Fall break is a chance for students to take a breather from school and all the stress they are going through and do some things that they enjoy doing.
\nSome students may or may not be going out of state over the short Fall break but they may be doing something just as interesting near home. For those students that are not going to other states over their break they may fantasize about what they want to do or where they wish they could go, for instance; Senior Karl Faulstich says, \u201cI probably won\u2019t be going to Florida,\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 [I wish I could go there over Fall break].\u201d Every one knows what Faulstich will be dreaming about over his Fall break.\u00a0 A lot of students go to Florida over Christmas break for the warm weather, Fall braek doesn\u2019t allow much time for a long vacation. Freshman Camdon Hisey says, \u201cI am going to Oklahoma.\u201d As one can see there are some students that are going out of state during the short break. Freshman Sarah Puglisi says, \u201c[I will be] going to Disney World [over Fall break!]\u201d Students have fun experiences whenever they get the chance and this break is a good opportunity\u00a0 for them to get out here and have some fun. Freshman Breanne Morrow says, \u201cWe are headed to Kentucky, touring The Kentucky Derby.\u201d That is something that most students have probably never done that she could share about with her friends.<\/p>\n


\nWhen it comes to reality, students may be doing less pleasant activities rather than exploring the Disney characters, during their time away from school.\u00a0 Faulstich says, \u201cI will be working and practicing football.\u201d Many students are involved in out of school activities, such as sports, clubs, work or other things that take up a lot of their free time. Howerver,\u00a0 Hisey says, \u201c[I plan to] sleep, a lot.\u201d\u00a0 Some students may just be planning to catch up on some sleep they may have lost from waking up early for school. Puglisi says, \u201cI expect to have fun and miss friends.\u201d Of course students do not get to see all of their friends over Fall break. Morrow says, \u201cI plan to ride horses, view where the Kentucky Derby is and go to warm campfires.\u201d Being outside during Fall break and being active is something most people can enjoy.\u00a0 Junior Ryan Evans says, \u201cI plan to practice football, watch football and eat.\u201d Evans will be spending most of his break involving sports and food which may be a relaxing time for him.
\nEach individual student may have a favorite part about Fall break.\u00a0 Faulstich says, \u201cMy favorite part is when it starts.\u201d Of course his least favorite part is when it ends.\u00a0 Although he has a broad opinion of fall break others have a more specific opinion about certain things they love about the short break.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Morrow says, \u201cI plan to go outside and hang with family only cause I have no electronics.\u201d Electronics may play a good role in whether students stay inside rather than outside. The down side of Fall break is that the sun hides behind the clouds and barely peeks through, the weather starts turning cold and it is hard to do a lot of things outside. This may be a contradiction because most students said they planned to spend most of their time outside with friends and family playing games.
\nFall break is a little shorter than most other breaks but students are still getting involved with things they normally do not during school. Spending time catching up with family, friends and maybe some sleep is what Fall Break is all about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
