Spring Break. A time for relaxation for some, travel for others, and fun for all. Although this spring break brought some rainy days, SDA students found ways to enjoy their short freedom.

“I had many adventures in New York City. The best, by far, would be when I tripped and fell in 30 Rock. I now have a giant bruise on my shin but I’ve become mentally okay with it by telling myself that it’s somewhat similar to Tina Fey kicking me in the shin which, in its self, would be an honor. Oh, also I fell in love with Nick Jonas dancing in a bow tie. A green one.” Sophomore Kirsten Walz
“I had the most amazing Spring Break ever! I was at the beach almost everyday…even the day it rained! Me and my friends lived on Raul’s and Berry Happy. It felt like summer! Now I’m just really sad that break is over. I don’t feel like we should be here.” –Sophomore Lizzy Knox

“I went to Oahu where I paddled to an offshore island in a kayak because my ankle’s screwed up. Other than that I went to the beach, bought a tank top, got sunburnt to the point I could be sold at Red Lobster. I got called a “haoli” for dropping in on a wave bogey boarding. ” –Senior Max Pazevic
“I went to Palm Springs over break. It was delightfully horrible because I did nothing but get bored. So to compensate for this I went on Wikipedia for fun. I fixed up my car though and bought some pieces for my car at the junkyard. When leaving I left my wallet on top of my car when leaving and it flew off my car. I lost $500 in gift cards and cash. Then I got grounded and had to work.” –Senior Kolten Horner
