Summer Break More times than not, when you return to school from summer break, a commonly asked question is, "Did you have a good summer?" Clearly this isn't a bad question to ask, but when summer break was terrible, sometimes it's easier to just answer the question with a response as simple as: "Not too bad" or "Pretty good", that usually saves you from having to answer even more questions that you would have been asked if you were to say that you didn't have a good summer. With that being said, by now, you're probably wondering if I had a good summer, the answer to that question is no, I did not have a good summer. Right before summer break starts, the talk among everyone is usually how excited they are to finally be out of school, what …show more content…
Trust me, that does not make my family perfect by any means, nor does it make any family perfect. Every family has its flaws; some more than others. Are you aware of what the true definition of perfection is? Perfection is: "The condition, state, or quality of being free or as free as possible from all flaws or defects." No one knows what goes on behind closed doors, they only know as much as what is told. Do you really think, if you actually knew what happened behind closed doors, away from the public, that my family was perfect? If you had any sense, you would not answer yes to that …show more content…
The love that we once had for each other, turned into war. Siblings are going to fight and argue, that's just how it is, but this was way more than that. Aside from all of the drama that went on between co-workers, my dad found out that his wife, my mom, had been cheating on him with a cook that works at the cafe with both her and my dad, almost daily. My parents had been together for over seventeen years; therefore I could only imagine how hard it was to get that news. I don’t know if he just didn't want to believe it, if he was in denial or all of the three. He would listen, but it was almost as if you were talking in one ear and it was going right out the other.

    It was spring break. A student’s best time of the year, the days starting to get warmer and longer. It was the best time to be alive and joyful. A vibrant child awoken from his dream as he heard someone mutter from a far distance. He was ravenous, like a bear is hungry after he has awakened from his long nap during Spring.…

    I hope you have been having a good school year and a nice holiday break! I have some exciting news. I'm applying for the Coolidge Scholarship which is a scholarship that covers the costs of all four years of undergraduate education for students who are crazy overqualified in everything. I'm not one of them unfortunately, but there are a bunch of smaller awards attached to the scholarship that I am aiming for, including the awards/titles "Coolidge Senator" and "Coolidge Finalist" for good candidates but not the ultimate winners. This is a fantastic opportunity for me as I could really use the scholarship, this would look great for college, and the opportunity itself is great; if I place in any capacity I get a cool free trip down to Washington,…

    The anticipation for Thanksgiving break is over the top. The thought of home cooked meals, family, and no professors talking a student 's ear off for a week are heavenly. Of course all the classic thanksgiving things happen but there are also psychological things that go on. (Darn that psychology sneaking its way into everything, it obviously never goes on break.) Although psychology is used every minute of every day i 'm only going to talk about 5 concepts, persuasion, cognition, emotion, personality, and the self.…

    Christmas break in my opinion is probably the second best brake that we have throughout our school year. The main thing I like about Christmas break is how long it is. But even though I like how long we are off school it's almost like we don't have a break because basketball takes over. We get a few days off but the rest of the days are hitting the gym early in the mornings for two to three hours a day. The days I have is the best thing in the world because I get to relax and do something fun for once.…
