Why I Cannot Enjoy School Vacation

Gloria Han ('16) laments the loss of a true vacation from school.

Like any other student, six hours a day at school for five days a week put a strain on me–not to mention the hours of homework put in each night. I find myself counting down the days till December break or thinking about all the things I’ll do when it’s finally summer. I can finally binge-watch three seasons of ‘Friends’, and start that John Green book, I think excitedly. Most of all, I just look forward to a stress-free, relaxing week, spent with family and friends. Sadly though, breaks never turns out the way I hope they will–and I think this goes for a lot of students.
