I find this to be a brilliant idea. The whole concept of a break to me is having enough time to take a breather. I could save money (HAH!), make hotel and travel arrangements, and finally arrive at some hot spot destination and compete with crowds, but I'd rather not. Spring break is meant to offer students and faculty an opportunity to rest. I have decided to take full advantage of my rest. I am very excited to stay home, sleep, organize, possibly do a bit of spring cleaning, and wear pajamas all week while I zonk out in front of the TV. If I travel somewhere to party or sight-see for a week, I may find that I have less energy when I return. Spring semester is a difficult time because students start getting burnt out from the school year, and frequently get a nasty case of spring fever. I personally believe that staying home, resting, and storing the energy that will be needed to complete this school year is the best plan. So, when other students return with sunburn, windburn, and hangovers, I'll have a fresh face and will be burning with energy to wrap up the semester.

So, for all the students who are unable to take that snazzy vacation, I say bravo. Rest, recuperate, and enjoy. You may find yourself at an advantage in the end.
