"With the way the economy is, I can't afford a fancy vacation," said communications sophomore Jason Kemp. "I guess the fun is going to have to wait until next year."
Kemp is indefinitely postponing his trip to Miami that he had planned for the break due to his shrinking wallet. He says that a few days of fun in the sun are not worth the cost nowadays.
Instead, he's now planning on working at his former job in his hometown of Glen Lake for the entire nine days he has off from school.
"I see it as a responsible financial decision," Kemp said. "Now is the time to save, not blow all your money on a week you probably won't even remember."
Others, like packaging sophomore Jeremy Brown, are planning on staying financially neutral during their break. Jeremy has decided not to vacation or work all week.
"I see spring break as exactly that: a break," Brown said. "I'm going to be doing a lot of sleeping and enjoying my mom's food."
Whatever your plans for spring break, keep in mind that it only lasts a week, and this recession isn't supposed to end until around 2013 by some estimates. Have fun out there!
