Spring Break has nearly arrived, and I am excited for the week break from school. Classes at Gustavus are hard work, and it will be nice to relax for a while.
Many college students use the time off from school to travel some place warm and exotic. That sounds wonderful, but it is not in my cards this year. I will, however, be doing some exciting traveling nonetheless. During the first weekend of spring break, the men’s ultimate frisbee team is traveling to Chicago to play in the Chicago Invite tournament. It is a two day tournament, and will be a great chance to get some outdoor playing experience. After a chilly winter, I can’t wait to play outside.
Following the tournament, several of my friends and I are going to canoe on The Current river in Missouri as a part of the Gustavus Outdoor Enthusiasts organization. We will paddle for just two days, but it will be a wonderful to get out on the water. I can’t wait.
Spring break is a much needed rest from the stresses of school. There are lots of opportunities for Gusties to use the vacation time constructively, and I think most GAC students do.
