<p>I feel as though most students at my school don’t have a lot of work over spring break. There’ll be the occasional assignment or like a test when we get back that we’ll have to study for, but I think it’s viewed as pretty much a break from school, not an extended study period. Lots of people are going on vacation, even people in intense majors. I myself am going to Chicago for the first weekend (my birthday weekend!) and going to a few raves and then I’m going to my parents’ house for just a few days, and then I’ll just be bumming around my apartment, lol. But I adore my college town and most people who live here do as well, so it’s awesome.</p>
<p>Yeah, same here. A lot of people had a big crunch of work / exams right before spring break, meaning there ain’t much to do during break.</p>
<p>Eh, I’m a Computer Science major and that basically takes much of the same core classes (Physics) and difficulty as engineering.
Also taking a full year abroad later, so classes are crammed, and I really should be studying harder on my breaks.</p>
<p>Warning: After a lazy spring break it is really hard to adjust back to college, and suffering from it now.</p>
<p>… life of a STEM major</p>
<p>I’m lazing away in Florida catching up on my to-read list (Middlesex, The Paris Wife, Swamplandia!, and The Tiger’s Wife–nothing high-brow). I figure when I leave Saturday I’ll start on my work for next week. No sense infusing my break with work, IMO. Better to have a truly relaxing break than to limp though the whole semester feeling the weight of the upcoming workload.</p>
<p>There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being lazy over spring break. Looking back on my spring break experiences the last three years in PCB, Ft. Lauderdale, and most recently Key West, I’m proud to say that they’ve been some of the unhealthiest, craziest, and most fun experiences of my college life. No, chances are those trips probably didn’t help my grades out too much, and definitely don’t do wonders for a checking account, but these are the stories I’ll be telling my kids one day when they ship off to school. Spring break is there for you to relax and do whatever you want, so if work is your thing, more power to you, but there’s nothing wrong with bumming it around the house for a week. You have plenty of time to work, only some much time to be a bum. To quote the late Freddie Mercury, “These are the days of our lives”</p>
<p>now that sounds fun ^ much better than my spring break which has just as much studying involved but far less fun.</p>
