Spring Break is hanging by a Thread

Spring Break is hanging by a Thread

By Anna Ziegler

                Only two more days left of school, which in total is fourteen more hours of learning. This week is the hardest week for some. The sun is out and all some students want to do is get outside and have fun, not be stuck in a classroom. Spring break is a sacred time for high school students, it is a time to relax and not worry about school work. This spring break has been later than past years, but that is in our advantage because now those who are staying at home have extra nice weather. Last year for those who stayed home were in the riots because the weather was cold and yucky all seven days.

                This year the highs are in the 80s and the sun looks like it is out to play. Do not worry if you are staying home this spring break because you sure enough to have a blast! Here are some activities if you are staying at home:

1). Go to your local Rec-Center:

The pools are not yet open but the recreation centers are opened to visitors all spring break long. The cost is only five dollars to get in for the whole day. Not only does the re-center have a pool but also racquet ball courts and a gym. The closest recreation center to most people is Providence, which is right next door to Falls Church!

2). Have a fun day in D.C:

We are so lucky to have one of the most toured places in the world only fifteen minutes away from us. D.C is packed with so much to see, so take a day and appreciate all that it offers. Also do not forget to see the famous Cherry Blossom Festival which is on Saturday, April 12^th.

3). RELAX:

This is one of the most important things to do on spring break, take a break and relax. School is a major stressor for so many students and that can have some really bad effects on your mind and your body. So go and take a walk around your block or go fill up your bath tub with bubbles. Set time away from stress and just relax!
