School is a balancing act. You have to know when to work and when to rest. Having a social life, connection with other people, is simply one more ball to juggle. Though this is true we still go out of our way to find time for friends. ‘It will be there when we get back,’ we say, and we shut the computers, throw the books down, and head for the door. Papers have to wait and study materials lay dormant while we are out forgetting the roles of a full time employee and a full time student. That’s the way it should be and sometimes we just need a break from the perils of life in general. Talk to people that you haven’t seen in a while or the people you only texted over the phone this whole semester, it will be refreshing to see them face-to-face when you haven’t for so long. With that, I bet we are all thanking our lucky stars for this being the last day before spring break. I know I am.
Let me tell you guys: you should relax when you can and be supercharged to end your semester, or even your schooling here at Corning CC, when you get back with four weeks to go. Use the services that the staff and Student Life here have created for you to aid in the reaching of your goal; the various learning centers and the Academic Study Center (at the lower level of the library) are waiting around just for an opportunity to help you succeed. The collection of staff and students that work here would be happy to see you walk through their doors. Use them, that’s why they’re here.
So put away your books and go someplace interesting. Focus on you for now; focus on having fun and forgetting the world of college stress as you lean towards spring break. You’ll have people here to help you when you get back from your long-awaited vacation.
