i.e. Parties, Sports Events, etc.). Also, it is a good idea to become friends with a couple people over 21. I'm not going to tell you why, I hope you can figure it out.
