Spring break is just around the corner! And many OHS students are getting excited about what they are going to do. Some people are planning trips, while others just want to relax at home and sleep all day. I asked a few OHS students how they feel about spring break and what their plans are.

My first person was Maria Martinez, a student at OHS. I asked her how she feels now that spring break is coming up, and she said she is very ready for the break. She also said, “I’ve been so stressed with school, so I just want to sleep and watch movies.” She is not going anywhere this year, but she still feels happy. “Even if I stay home, it’s still a break, and that’s enough for me because I get to sleep all day long!” she said.

Another OHS student I interviewed was Marlene Ortiz. She has bigger plans coming up for this spring break, she said, ” Yeah, I’m going to Florida with my family this year! We’re gonna go to the beach every day, so hopefully it’s nice and hot over there.” She sounded very excited. When I asked if she was ready to go, she said, “I’ve been ready since last month. I just want school to be over to go on more trips.” Lots of students at OHS want school to be over and enjoy the nice weather!

The third person I interviewed was Marshall Lopez. I asked him if he was gonna go out this spring break, and he said he was planning to go out with his friends. “We might go to the mall, get food, and maybe have a sleepover,” he said. He also said, “It’s not about going far, it’s just about having a fun time with friends or family, even if you don’t go out, you can still make the time worth it.” I also asked him if he was ready to sleep in for spring break, and he said, “I feel so ready because I want a break from waking up early, I’m so waking up at like 1 pm and sleeping until 4 am.”

The fourth person I interviewed was Sofia Herandez. I asked her what plans she has for spring break, and her response was. “I don’t really have plans, I’m just gonna see what happens. Or maybe go to the river or something, but usually my family waits until June or July because that’s when beaches, pools, and rivers are mostly open, and the water is warm.” I agree with her because I know those beaches are really cold right now! Sofia also said, “Even though I have no plans for spring break, I’m still excited to sleep in and just watch TikTok all day. Anything is better than school right now,” she said. She also added, “It’s just nice to take a break and not worry about school for a little while.”

Another OHS student I interviewed was Kayla Moore. I asked her if she still has work to finish and if she’s gonna do work over the spring break. She said, “I have a few assignments left, but I’m trying to finish them before the break because I don’t wanna do any school work over the break.” She then said, “I want to enjoy my time and not think about school.” I agree with her too, school is stressing out students, and the students are trying to finish everything so they can just just relax over the break.

The fifth person I interviewed was Esther Rios. I asked her how she feels about getting a week off. She said, “I feel ready for spring break. Plus, the weather is getting nice as well. I also feel like spring break will be like a taste of summer break.” I asked her, what if the weather goes crazy again like last week, is she gonna be out still? She said, “Well, the weather last week was so weird, it was nice and hot, then all of a sudden there were tornadoes, a lot of wind, heavy rain, and snow. But if that kind of weather comes back for spring break, I’m so not going out and staying home, but hopefully it will be nice and warm to go out.”

Most of the OHS students said they are ready for spring break and are happy to have time off. Some are going out, and some plan to stay home the whole spring break, but they are all looking forward to it. As Sofia said, “It’s just nice to take a break and not worry about school for a bit.”

Spring break means something different for every student at school, but they all share the same feeling of excitement. whether they are going on trips, hanging out with friends, or just staying home and resting, it’s a time to take a break from school and enjoy it while it lasts. As the days get closer, one thing is clear: OHS students are so ready for spring break to begin!
