Rest and Recharge
Every day, we at The Wildcat Roar have the task As spring break enters the horizon, feelings of rest and renewal are just around the corner. This 9th issue of The Wildcat Roar explores many different aspects of newness or renewal. How to safely explore new places over spring break. The renewal of special olympics and orchestra competitions at Westminster. Seeing parts of the theater that are new to the majority of the community.
Every spring, we celebrate the world becoming fresh and new again, growing from a cold, dead season of winter. Every spring at school, though, we struggle to make it to the end. After a long, hard winter, school challenges students who are weary to push toward the end, even when the work seems futile at times.
Life, especially in the never-ending gray of winter, can drag on to seemingly endless days repeated. This is felt not just by students, but people at any stage of life (including teachers and parents). Seasons affect mood, productivity, rest, relationships, and more; so it is no wonder that everyone is just so tired before spring break finally comes to offer, well, a break.
As the weather gets warmer and flowers bloom, take some time to feel renewed, especially over the break. It may feel impossible at times to keep pushing forward after so much work already, but it is necessary for new growth. Recharge your batteries for one last quarter. Finish strong. Find reprieve in the small joys that springtime brings to get us through the final weeks before real rest.
