It’s your week
Make the most of this time away

Well kids, Spring Break is right around the corner. Actually, looking at the depleted student population, many students have opted to skip their remaining classes to add a few extra days to their week off.

Sure, we could take this time to tell you to be safe and watch out for the numerous hidden dangers that await Spring Breakers. Or we could stab your conscience and try to convince you that you should take this week to help the less fortunate instead of partying in South Padre.

But we’re not.

Instead, we encourage you to make the most of your time off.

Take this week and do whatever it is that makes you happy. If you choose to spend your days helping those in need, fine. If your plans include sleeping until noon, lounging around until 5 p.m. and then going out with friends until 3 a.m., then so be it.

If there’s a certain road trip that’s been in the works for a while, then get out of Fort Worth and go. Even if your only plans are to spend your time taking shots and then passing out until you’re sober enough to start again, that’s OK too.

For seniors graduating in May or December, this will be your final Spring Break. Make this week count. Do something you have never done before, or just sleep through the week. This is your time to have fun and make memories, or not, it’s up to you.

For the rest of the students, this little vacation comes right on the heels of those pesky midterms. Take some time to breathe and relax. After Spring Break the only other time off we’ll get between now and May will be Good Friday, April 13.

When classes begin again March 26, it’ll be time to get back to work and concentrate on finishing the semester. But don’t worry about that now, just have fun and go crazy.

Oh, and don’t forget to be safe.
