2) The pit of my break was Sunday night. First off, I was completely overwhelmed with the dread of having to return to school the next morning, I was not prepared at all. Also, it was stressful as I tried to remember nearly two weeks back if I forgot any home work or not. Third, it was nearly impossible to fall asleep that night, for the duration of break I had stayed up quite late. All in all, the definite pit of break was the Sunday night before school started up again.

3) Dear Samantha Chauvin, your break sounded absolutely amazing. First off, I would like to note that your break was similar to mine, because the peak of your break was spent along side family just like mine. Also, the wrapping paper war sounds extremely exciting and crazy. Anything with wrapping paper and war occurring at the same time would be a total blast. With that being said, I am glad that you break was filled with joy and was eventful.

#2: The pit of my break was going to bed at 3 a.m last night. First, i decided to get in bed at 8 o'clock and played on my phone until Imidnight. Then, after putting my phone away sat for 3 hours waiting for my body to finally fall asleep, this wait felt like an eternity. Lastly, despite my 3 hours of sleep, I felt quite energized in the morning and think i can take on the day. In conclusion, the worst part of my break was going to bed at 3 a.m the night before school.

#3: Dear Jarrett Childers,

Your break sounds interesting. It was pretty similar to my break as we both went on a large Star Wars binge.First, I'm not exactly sure how you managed to sleep for 16 hours in day but this a pretty impressive feat. Also, I can sympathize with you on being up for 30 hours, been there a few times. All in all, I think our breaks were fairly similar and that you know how to have a good time.

2. The pit of my break was always having to wake up early. First, I had to wake up early to travel to family members houses. Second, because of how early I was waking up before break the habit kinda stuck. Lastly, my little sister always came in my room early because she "Wanted to play." In conclusion, I barely got any sleep. 

3. Dear Sarah Hackett, your break sounds very eventful. First, its different than mine because you went places and had a very enjoyable break while I was at home. Second, its similar because it seems you spent time with family, as so did I. Lastly, the gifts you got are similar to mine because I also got a gift card. In conclusion, it seems your break was very interesting.

2.The pit of my break was Sunday, January 3rd. First, that was the last day of break, which meant school was the next day. Second, that day was the slowest of all the break days because nothing was planned. Lastly, I wasn't able to stay up as late as I wanted. In conclusion, the worst part of my break was the part when I realized it was over and had to go back to school.

3.Dear Morgan Fieldler, your break sounds extremely fantastic. It was similar to mine because the highlight of your break was with your family. The best parts of both of our breaks was involved in the people closest to us. Also, the fall pf your break, the last day, was the same as mine. In conclusion, our breaks were both very much alike because we treasured the time with family and we both disliked the end of our break.

The pit of my break is by far the day after Christmas. First of all, for the entire months of November and December, Christmas is always built up so much. When it's over, there's a sort of emptiness in me that New Years cannot fill. It's so disappointing! Second of all, this year didn't even have snow. It was bad enough that Christmas couldn't be delightfully white outside, but the day after it felt like March. Gray slush filled all the places that dead grass did not. Lastly, I came down with the flu the day after Christmas. So much for happy holidays. As you can see, the day after Christmas was not satisfactory for me.

Dear Morgan Fiedler, your break sounds delightful. First, it was tremendously similar to mine because after seeing the new Star Wars, I re-watched all of the previous six movies. I also saw the movie with my siblings and my dad, which brought back nostalgia from when I was younger. Lastly, both of our younger siblings seemed to get into Star Wars; I am with you when you say that it's exciting to be able to teach them about things like that. In conclusion, our breaks were similar.

2) The pit of my Break would have to be coming back to school. First, I got used to staying up really late ands sleeping in till really late. Secoundly, I liked just staying at home cuddling with my cats. Lastly, school equals getting up really early and doing tuns of homework. In conclusion, the pit of break would have to be it ending.

3) Dear Farrah,

your break seemed to turn out okay like mine. It was similar to mine with hanging out with family and doing fun activitys. Secoundly, I also saw Star Wars, it was so amazing. Lastly, I'm glad that your surgery turned out okay and you healed so fast. In cocnlusion, we spent most of our break together and it turned out great.

2) The pit of my break was when the last day of break came. First of all, I realized that I couldn't sleep in anymore. Next, it felt like the shortest two weeks of my life. Lastly, I realized that I barely did anything all break. In conclusion, the pit of my break was when I realized that break was pretty much over.

3) Dear Rachel Keuning, your break sounds very similar to mine because we both spent time with our family on Christmas. Also, you said you actually got along with your siblings, I surprisingly did too. And, you said that the pit of your break was when you had to read TKMB. I agree with you the book is really boring. In conclusion, our breaks were pretty similar.

