Fall Break is Just Around the Corner

by Mohanned Aqrabawi

It is that time of year again: fall break is just around the corner. The time for Thanksgiving; the time for being thankful - thankful that there will be no more 8 a.m. classes for ten days, thankful for no more driving for hours to go to one class, thankful for sleeping in on a Monday morning, and most importantly, thankful for not staying up on a Tuesday night to finish an essay. 


Most of us consider this time to be for relaxation and releasing mental stresses by taking a short break from school. However, as much as I would love to do nothing during those ten days, most of our professors do not see this break in the same way. For them, this is the time of the semester we can use to finish big assignments, get back on track for the semester, and prepare ourselves for finals week. 

You may have noticed that most of your assignments or exams are due directly after fall break. If you think about it, we would only have three weeks for school including finals week left before our winter break. As much as I want to just stop studying, I think this week is very valuable in our semester. 

In ten days we can accomplish a lot for our classes, and I would advise everyone to study - even just a little every day - because at this point the semester is almost over, and this is the only free time available to us to prepare for our finals. I hope everyone has an amazing Thanksgiving and can work hard to get the grades you aspire to have this semester.
