Spring break! A time of partying? My sad story … I never went on a wild trip. While other students jetted off to the beach or road-tripped with their friends, I was home … it was just too expensive to go anywhere. Luckily, some my friends were in the same boat, so instead of wild adventures, we spent our days hanging out in my backyard. My family had a pool, which became our default destination—not because it was glamorous, but because it was free.
While some people were partying on the sand, I was skimming leaves out of the water, adjusting the chlorine, and making sure the filter didn’t clog. It wasn’t exactly the carefree break I imagined. We made the best of it, lounging in the sun, blasting music, staying up late, sleeping in. We made due with just a tinge of that feeling that we were missing out. When school started again, we had no exciting stories to share—just another spring break spent in the same place! If you went on a cool Spring break … GOOD for you! If you were in my boat, we made it. Happy Spring!