Over Christmas Break, my pit of it all was the hard time shopping. I only get $50 a week, and I like to go all out when I'm buying gifts for my friends, but that gets tough sometimes. For example, some of my friends were hinting what they wanted, which helped somewhat, but it also made things even tougher to an extent. Luna complained that the wind messes up her hair. What does that mean. Do you want hair spray? Gel? A hat? Is that a hint or a complaint? I don't know. I'm just trying to Christmas!! Also, there was another friend said that she would like a table for Christmas. That's easy, but then she said that she would be picking it out herself. Why would you tell me what you wanted me to buy if you were going to go ahead and buy it yourself?! All in all, Christmas shopping was a harsh time, especially since it was last-minute and we had a time limit, but I still managed to get through it.

Dear Jared McCormick, you break sounds unique. First of all, it was different from mine, since I don't think anyone else has Mexican food as their Christmas dinner, but that must've been awesome! Who doesn't like Mexican food?! Also, the fact that we all had to go back to school is kind of lame, but at least it was fun while it lasted. All in all, your break sounds way better than everyone else's just for the Mexican food, but I still think XBox is better than PS4.

2.The pit of my break was seeing the new Star Wars movie.First, It was the greatest worst movie I have ever seen.Also,Han Solo dies,so that kind of ruined my childhood because he got stabbed and he fell off of a bridge.Finally,that movie was really depressing.In conclusion,the pit of my break was the new Star Wars movie.

3.Dear Jacob K.,your break sounds exciting.It was similar to mine because I got the new Star Wars BattleFront and Assasssin's Creed.Also,I would also like to confirm to fact that Han Solo is in fact dead and that I saw the new Star Wars movie.Finally, I also spent a lot of time with my family.

2. The pit of my break was having to read TKMB. First of all, that book is really boring. Also, I cant get into the book at all, so it is hard to read. Finally, it reminded me that I was going to have to go back to school soon, and it made me sad. As you can see, having to read TKMB was the worst part of my break.

3. Dear Colleen Kinney,

Your break sounds fun. It was similar to mine because we both enjoyed spending time with our families. I can relate to having to clean your house because my relatives came to my house on New Years day and I had to clean my house. In conclusion, our breaks were pretty similar.

2. The pit of my break was right after I got home from my cousin's house and I got sick. First of all, I had two weeks to get sick and of course, it had to be the weekend right before school started again. Also, it wasn't just a little cold. I felt like I was going to die because of how bad I felt. Finally, my stomach was killing me and we didn't have any Vernors! I made my Mom go to the market so I could have some to make my stomach feel better. In conclusion, the pit of my break was getting sick and feeling as if I was going to die.

3. Dear Jarrett Childers, your break sounds pretty good. It was similar from mine for many reasons. First, when I was sick, I ended up staying in bed for almost the entire day, but for a whole different purpose. Also, I would assume the rest of our sleep schedules were the same because when I was sick, I woke up early and couldn't fall asleep at all, even though I had been up for a long time. Finally, we both got some type of video games for Christmas. In conclusion, your break sounded pretty cool and ours were pretty similar for the most part.

2.) The pit of my break was when I was at Mallory's house for New Years and her and Claire pulled a mean, scary prank on Jada and I. The whole reason why they decided to prank us was because I put whipped cream on Mallory because she was the first to fall asleep. So Mallory faked having sleep walking issues. She sleep walked up the stairs and to the kitchen. We followed after her to make sure she didn't fall and get hurt. Jada, Claire and I went back downstairs and Mallory followed us, (still supposedly sleep walking) as Mallory walked by us she tossed a knife at Jada and I. At This point, I was totally freaking out. I ran as fast as I've ever ran up two flights of stairs, all while crying my eyes out like a little baby. I had almost made it to Mallory's parents room when Claire stopped me at the last second to tell me it was all a prank. I paused in disbelief then I started crying even more because I was so mad and freaked out. In conclusion, overall my Christmas break was definitely one to remember.

Dear Ali McIntyre, your break sounds very interesting and memorable. It was similar to mine because you procrastinated to do your homework and I did as well. It was different because from how you described your break, you were not emotionally scarred from a prank. I think its wonderful that you, and all your brothers and sisters we all together making memories to last forever.

2. The pit of my Christmas Break was doing all the chores in the house. First of all, I couldn't sleep in at all. I had to wake up early to go and feed my cats because they like there can food in the morning. Next i had to do the dishes. Lastly I had to fold the clothes and put them all away. In conclusion, I hate doing work to get something in return.

3. Dear Kaylee Long your break sounds a lot like mind Mallory and Claire pulled the same prank on us. I also had my family over for Christmas Break and your family sounds fun to be around.

