It’s nearing that time of the semester where students are getting ready for Spring Break 2018. Will they be going home? Are they going on a family trip somewhere close? Or do will they have the typical movie-like spring break and party it up on the coast of Florida? As we near our mid-semester break, I thought it would be nice to ask around and see what people will be up to, and maybe this will inspire others to do something similar!
“This year, I will be driving to Virginia with six friends and will be doing many hikes in Shenandoah National Park, as well as staying in an Airbnb.” -Noah Block (’21).
“Two friends and I are driving from Goucher to Nantucket Island to stay with my aunt, uncle, and grandmother. We’re planning on leaving our days open to adventure, like walking on the beach, no matter how cold it is, and exploring the island a little bit.” -Maddy Hawkes (’21).
“For Spring Break, I get to go home! I will be spending time with my family, and most excitingly, will be getting my wisdom teeth out.”- Lily Mikolajczyk (’21)
As you can see, many of us will be staying on the East Coast, especially those who have their homes out here. This spring break may even be the best one of your life so far. Why not make plans to go somewhere fun with friends? Or go on an adventure and visit some place you have never been before? Here are some cool ideas from people traveling outside the east coast for spring break:
“I am going back home to Northern California and a few friends and I are going to go on a road trip south to Santa Barbara. We are going to make various stops along the coast on our way down, and drive Pacific Coast Highway.” Antonia Pettit (’20).
“For spring break this year, I will be travelling to Los Angeles, California, with the Women’s Lacrosse team to play a few games, bond with my new teammates, and have a few fun adventures, one of which will be going to Six Flags.” Maya Bass (’21).
“I’m going to Fort Myers and will be visiting my grandfather and his girlfriend. While there, I plan on visiting many beaches, getting in as many hikes as possible, and exploring the area on my bike. Most importantly, I’m excited to be in the warm weather, and to be able to catch some rays and get a bit more tan for the second half of the semester.” –Amelia Meier (’21).
California seems like a popular place to venture to for break.The Sunny coast, warmth, and great people, make it an overall good place to be in late March/ early April, especially when the east coast seems to be wanting to stay chilly and full of rain and snow. All in all, everyone tends to have a good spring break, no matter what they’re off to do. So make this one count!
