Although spring break takes place in the middle of April, lots of students and their families have already planned what they are going to do for their time off. Plans range from traveling outside the country to staying at home and hanging out with friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sophomore Hallie Goldstein is excited for her trip to the Bahamas, explaining, \u201cI\u2019m very much looking forward to it! I think it\u2019ll be really nice to get some time off from school and relax.\u201d Hallie hasn\u2019t had a break from school in a while, and is excited to go to the beach. Sophomore Jessica Li, who doesn\u2019t have huge plans for spring break, agrees with Hallie. She states, \u201c[Spring break] is a very good disconnect from school because you don\u2019t have to go into the building [and] you don\u2019t have to get up early. You can reset your sleep schedule and make it better. There\u2019s no homework due during the week, so it\u2019s just overall less stressful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the majority of students don\u2019t receive too much homework during spring break, it is always a good idea to study for tests, according to Jessica. She is currently preparing for her AP exams, which will take place in May, and she feels like spring break will give her ample study time. She is looking forward to this much needed break because her \u201cstress levels are rising like a tsunami.\u201d Jazzy Dong, another tenth grader, is also relieved to have this break because \u201cschool has been really hard.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, sophomore Sarah Le, who doesn\u2019t have many plans for spring break, is \u201cglad to have time off.\u201d She expresses, \u201cMy schedule has been packed full of softball practices, various clubs, and homework on top of all of that. I\u2019m thankful to have a small break from the chaos of high school.\u201d Sarah is involved in many extracurricular activities in school, and although she enjoys them, she would like a break. Hallie has a similar opinion, stating, \u201cI think it\u2019ll be really nice to get some time off for everyone to relax in whatever way that is for them, whether it\u2019s watching TV, traveling, [or] hanging out with their friends or family. It will be a really nice time to not use our brains for a while.\u201d Having this time off will allow students to pursue activities that they enjoy, while not worrying about the stresses of school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s spring break starts on Monday, April 11 and ends on April 18, making it about a week long. Some students believe that this break is too short. Jessica announces,\u201c[spring break] is definitely too short. You see countless private schools that give spring break for so much longer.\u201d Compared with other schools, Jessica thinks that spring break should be longer than a week. Hallie agrees, adding on the idea that spring break is \u201ca little late in the school year,\u201d being in mid-April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though students have to get through another month of school, they are awaiting spring break and are excited for their travels, hangouts, and extra time at home!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Babiha Kaur, Staff Writer Students at River Hill are looking forward to their upcoming spring break.
