Despite the fact it is snowing beautifully (or evilly, depending on your perspective) as I type this, spring break is next week. I asked Ivy Tech Northeast’s students what their plans were. None who responded were saying “so long” to northeast Indiana and its truly bizarre 2015-16 winter for the week, but let’s be honest: You don’t need to flock to the sunshine to enjoy a week off.
Here’s what some of our students are up to for spring break. (And feel free to share your plans in the comments section!)
“No fun trips for me. I will be unpacking and decorating the house my fiance and I (moved into last) weekend. Oh, and I will be studying for two tests I have the week we get back from spring break.”
Elizabeth Ward, Healthcare Specialist
“Over spring break, I will be participating in the Urban Plunge. We will be going to approximately seven facilities and volunteering.” (Learn more about Urban Plunge at the United Way of Allen County website.)
DeYonna Jefferson, Criminal Justice
“I will be spending my spring break cleaning my house and getting ready for the busy spring. I have four kids who are very active in soccer and softball, and once practices start, my life is hot dogs and popcorn.”
Stefanie Hicks, Human Services
“I am spending spring break with my daughter. She (turned four on Wednesday), so we will be having her birthday party during spring break and enjoying Doctor Day at Science Central, along with several other birthday parties and a carnival in Leo. It will be a fun-filled week with my daughter.”
Ella Bashop, Accounting
“My spring break plans are to get ahead on my school assignments while watching my favorite TV shows on Netflix!”
Ma Thazin, Visual Communications
