This article is coming a bit late as I should have written it months ago. I wasn't able due to so many reasons one of which is my mental laziness towards writing it. I never really had the urge to write it but today I decided that whether I like it or not I must do it.

This article is about how I spent my break. I finished my first year in University last year December. It was a very long year for me. The session started in March and thank God we finished by December. According to the school calendar we were supposed to resume for the new session on the 30th of January but due to something we resumed on the 28th of February. So I was left with two months of Holiday.

I was happy that this happened during Christmas period so that I could be with my family and friends. There is no holiday like that. I would spend my break eating Christmas and New Year food and also having some wonderful parties. It was the perfect time to just let loose.

Before the break began I told myself that I will use the opportunity to be serious and read for the next session but I knew that I was just lying to myself. It was the serious me talking. But if we take a minute and think about it, how could I be serious about it. I had spent almost the entire year with my head buried in my books and with a hundred percent focus on my academics. So why will I now stress myself and continue reading during this break. Isn't that crazy? Now I am wondering how I could have said that. I cannot stress myself out so I was definitely going to let out some steam.

I spent a little part of my break in school but not for academic reasons. There were some end of the year dinners and parties going on in school and I wanted to attend. They were actually fun and I really enjoyed myself. I met new people and was able to get some important connections. I also used the little time I stayed in school to collect a lot of movies. I planned to watch all of them before the end of the break. Looking now in retrospect, there was no way I could have done that. Some of the movies are still on my phone waiting for me to watch them.

I still managed to watch a few of them. I watched Deep House, Night Raiders, Shang Chi, Overboard, P.K and a series titled Off My Block. I particularly enjoyed that series as it was relatable. It is about a group of 4 teenagers who live in a neighborhood rife with gang violence. The series follows their journey through this neighborhood as they pass through adolescence. It's a really interesting, funny and thought provoking movie and I recommend it for anyone especially if you're a teenager.

Another important part of my break was the Christmas and New Year celebration. It was really fun as there was a lot to celebrate. Also there was plenty food and drinks. I got to see family members that I haven't seen in a long while and it was really good to see them. The highlight of the period though was when a family friend came visiting and he gave me $15. I was so happy. That's a lot of money for me to take myself out on a treat.

During the break I also tried to revive my noise cash account but that did not turn out so well. I think I have given up on it.

This doesn't mean the break was always full of fun and lively. I also had some very boring moments that I didn't know what to do. Everywhere was just dry but thankfully those moments were shortlived as I quickly found things that I was interested in.

In Conclusion

A part of my break was fun, interesting and lively while the other was boring and uneventful probably because I miss my friends and maybe the school environment. All in all I am happy that I got the break that I full deserved and was able to rest well. Another academic session is upon us and it is time to be serious again.

Till next time guys and I can't wait to tell you about my next school break experience.
