Time For Spring Break

Since the kids will be out of school for a while… it is time for Spring Break!

Spring break is a vacation period in early spring at universities and schools that started during the 1930s in the United States and is now observed in many other countries as well.

Spring break is frequently associated with extensive gatherings and riotous partying in warm climate locations such as Daytona Beach, Florida and Cancun, Mexico, attended regardless of participants’ educational standings.

As a holiday it is variously known as Easter vacation, Easter holiday, April break, spring vacation, mid-term break, study week, reading week, reading period, or Easter week, depending on regional conventions.

This year is different.

Everyone is out of school for who knows how long and the warm weather is here and the testosterone is flowing through the veins of those who are too young to know and old enough not to care. It is Par-tay-Time!

Stripped down to the skivvies and fueled on alcohol this is time for youth to take the big leap from being a little kid to being a bigger kid. This is the time to be invincible.

Parents with the best of intentions to their offspring will not be able to corral these cats. No news briefings or presidential advisement will calm the born to be wild.

Clear the beaches but like the immigrants and the homeless and the refugees where are you going to put all of them? The hotels are being used as hospitals. The school dorms are closed. Are new detention camps the answer?

I never went on Spring Break. I was either taking make-up classes or working. I certainly had the same urges of those I watched on television.

I also didn’t go to the prom.
