#5 Life Observation: March Break


I was curious as to why we have a March break and why it was created. I researched a few sites and March break was created at the end of World War II, and votes passed in the 1980s. Fort Lauderdale, Florida, was a well known spring break destination in the United States for college students. It was made by the efforts of one man, George Warren "Bob" Gill Jr., who was called "the Father of Fort Lauderdale spring break". I really think people decided we needed a bit of a break every once and a while because we have lives outside of knowledge. All humans require other social activities such as family matters, friends, loved ones and entertainment. If we didn’t interact with one another outside of our working environments people would become aggressive, depressed and socially awkward at the worst. I think March break is a great holiday weekend and gives us a major break! HAPPY MARCH BREAK EVERYONE!!
