The semester is over and students are preparing to part ways for the holidays.
Some students plan on vacationing abroad, but most will either travel back home to relax or stay in Florida to hang out.
“[I’m] going home, eating a lot of my mom and grandma’s cooking,” said Rebecca Dawson, a sophomore from Ala. “[And] hanging out with family and friends.”
Dana Padilla, a sophomore, said she’s going home to Chicago.
Christal Ceithamer, a junior, is going home to Singapore, where her dad is stationed in the military.
Stephany Campins, a senior, is going home to Guatemala while John Ormaechea, a sophomore, is going home to Venezuela.
Other students have chosen to spend their breaks traveling abroad.
“I’m going swimming with the dolphins in New Zealand,” said Mario Gonzalez, a junior.
He’s going with family and friends.
Christian Carrillo, a sophomore, is also going to New Zealand for the holidays.
“We might go to Australia, too,” said Carrillo, who is traveling with family.
There are some students, however, that are staying put in Florida for the break.
“[I’m going to] stay here and work,” said Paige Burnwell, a sophomore, who has a job in Westshore Mall and wants to make some money over the break.
Ryan Grosjean, a junior, doesn’t know what he’s doing yet.
“I should be in Florida,” he said.
Wherever students are going for the holidays, we will all be brought back together for spring semester.
