As the weather begins to change into the fall season, students got to go home for the one-day Dean’s holiday fall break. As it became closer and closer, students were becoming more anxious about leaving campus or planning exciting adventures with their friends both at Cabrini and home.
Since winter break is not too far away, students are beginning to think about what they need to take home to consolidate their dorm space.
Using the holiday to pack unused summer clothing, students cleaned out their closets and prepped for the winter with heavier clothes and thicker boots.
Others, however, avoided this process and are leaving that for winter break or even the last week of school.
Some students had the privilege to go home; whereas, the student athletes had to either remain on campus or wait until their practices were finished to visit home.
Hannah Krady, a sophomore education major, expressed her excitement to go home.
“Right now with all of my school work, it has been hectic and I’m ready to go home and relax with my friends and family,” Krady said.
When asked if she would wish to remain on campus Krady stated that even if she was given the opportunity to stay she would still go home no matter how short of a break fall break is.
Even though Krady is ready to return home, she still says she will miss one major element once winter break rolls around.
“I’m going to miss my friends here at Cabrini the most because even though it is only a few days it feels like weeks without them,” Krady said.
Freshman, Jordan Clouthier, had different feelings towards this break.
“I am in a rush to come back on campus after a weekend away. I know winter break hasn’t even started yet but I love it here and I am not ready for it,” Clouthier said.
After stating she is going home to spend time with her family and her friends from her high school, she is still thinking about being ready to head back to school after the holidays.
“I would honestly love to stay on campus during even winter break if I had the chance to,” Clouthier said.
However, Clouthier is ready to have a break from all the school work for a few days.
Sabrina Hackendorn, a sophomore biology major, is currently trying out for the basketball team which requests that she stay on campus over winter break.
Whether students are ready to leave for the break and need some time away from the stress and work, excited to return before even stepping foot off the campus, or staying because of athletics in the end they all in some way needed time to relax and enjoy break as much as possible.
