We all spent time over break chilling in every sense of the word, but some of us simply did it better than others. Here’s my ratings of everyone’s breaks, or break-down, if you will.
Note: I did not ask for everyone’s permission before rating the ways they spent their break, so I better ask the opinion editor if it’s okay…hang on…she said yes.
Paul Czarnecki | Editor-in-Chief
I spent time at home relaxing and de-stressing from the fall semester with my two cats (oh, and the rest of my family, I guess)!
RATING: Cats good, family eh. 5/10.
Raven Sanchez | Managing Editor
I went to Denver for Christmas and celebrated five family birthdays, but other than that, I mostly just relaxed and slept in.
RATING: That is too many birthdays. 3/10. Knock some off.
Ellie Myers | Associate Editor
I rested. I got to draw lots of pictures and see lots of family and friends. It was exactly what I needed!
RATING: Too sincere. 2/10.
Nick Smith | News Editor
I hung out with friends and spent some time with family over break.
RATING: Spicy, Nick. Way to sensationalize it for the readers. 6/10.
Olivia Nordyke | Features Editor
Since it’s my last year of college, I tried to savor the last time I’ll ever have an entire month off for the holidays. I read some books, crocheted and learned some new songs to play on my ukulele!
RATING: Wait, I guess college is the last time I’ll ever have a month off. A sobering realization. 7/10.
Kate Marlett | Copy Editor
I traveled to Arizona, worked on honing my editing skills and binge watched the “Sharpe” TV series from the ‘90s. I also got to see the McLaren retail store in Las Vegas! Greatest break ever!
RATING: Was it really? The greatest? Are you sure? 5/10.
Zee O’Donnell | Reporter
Over the break, I spent some much-needed time with friends and family. I’ve spent a lot of time losing at Mario Party recently!
RATING: Get your head in the game, Zee. 4/10.
Anna Vince | Reporter
Over break, I went back home to York in the UK and spent time with my family.
RATING: I’ve been wanting to go to York for the past three years. 10/10.
Syanna Santiago-Smith | Reporter
For the most part, I just worked and hung out with my loved ones. I also had to recover from food poisoning on Christmas Day, ha-ha.
RATING: Oof. 0/10.
Neako Hallisey | Artist
I met Cameron Diaz and skied. Lots of skiing.
RATING: Cameron Diaz, love that guy! Almost enough to make up for skiing, but not quite. 3/10.
