As Spring break approached,
many Bucks students had plans
to go on trips with their friends
from other colleges.
But strangely enough, March
14- 20, Bucks’ week of Spring
break, did not coincide with
that of many other colleges.
Nicole Murray, an education
major at Bucks, said, “I was
going to go to Cancun with
friends but those plans fell
through.”
Instead, she added, “I’m
going to Shippensburg
University to visit my best
friends.”
Shippensburg University is
located in Central PA, a far cry
from Cancun, Mexico.
Lori Rank, a nursing major at
Bucks, was going to go to
Atlantic City, N.J., with
friends, but as she said “the
spring breaks don’t match up.
I’m going to go off to other
colleges to visit friends.”
As for as other college students
going on extravagant
trips for spring break, Rank
said, “It’s fun, we’re kids,
might as well go crazy.”
Undecided major Debra
Dole had other plans.
“The weekend before we
come back I’m visiting my
sister in Millersville, she said.
On the other hand, Jess
Chambers, a music major at
Bucks, had plans that did not
involve other colleges.
“Me and my husband are
going on a road trip for three
days then homework, homework,
homework,” she said.
When asked if she had a
problem with other students
going on big vacations for
spring break, Chambers said,
“sometimes I do but I’m sure
they had to plan it and my family
lives in Miami so I can
always go down.”
Other students, such as
Krysta Huggs, a secondary
education major at Bucks, said,
“I’m going on a cruise in the
summer so all these other kids
can do what they want over the
break.”
Asked what her plans were
over the break, Huggs merely
replied, “Working.”
Joe Hearon, a health and
physical education major at
Bucks, said he planned “on
working out and getting ready
for the upcoming baseball season.”
Hearon is a first baseman
for the team at Bucks.
When asked how he felt
about other students going
away for spring break, Hearon
said, “it kind of makes me
want to go with them. I’d love
to go to Florida for a week to
see the Phillies in spring training.”
Other students were prepared
to just stay home.
All Hillary Gack, a communications
major at Bucks, did
on her break was “Work, work
and more work.”
When asked how she felt
about students at other colleges
going away for the break, Gack
replied, “jealousy, I wish I
could afford that.”
Laura Wurtz, a math major
at Bucks, said, “I’m pretty
much just going to work more
than normal at Delilah’s in the
mall.”
When asked if he took a trip
over the break, Mike McCann,
a health and physical education
major at Bucks, said “Nope.
Just looking for a job.”
