Winter break is finally here! If I said I wasn’t waiting for these two weeks to occur, I would be lying. Winter break is a great time to take a rest from school, homework and other activities. Also, with so much free time, you are able to spend much more time with family and friends. This two week break is a great opportunity to sleep in and get the extra rest that you deserve. I know all of you are working very hard which is why this break is so important for you to do only one thing; relax. Though if you are in the mood, beginning to study for exams is a great thing to do when you have so much free time.

The winter break has come to an end as students now begin to resume the remaining month of semester 1. The short break has allowed students to receive a rest from school and catch up on homework and studies. Unfortunately, this short period of time ends annoyingly fast for many, leaving students with less time to rest and be with their families. However this issue can simply be resolved by extending the break’s duration, allowing students and even teachers to enjoy their holidays for longer.
