Whole days off vs. half days
It’s almost spring break! I for one am definitely looking forward to the amount of sleep I’m going to catch up on. No more getting up at 7 a.m., oh no. We’re talking about 10 at the very earliest, and then staying in bed for at least another half an hour.
I can’t wait.
Still, some people I’ve talked to say that they would prefer half days off to whole days off. And while they might not have meant spring break, I think that this is a valid point.
Half days are extremely fun because everyone meets up at school, and then they go eat and hang out together when school is dismissed. It’s nice because everyone is already together and can move as a group.
Whole days off mean that people have to actually organize something, and then go through the hassle of getting to the place and then finding everyone. Most breaks, people start to complain in the middle that they’re bored and have nothing to do.
On the other hand, you get to sleep in when you have whole days off. (Can you tell that this sleeping thing is completely taking over my mind?)
I remain purely indecisive (as I have been most of my life). Both whole days and half days have good points and bad points, and I’ll take both of them with equal joy.
