When you need to get out of Charlottesville
By the time spring break finally rolled around, I was in desperate need of an escape from school. Everything from classes, to social events, to the daily stressors that inevitably accompany U.Va.’s “work hard, play hard” reputation had me feeling on edge. While I would like to flee home to the promises of home-cooked meals and being able to shower without shoes on, I’m an out-of-state kid who only goes home for Christmas and summer. Luckily, though, I had made plans to go northeast with some of my friends.
