Spring break, give me a break!

The idea of spring break is for college students to relax and take a deep breath before the final stretch to the end of the semester right? WRONG! The professors pile on so many projects that a student ends up spending their entire break in the library, in front of a computer screen , or with their noses jammed in a book that weighs twenty pounds. There is no break, only a reprieve from actual class time to catch up on shit you haven't done yet, needs to be done for right after break, or the shit that should have been done three weeks ago. The headache of trying to make sure you get everything done in the seven or so days you have off is hampered by the fact that most of us have to work on top of school, have families, and the fact that Easter is this weekend. I really would like to pull the covers over my head and blot out the world, but instead I am up to my armpits in paperwork, and up till 2 am trying to come up with a coherent thought. God help the college students, because no one else will!
