This fall break I was planning to go visit some of my friends from home at their new college in Boulder, CO. I was going to attend a Buff's football game where a friend of mine plays on the team and cheer the team on while they play Kansas. I would maybe get to see some snow until a horrible present came my way. I didnt buy my tickets in time and was not ablt to go to Boulder over my fall break. Instead I stayed here this weekend and had the time of my life. I slept for many hours, watched loads of television, and spent quality time with friends. I had no routine schedule whatsoever and it was amazing. With no obligations I found myself playing sports at the Dedman Center, and eating at Umphrey Lee all day long. It was really a great time to spend with others on campus, because we were all in it together and were making the best of it. I assumed that I would have a boring weekend in my dorm all by myself studying my brains out, however it is Tuesday night and I am just now sitting down to start my work. Suprisingly this has been one of my most fun weekends although I did not visit my family and friends at home, and I hope all who went home had a great time.
Here is what students at USC did, and have some suggestions about what you should do on your fall break. http://media.www.dailygamecock.com/media/storage/paper247/news/2008/10/07/Viewpoints/Dos-And.Donts.For.Fall.Break-3473114.shtml

That's such a great post to read. People just don't get relaxation these days. My mission on my next vacation is to leave my cell phone off and absolutely not check emails--or the Internet for that matter. Maybe that's too ambitious, but I think there's a secret path to happiness in simplifying life if for just a weekend. Making unscheduled connections with live people, not through machines.
I think that what you just wrote about is was fall break is meant to do. I had a similar experience even though I went home for break. I hung out with friends but had no schedule. We went to the local pizza place and sat there talking for hours and decided last minute to have a bonfire in the woods. I think that breaks are a great escape from the hectic lives we lead at school and even though its a shame you did not get to see your friends, at least you weren't stuck in class.
