Spring Break

Every year schools get a week off for what is called "Spring Break". It occurs in March depending on what school you go to. This year for Kennedy, spring break is a week earlier. It starts March 12th and goes until March 20th.

Everyone looks forward to this break because a lot of students go one a vacation. Usually they go some where warm to get away from the cold here in Iowa. Some people go to the same place every year, some adventure to different places, and others just stay home.

Staying home isn't a bad thing, that's what I usually do except for this year. It's nice to just have a week off from school and relax, get away from all the homework and stress. It's like a week of Summer but not really because it usually isn't warm. But, you still get to hang out with friends and do whatever because the whole week is like a weekend!

One of my favorite things about Spring break is when you follow other people on Instagram or Twitter and you get to see where everyone goes or what fun things they did. I enjoy hearing about where people go and what kinds of things they got to experience.

A lot of Seniors are going to Mexico this Spring break as the "annual" Senior break trip. Every year I see pictures and get to hear about how fun it was to leave home for a little bit and be with friends. They all say that there is never anything to do in Cedar Rapids so it's nice to actually be able to do fun things with their friends. I hope I will be able to experience that trip next year when I am a Senior.

During Spring break there are lots of things to do and lots of places to go, expensive and inexpensive. Do some research, look around, and book somewhere and you'll be having a great Spring break. You can also stay home, catch up on sleep and do your fun things that you do on your weekends. Either way no one is complaining since we don't have school!
