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.
