Fall break was on October 1st and 2nd, marking the first extended break from classes and living at Bates.  Juniors got the time to take a break from their new work schedules and spend extra time with family and friends at home for the first time since move in day. Fall break is a convenient time for seniors to put in some extra work on college applications (with creeping deadlines), catch up on work, and relax at least a little.

Others use fall break as an opportunity to travel, both for recreation and/or some school related endeavors. Many seniors go on college visit trips across states, with others travel in close proximity to home for secondary visits, interviews, and extra information sessions. Some may take small vacations to just get away for a while. Regardless of how it’s spent, most Academy students can agree that fall break is a nice mix of productivity and relaxation.

After returning from a four day weekend, the semester definitely starts to pick up for everyone. Second tests start rolling around, some college apps are due, and class work really starts to intensify. All the more reason to appreciate the break while it’s there.
