October Breakz

About to leave for October Break, the perfectly timed space between the first six weeks of the year and the latter seven. October Break this year stretches from 5:30pm October 11th to 8 am on October 21st. Freshmen year, this break provided the opportunity to catch up with friends from high school and reflect on what a bangin’ choice I’d made going to Vassar instead of one of my friend’s universities. Sophomore year, I traveled abroad to London to be with the boyfriend I would one day marry. Turned out to be an entirely inaccurate sentiment, but it was an exceptionally romantic trip at the time. Junior year, I was at Prague Film School, but had the opportunity to visit Dublin with some international pals.

Senior Year, you would imagine, would be the break that outdid all other breaks- Will Lily go to Swaziland on an Outing Club trip? Will she build homes in Costa Rica? Will she #YOLO and go wild in Miami a la Spring Breakers?

None of the above! Instead, I am going home to exotic Annapolis, Maryland. I’ve never been so excited.

After you’ve been at college for a couple years, October Break is clearly the time to go home, be spoiled with fresh pasta, snuggling with your sister, and watching Game of Thrones with the fam. I’ll leave the other trips to the less fortunate underclassmen.

Maybe, just maybe, I’ll save the trip to Miami for Spring Break. 😉
