After a long three-day weekend, the mood on campus was filled with mixed emotions, mostly bad ones as students returned back to their daily routines. The extended break had offered a variety of experiences for everyone, and it was clear that nobody spent the weekends the same. Whether it was time spent productively, socially, or simply having leisure time, the weekend left lasting impressions.
For some, like Zoe Yeoh, a senior, the weekend was all about preparing for the upcoming SAT. “I spent the break studying for the SAT and it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life,” she said. Her dedication exemplified the determination of students ready to tackle one of the biggest academic challenges of the year.
Others used the time to fully enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday. Emma Emis (12) reflected on her weekend, saying, “I took Thursday off because Dalat didn’t give me the opportunity to spend time with my family. I spent Thursday, Friday, and Saturday cooking with my family and having Thanksgiving dinners every night. So thankful!” Her break was a heartfelt celebration of gratitude and family time.
For Ellie Park (12), the weekend was a chance for self-care and a little retail therapy. “I spent my money shopping in KL, and it was fun spending money on yourself,” she shared. The excitement of shopping offered her a refreshing break from school and college applications.
Meanwhile, Silas Latham (10) made the most of his time with friends, saying, “I had lots of fun spending time with friends eating food and playing spike ball.” A weekend all about connection, laughter, and good company.
Whether it was sleepless nights studying, celebrating family traditions, indulging in shopping sprees, or simply enjoying time with friends, the long weekend provided a much needed pause for everyone to recharge in their own way. Now, as the school week begins again, the memories of those three days serve as a reminder of how important it is to make time for what matters most. Be grateful!
