At last, the stress reliever we have all been waiting for has arrived. It's spring break time for Minnesota State and students can finally put their books and laptops to the way side for a week of indulgence.
Some will travel to the warmer regions of the world, while others might simply choose to stay and chill in Minnesota. From volunteering to help the less fortunate to boozing in a best friend's basement, students' spring break plans are as varied as they come. But that's the beauty of it.
The week is yours, so do with it what you will, but make your decisions wisely because March 15 will arrive before you know it and it will be back to the same academic routine we are all so eager to escape from. So, put the pause on stress this week and enjoy yourself.
The possibilities are endless, so even if you aren't flying out to Mexico or some other exotic destination, it's still possible to have an awesome spring break.
If you're staying in Mankato, look forward to the blazing hot 40 degree weather and watch the ice and snow melt away and flood the sidewalks. Make the most of the projected heat wave and try to refrain from the indoor hibernation we have grown accustomed to this time of year.
As always, make sure to take care of yourself and be in control of what you do.
Spring break should be about enjoyment and although there are many other things to do, many people will probably spend the week drunk. If that's the case for you, be aware of your situation - who is around you, what you have and where you are - and stay safe.
It would be a true shame for the Reporter to have to cover the news of missing, indangered or seriously injured students when we return,.
If you are going to drink, give the keys to a sober friend. If you are going to hook up, use protection. And if anything too crazy comes to mind, it's probably time to for you to go to bed.
There's a fine line between indulgence and over-indulgence.
