\nWith spring break wrapping up March 12, \u00a0lots of Morningside students were talking about what they did over break.\u00a0 While most people think of the traditional spring break as going to Mexico or Florida or some other tropical local, some students decided to take a less traditional approach to their nine day break from classes.<\/p>\n

Coire Walker, a sophomore counseling psychology major, stayed on campus for break from classes.\u00a0 \u201cIt was nice being here with no one else around. I could relax in my room and not have tons of loud people running around the dorms all hours of the days.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sophomore Courtney Walls took a more active approach to staying in Sioux City. \u201cI hold down a part time job in addition to going to class.\u00a0 Since I had no class that week, it allowed me to work more hours and make more money.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the decision to stay on campus wasn\u2019t totally without its drawbacks.\u00a0 \u201cThe school shut down the cafeteria the last day of classes.\u00a0 This means I had to buy my own groceries, which was a bummer.\u201d\u00a0 Walls commented.<\/p>\n

Not all students decided to stay here in Sioux City.\u00a0 Matthew Trisler, a senior biology and chemistry major, decided to adventure out of Iowa.\u00a0 \u201cI decided to go to Chicago for a few days. I was able to get a bus out of Omaha for close to $25 round trip.\u00a0 This worked great because I just left my car at a friend\u2019s house and was able to have them pick me up and drop me off at the bus stop without having to pay for parking.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trisler went on to talk about how it was nice to get out of Sioux City and explore a large city atmosphere that is nonexistent around these regions. Both Walker and Trisler also talked about how they weren\u2019t really into the idea of going to some place warm.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah it would be pretty wild to go down there and see all the crazy parties and stuff that MTV puts on,\u201d Walker stated, \u00a0\u201cbut there\u2019s really nothing better than just being able to relax and enjoy lots of free time on your own schedule.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
