Time for a break!

At Southern Miss, it's great that we get a few breaks throughout the year.  At the end of this week we have fall break, which means on Thursday and Friday, we don't have class! I'm going to use this time wisely to relax and catch up on some much needed sleep! Getting a break during the middle of the semester is such a good idea. It gives us the chance become refreshed and reenergized to finish off the rest of the semester. I definitely need this time to recharge!

Then, in the spring semester, we get another break that a lot of other colleges don't have. In February, we get two days off for Mardi Gras! Since our university is so close to the Gulf Coast and New Orleans, we take time off to celebrate Mardi Gras as well. This is just another great reason why I love Southern Miss!
