Spring break 2022 was a great way for me to relax, visit family, and take a nice break from school. During my spring break, I flew to the Bay Area for 3 days to visit my family. I arrived Friday night after taking my last final. For the few days I was in the Bay Area, I was able to see family I haven’t seen since Winter break and got to eat at some of my favorite restaurants. I was very excited about this trip as I was also able to watch my cousin perform as the lead of her school’s play. She played Ellie Blake, the daughter, in her school’s production of Freaky Friday (Musical). The musical had a story like all the other Freaky Friday movies but was different in its own ways. I loved seeing my cousin perform since I haven’t seen her perform a lead role since 2018. After the performance, I had a fun family dinner with cousins, aunts, and uncles and caught up with all of them.
The next day, my family and I drove back down to the Southern California area. My sister and I ended up having the same spring break this year, which worked out great for planning a college touring trip. My sister is a junior in high school, so it’s about that time to tour campuses and decide where she wants to apply to. We visited Loyola Marymount, UCLA, CSU Long Beach, Chapman, and UCI. It was fun to go on tours and walk around different campuses.
When we finished college tours, we took a few trips to the beach! We stayed in Huntington Beach, and the beach was right across the street from our hotel. I really liked staying at the beach, going swimming, and relaxing. I also took my family to a public market that I discovered with my friends here at UCI. Rodeo 39 consists of many small eateries that we could choose from. My spring break overall was a relaxing experience!
