Spring Break, the week we have been waiting for since spring semester started, is finally here — WE MADE IT, FAM.
While some students have extravagant vacation plans, others are taking on service projects during the week.
Some of us are just glad to catch be able to catch up on Netflix and sleep. Regardless, it's a week we've all earned after countless midterms, group projects and papers.
