Mid-Spring Recess is very close. Amidst the flurry of spring term that seems to fly by, it appears that we have made it to the end of April. For many, spring recess is a sign of relief, a checkpoint, and an opportunity to rest or even go home. On the other hand, for many seniors, the Mid-Spring Recess marks the beginning of the end, the final stretch before graduation that inches closer year by year.
For those staying at SPS, expect the usual all-star SNL lineup featuring trivia, trips to destinations near and far, over-the-top feeds, and Kwok giveaways. Plus, don’t forget about the opportunity to sleep in for more than one day, as you have not just Sunday but Saturday and Monday off too. Spring Recess sees many of those staying on campus a chance to get a breath of fresh air and head away to cities such as Boston or New York.
The excitement for spring recess has seemed to engulf many Pelicans, including fourth former Thomas Armstrong, who said: “Spring term has been fun, but I’m ready to go home, not worry about school, and mostly sleep.” For those venturing elsewhere, Spring Recess also offers a chance to recharge and rejuvenate. It's a time to catch up on sleep, reconnect with family and friends, and engage in activities that bring joy.
Regardless of the destination, Spring Recess provides a welcome break from the rigors of St. Paul’s life. As we look forward to the upcoming long weekend, there's excitement in the air for the opportunities it brings. Spring Recess allows everyone to pause and do what they love, whether exploring new places, indulging in favorite hobbies, or simply relaxing. So, as we approach the end of April and the start of our long weekend, remember to do what makes you happy.
