Birds are chirping, new couples are cropping up in the 1400s stairwell, flowers are blooming and seasonal allergies are running their rampage—we all know what that means: Spring is finally here!

The glorious changes in weather brings an even more exciting prospect for Northwood students alike: Spring Break. However, this newfound freedom also brings up a tough question for some: What could one possibly do with all that time?

To answer this question, here’s a pie chart of the ideal spring break (down to the minute) to serve as “inspo” for your week off.

As a Northwood student, you have thoughtfully mastered the art of time management and healthy amounts of screentime.

240 minutes: Contemplating doing SAT/ACT prep or application writing

Doing academic prep work can be daunting and requires incredible willpower. Such a large task requires equally large thought before action.
