At first glance, the idea of Spring break looks like an opportunity
for students to skyrocket their screen time. This idea is especially
apparent among underclassmen because of the lack
of income, but the common negative factor of money doesn’t always
have to be an obstacle. Students can do many things to entertain
themselves without staring at their screens. One thing that students
can do to organize and create goals is to make a bucket list.
Making a bucket list can help people stay on track toward activities
they want to accomplish in the future. Stanford Medicine states that
“making a bucket list allows us to reflect on our values and goals, and
identify important milestones and experiences that we want to have
in our lifetime.” Some of these experiences can range from practicing
basketball to skydiving.
There are lots of students who have many goals that they would like
to achieve over their Spring Break. Sophomore percussionist Abby
Sovsky says, “I want to spend a lot of time drumming to improve my
skills and to achieve my goals”. Abby shows that spring break can be
productive, and can help people reach their goals. Students can also
catch up on anything that they may not have had time for during the
school year Junior Abby Hauschild proves, “The free time I have over
spring break will be used to catch up on unwatched TV shows and to
catch up on well-needed sleep to get through the rest of the school
year.”
If a student struggles to figure out what they want to do over their
break, there are still lots of ideas to try and achievements to make
that can be done at a very minimal cost. Enjoying spring break is pos-
sible, even on a low budget!
