The administration confirmed that spring break is back on the calendar for this semester. It was a long and draining fight but our persistence finally forced them to listen. I am relieved that we can all have a moment to breathe now.

After Fall semester not having its regular breaks scheduled the student population struggled immensely due to that. We did not have a mental break from the never ending loads of school work from professors. The transitioning to online, hybrid, and some face to face was a challenge. We had to learn to adapt to these changes but it was still a struggle. Another semester like this with no holidays will be exhausting so we need them to bring back spring break or have some sort of break during the semester instead of no breaks.

The emails I get from those of you struggling with burnout confirm exactly why I started this. I am still pushing for a response from the administration even though the silence from their office is frustrating. We keep moving forward because the current pace is not sustainable.

The momentum behind this plea has grown far beyond what I expected when I first sat down to write it. It is exhausting to keep pushing when the administration remains silent but seeing this many people agree that we are drowning keeps me going.

While it is understandable that a lot of these measures are being done for student safety against Covid-19, it should be concerning that little is being done to accommodate students with the growing stress and mental health issues related to this compressed schedule.
I hope the ABAC administration looks at the grades, drop out percentages, curve rates in classes, etc., and realizes how awful this semester was! What works on paper doesn’t always work in practice!
I need a break this is insane I’m burned out and if other schools can do a break so can we! I don’t care if we get out before everyone else but guess what they are doing way better than us academically and mentally because they had a break think of us are still teens and not even yet in the workforce. many students here at Abac I’ve heard want to drop out which I’ve never ever heard so much talked about on a campus before!
I can stand behind this. This is about more than just a break, but a mental break too, a break from feeling trapped by constant deadlines and mounting work. I want this break, just this small break, to spend time with the people I love most.
This is the week students are able to work to make money to eat and live off of.
ABAC NEEDS A SPRING BREAK
Not one single break through the entire Spring Semester along with this new “hybrid learning” and you expect us to be perfectly fine? Can’t even do it my boy, its gone be 65.

There is such a mental overload and burden to not have any breaks what so ever. Those few extra days mean the different cause they allow students to regroup mentally and physically. I know so many students including myself who are feeling so burnt out right now and struggling
