Part of going to a Catholic school means the school recognizes Easter as a major holiday. During the Spring, the Thursday, Friday and Monday surrounding Easter are days off. For many students this is a chance to return home and celebrate the religious holiday with their family. A lot of students stay on campus too, which is what I elected to do. The break will provide me with a great chance to relax before the grind of finals approaches. I’ve been going out to eat and enjoying time with my friends who also stayed on campus. When I’m not with them, though, I’m afforded a great opportunity to catch up on homework, read my textbooks and write some papers that I have due in the coming weeks. All in all, the break is an immensely beneficial time. Whether I choose to relax, be academically productive, or hopefully, both, the break will be very rewarding.
