Hello,
One of the things that happens in these months is a little something called spring break. I don't know if this happens oveseas, but in America most high schools/colleges give students a week or two off where the main idea is to get drunk and engage in all sorts of crazy shenanigans in a warm beach area (typically Florida, South Carolina, etc.). Now, these partiers often do extreme things during these events, mostly because of the influence of alcohol and other substances, and they act for lack of a better word, like morons. Because of the recent pandemic however encouraging people to NOT gather in large groups, having large parties like this is ill advised. But some college students do this anyways because it's the land of the free and we all suffer for it, engaging in things like the toilet bowl challenge last spring and shirking the mask mandate. And as a consequence, most colleges in 2021 (mine included) decided to forgo spring break and just add an extra week to winter break and the week that would be spring break would be regular classes. But that apparently didn't include EVERY college, as miami beach had to enforce a curfew to limit exposure. When that didn't work and people protested, the police got involved and pepper balled the crowd.
It's times like this that I hate being a college student, because we're all lumped in the crowd when people do dumb stuff like this. Not every college student is like this! If I had sprng break, I would do what I usually do on the weekends: Relax, play some games eat and sleep. I don't go anywhere, I don't bother anyone and all my enjoyment is spent within my house. So if you want my opinion on this, they got what they deserved. We're in a pandemic right now and even though vaccines exist I know for CERTAIN none of them have been vaccinated. So even though there are people resistant to the virus, it's important to enforce the mandate. What do you all think of this situation? I'm curious.
