Spring Break at BYU

So first of all I’m really excited that my family is coming out for spring break to come visit me. However because BYU decides to not have spring break I get to juggle my time with my family AND my classes. I think BYU should have a spring break because everyone else is going on spring break and it would be beneficial for most students to finally have time to spend with people outside of BYU, go visit family, or go a short vacation.

I cannot understand why BYU decides to give us days off of school before finals to study instead of donating those days to spring break. Yes, I know that BYU wants its students to study more for finals, but when a college student has a day off, there is no time for studying. There is only time for hanging out and procrastinating.

I would like it if BYU at least gave us two days for spring break, such as Thursday and Friday. This way they can still reserve a few days (which is enough) for studying for finals and we, as students, get enough time to relax our minds from the daily stresses of school.

Overall I would like to have a spring break like everyone else. The students, who would like to have days to study can just study during spring break if that’s really what they want. I believe that most BYU students, if you take a vote, would vote that BYU should have a spring break for its faculty and students to enjoy.
