Break

was having negative thoughts. I decided to track my thoughts over the course of spring break. I began recording my thoughts as spring break began at Fort Stewart in Georgia. I tracked my thoughts as the week continued. As I began to track my thoughts, I did not notice any pattern of when they occurred. However, most of the thoughts I did track occurred when I visited Fort Stewart in Georgia over spring break. I went to post to visit my boyfriend who is stationed there. While there the thoughts:…

first day of what some call the best year of one's life, Senior year of Highschool, I made a mistake. On the first day back in the water after a two week break, and the first last day of highschool, I was euphoric with my new found seniority. Although had still been in contact with my friends from the team, I had not seen them since before the break and I was eager to catch up. Our practice had been in session for fifteen minutes and we were still warming up when I recognized my best friend…

interesting. Who is more influential in your behavior than your immediate friends are? Changing rituals could be an answer. Advertisers have done a poor job when it comes to spring break activities. On a midstream level, providing individuals with knowledge that can be passed onto friends may be the start of the spring break ritual change. This age group is not stupid, they are aware of the risks of their behavior, yet continue to place themselves in situations that could end in death…

On August 8, I sat at the movie theaters with my friend. After a long week of doing what teenagers do most over summer break, nothing, I decided to spend my last available weekend at the movies, before the first day back to school. I took my seat behind a family with a little girl around the age of 3. The movie was about five minutes started, when the girl suddenly began screaming. I ignored it at first, thinking that her parents would eventually jump in and solve it. Both parents sat ignoring…

In April of 2012, on a spring break day, my sister and I had no clue that this normal-seeming day would turn into a day full of surprise. Maya, my sister, was four years old with blonde hair and eyes as light blue as a clear sky. Many people said her hair was as soft as silk. I, on the other hand, was seven years old with dark brown hair and chocolate eyes. The morning was a typical spring morning near the beach in Santa Cruz, foggy and cold. My mom, dad, sister and I had just approached our…

It was the last night of winter break and I had a indoor baseball practice on the snowy night. The practice was going well as we were taking ground balls and working hitting on our swings. I was hitting in the cage and next you know, “Crack”, blood was rushing down the back of my head. Off balance, barely being able to see straight, everything was a blur. The person in the cage behind me let go of the bat and hit me in the back of the head. My coach bolted over, “Is everything ok”, he asked. I…

We all decided that we would take my car just for the experience, it is a very fast car that turns heads everywhere. The car is all blacked out with crazy rainbow headlights and ridiculously loud exhaust, not…
