Springing into break

S P R I N G B R E A K

After a long school year that has been filled with many ups and downs, and constant changes due to the varying conditions of COVID-19, many students looked forward to a break from school and being able to get away after a lot of hard work. RHS student Maddie Huff said, “School has been so exhausting and draining, and I’m so done with it all.” Some students, however, don’t mind school - but still look forward to a break. “I enjoy school but I also get tired of it,” said Rocklin Student Madi Kirby. Madi even had goals for her spring break: wanting to focus on friends, family, and volleyball. School is such a large part of all of these students lives, that they find themselves lacking the time to do extracurricular activities that they enjoy. Between school, sports, and for some- work, many students can barely find time to make for their friends, family, and some even struggle to find time to eat and take care of themselves.

Hailey Schluer was looking forward to spring break for the extra sleep and time for herself which is something she does not really get on the average school day. For those who are extremely competitive in a sport, they have late nights and early mornings. Hailey starts her day around 6 a.m everyday, and is up until roughly 11:30 p.m every night due to her cheer practices. Hailey has little to no time for a social life outside of school because of her busy schedule, so spring break will give her a chance to spend time with her friends and family, “School and cheer are the two main things in my life, I am constantly traveling for my Allstar cheer team and it is so cool being able to do what I love, but I also get really stressed trying to keep up with school at the same time.” Though cheer can cause stress it is also enjoyable for Hailey, “I have a cheer banquet that I am looking forward to as well. I really just want this break to chill out and enjoy myself ... I don’t typically have time to hang out with friends because I’m at school then I have cheer, so I will finally be able to hang out and enjoy myself with the people I care about.” Written and Original Design Inspiration by: Blythe Hancock, Intro to Journalism Student
