Tag Archives: spring break

After graduating from college, I underestimated how much I would miss the freedom of a college schedule – having classes for a few hours each day, then figuring out what to do with the remaining 21 hours. After working for five years, I nearly forgot about having this daily freedom. What is even more disheartening, though, is that I forgot about the annual enjoyment derived from having multiple weeks off throughout the year.

Now that I am back in school, I truly cherish these responsibility-free vacations for Thanksgiving, the winter holidays, and one glorious week off for spring break. Yes, spring break. In my late twenties. Awesome.

Since this year and next will officially be the last two spring breaks of my life, I wanted to make sure they resembled the formative spring breaks of my undergraduate years. After much planning and consideration of various constraints – money, location, internship searching, time, etc – it was decided that sailing on a Caribbean cruise out of New Orleans held the most entertainment and enjoyment potential. Thus, a group of us embarked on a graduate school spring break that we would vaguely remember and yet never forget.
