Students Disappointed Winter Break Just as Boring as Fall Semester

Students at Texas A&M looked forward to winter break and the end of finals just like any other college students. This year, however, they were disappointed to discover that their daily lives were just as boring on December 10th as they were on December 9th.

“Nothing changed,” sophomore Michael Hadler said. “I used to look forward to break because it meant that I was able to stay home and play video games all day, but I’ve already been doing that all semester. What can this break offer that’s new? Christmas?”

Without any social obligations to fulfill and no need to be on campus last semester, many found it hard to distinguish between the semester and break. Those who elected to enjoy the fall semester at home now don’t even get to experience the thrill of trying to cram a third of their closet into a suitcase in preparation of visiting their family, as they never left them.

These students hold out hope that this new semester, at least, will bring the change of pace needed to feel something again.
