Whether it was relaxing at home or traveling across the world, MSMS students took full advantage of their extended Spring Break.

The end of the third quarter is plagued by the worst of the worst–junior research paper, science fair projects and trying to get all of those wellness hours that you really should have done earlier, among others. Always hectic and what many call “hell week,” MSMS students have one thing to look forward to: Spring Break. However, none of us knew there would be a part two to this break; before getting ready to transition to online classes, students used these past two weeks to relax and unwind from the stress of classes and projects. Here are just a few of the things they did:

1. Traveled to the beach with their friends.

3. Finally got some sweet, sweet sleep again.

4. Had a tearful reunion with their friends.

5. Straight up vibed at home, with an endless supply of coffee and Gilmore Girls.
