Many people have questioned why Vassar has a fall break. I’ve questioned why Vassar has a fall break. PB has questioned why Vassar has a fall break. With that and the two-week spring break, sometimes it seems like we’re never on campus. I say, why stop at fall and spring breaks? Let’s throw in a break for every random day of the year. Call this academic year a KitKat bar the way we’re breaking off a piece.
Pi Day and Ides of March Break
Pi Day is March 14, representing the first three significant digits (3.14) of the mathematical constant pi. The Ides of March, when Julius Caesar was assassinated in 44 BCE, are March 15. I think we could bundle these two together and get a few days off out of it.
Help a Horse Day Break
National Help a Horse Day is April 26. That’s like right around Founder’s Day, so what if we just didn’t have any class at all for a few days so we could help as many horses as possible to atone for whatever sins we will surely commit on Founder’s Day.
Maria’s Birthday Break
My friend Maria’s birthday is March 25, so it would be great if we could all have a day or two off so we can have a big party.
Josie’s Birthday Break
My birthday is August 18, so we’re already not in school, but I just think everyone should know.
Break Break
This break could be any day of the year, but you’d have to utilize the time off by going out and
smashing as much stuff as possible.
Jimmy Carter’s Birthday Break
Jimmy Carter turned 100 years old on October 1! I think we should get all future October 1s off, so we can properly celebrate this American hero.
National Sandwich Day Break
National Sandwich Day is November 3. We should get time off to snack on sandwiches to our hearts’ content.
Thanksgiving Break
Thanksgiving is an important family holiday for many people, and it’s crazy that we don’t get any time off for it. Last year, I had a midterm on Thanksgiving Day, and two classes that afternoon. It was nuts! I know that PB doesn’t believe in Thanksgiving because of her personal vendetta against turkeys, but we should really get the holiday off.
Fwinter Break
There’s Fall Break. There’s Winter Break. But where’s our break for the well-known season of Fwinter, falling right between November and December? That’s finals season. I’m very stressed at that time, and I could use some rest and relaxation.
Miscellany News Humor Editors Break
We work hard. We deserve some time off.
