Students enjoy their week-long Spring break

Good weather, sleeping in and lessened responsibilities. This was a reality for many students during their spring break. Students across campus spent their week-long breaks engaged in various different activities. While some said that they went out of the state in fun road trips, others stayed indoors and enjoyed the lengthy break from homework and tests. Though for some students, spring break was no different because of work or other commitments.
