Pros

• College apps are over. The seniors are counting: 18 weeks of school until graduation.
• Spring Break. Sweet freedom.
• New movies and TV show seasons. *cough cough* “Finding Dory”
• March Madness makes us go mad.
• New school supplies. Slide out the #2’s and fresh packets of paper, you’re going to need it.
• The weekend between semesters that you have no homework. Enjoy it while it lasts.
• Chaco/shorts season throwback. Dig through your closet and break em’ out.

Cons

• Not enough breaks. Yeah snow days count, but what happened to the two week funfest called Winter Break?
• 8th grade orientation. Hey look! It’s fresh meat!
• Meeting new people. All your friends from first semester have mysteriously disappeared.
• AP Testing and SATs. Motivation is at zilch. No one remembers anything from that English or math class taken a year ago.
• Too hot. With the heat comes the itchy mosquito bites and annoying bees. Don’t even mention the wasps.
• Valentine’s Day. To all the single people: it’s okay.
