Let’s be honest, school sucks. 

Ok, not exactly, but I think we can all agree that going on breaks makes us realize how much of our physical and mental health we neglect in order to perform academically and socially. And 2 weeks is honestly just not enough time to recover from the stress of school. Here are some reasons why I think spring break should be longer. 

I had to cancel my 6 week glamping trip from Japan to Peru because of WT

I was really looking forward to reconnecting with nature after spending 23 hours a day on TikTok. I really needed for that my mental health.

The private jet stopped working so we needed more time to repair it

It was literally such a pain in the butt. Don’t even get me started. I just want more empathy from administration.

My family’s all-inclusive OceanGate submarine trip to see the Titanic is longer than what WT offers 

So you’re telling me that if I want to explore the culture of our world’s past, I can’t make up my missed work?!?! I think that’s counterintuitive because I’m still learning. But, oh well, its not like I was going to make it up anyway.

I had to make sure my mansion in Calabasas was still there

Since we haven’t stayed there in 5 years, we had to stop by to make sure nobody stole it. It was honestly such an emotional rollercoaster. And just for that I think I should get an extra week off to cope.

My frequent flyer miles were about to expire

And that would be a real tragedy.

I LITERALLY DON’T WANNA WORK

Even though my parents pay nearly $40,000 a year for me to be educated, I just can’t find the motivation to care. Y=mx+b, don’t care! Mitochondria, don’t care! But I’ll be fine because of my trust, so it like doesn’t even matter.

All in all, I think WT should extend spring break for the mental health of its dear students and faculty. It’s hard to live a life like mine, and I really think its time for WT to start addressing these pressing issues we face.
