The school system sets us up for summers off, winter break, spring break, and long weekends here and there. K-12 school did however set us up for the 9-5 lifestyle, which college then COMPLETELY ruined it. I just graduated this past May, and I'd do ANYTHING to go back to the freedom and lifestyle I had. Being able to pick (for the most part) days and times you had classes was amazing. It was also pushed so much in k-12 school about how much freedom you would have in college, just to be ripped away whenever you entered the real world. I did work part time for most of college or have an internship. There would usually be a week or two buffer between starting in the summer then again when it ended. I just don’t know how Im gonna cope with only weekends off for 50 weeks out of the year.
