Spring break is definitely an enjoyable break from school, especially because it is a weeks break from school. But one benefit of not having a spring break is that we get out of school a week earlier then all of the other universities. I have always been the one to leave the best for last. This makes getting out of school earlier more enjoyable for me because when my friends are doing their finals i can sit back and enjoy life with out school as they're stressing out. Another way to look at this issue is our classes are only 50 minutes long and between semesters there are a set amount of days between each semester and adding a weeks break could create the issue of making all of our classes longer. I enjoy only having 50 minutes in class and then moving on the next class. If we had longer classes we would be in school for a lot longer and I am sure that isn't the option that anyone is going to want.
While spring break is happening for all of the other schools BYU students aren't happy but i am sure after finals that we all will be happy to be done sooner. This can usually apply to every situation where we have to wait to gain a reward when others can have it sooner. For example if you're doing homework and you see that your friend is outside playing your favorite sport you're definitely going to be jealous. But then when you finish your homework before him and get to go and play your favorite sport, he will regret not finishing his homework sooner so that he could enjoy playing that sport with out homework on his mind.
I like that last example that you used. That is exactly what I like about the system at BYU. I've skyped a few friends and they all say that they cannot concentrate at all on their work now because they just want to still be on break