2. The pit of my break had to be when I slept 16 hours in one day. I felt very tired on the 27th as the previous day I had been up for 30 hours straight, so I figured at midnight it was time to doze. It took 5 weird dreams to get me out of my mini coma and I awoke to my alarm clock that read 6:45. I didn't think anything of it until I realized the little p.m. dot was in the corner and I quickly sprang up and attempted to sprint downstairs, tripping on every step on the way down. Upon landing on my back at the bottom, I instantly became the family laughingstock as my whole extended family (cousins, aunt/uncle, etc.) was there as well.

3. Dear Brent Arnold,

Your break sounds exactly like mine as we both binged Star Wars. You also slept a lot, strikingly similar to my break. I have a feeling that your family laughed at you a lot too, so we are in the same boat. However, we still should've binged the movies at Kandt's house. By the way, thanks for the flash drive of pirated Star Wars movies.

Sincerely,

Jarrett

The pit of my break was Wednesday, the day before Christmas Eve. I had to clean the whole house with my annoying sister, while still doing last minute gift wrapping. My morning started early like all, I got up went out to the barn and took care of all of the animals, but instead of coming home to eat a breakfast I had to do the dishes. Which I normally do everyday just not first thing, I also had to sweep, mop, dust, vacuum, clean two bathrooms, do a bunch of laundry, and the worst clean my room. It was all bad though, I did get to listen to music. This was however the downfall of my break.

Dear Mazzy Snay, your break sounds like you got to have a bunch of lazy days which are super fun. Its similar to mine because I got to see my mom, like you got to see your dad. Also, I had a star wars marathon, and saw the new movie as well. The difference would be I didn't see my friends or get sick. Being sick does not sound especially on the first day of break. Overall, it sounds like you had fun visiting your dad, and had a good break.

2. The pit of my break was watching Michigan State lose the cotton bowl. First, I can't say I didn't expect to see them lose, but I expected them to at least score a point. Secondly, because they lost this means their season is over and they can't play in the National Championship. Lastly, due to the fact of state not playing in the championship I couldn't tell you the next year they will have a team good enough to do it again. In conclusion, watching Michigan State get destroyed in the Cotton Bowl was the worst part of my break.

1. 3. Dear Jacob Kandt, you break sounds interesting. It was similar to mine because we both went to see the new Star Wars movie. I can relate to the sad feeling you felt when Han Solo dies. I also think it must have been fun seeing most of your family considering you don't see them much. All in all, your break sounded very fun and we had a similar break.

2. The pit of my break was New Years Eve because it wasn't really the most entertaining party you could go to. First, it was at my cousin's house..who wasn't even there. She left with a group of friends shortly before i got there, so I didn't have anybody to talk to. Secondly, for the six hours I was there, everybody (my mom, dad, brother, and aunt) played board games like Mexican train. Lastly, before the ball dropped, everyone was asleep, so the first seconds of 2016 were full of tired, sarcastic cheers and party poppers. In conclusion, my New Year's was a dud.

3. Dear Kendall Landry, your break sounds interesting. To start off, It was similar to mine because you were able to be with a lot of friends and family, but also missed the people you didn't get to see. For example, i wasn't able to see a lot of family from Kentucky and Tennessee. Lastly, I thought it was neat that you were on face time when the ball dropped, because i definitely wasn't entertained during New Year's.

The pit of my break would be when I didn't do anything for like four days and just ate food which is just terrible, so I started a diet and basically just worked out the whole last week of break because I felt like crap. I also had a major issue of going to bed on time as I'd get in bed at midnight and not fall asleep till seven in the morning, so I was dead the whole day afterwards. Also just saying watching State lose at the Cotton Bowl was just a terrible thing to see as the year was ending, not as bad as people in Dubai but it was still bad to see.

Dear Mr Jarrett R Childers, your pit of your break sounds similar to mine as we both had messed up sleep schedules, also I had a similar issue with waking up, but instead I had a cord from my heating blanket wrapped around me which caused me to trip, fall and slam into the wall.

2) The pit of my break occurred just after the New Year. First, I began to realize school was fast approaching, the stress and anxiety that had left at the beginning of the break returning without so much as a hint of a struggle. Next off returned my at-home responsibilities, which had been put on hold, given the student holiday. To pile it on in full for a third time, I noticed that my sleeping habits would have to change from my usual Night Owl tendencies to more of a Morning Dove, though, the title seems just too unfitting. In conclusion, the pit of my break was caused by my inevitable return to school, the ill-ease and sarcasm-flooded mindset settling back down into place.

3) Dear Jazmine Schott,

Your break sounds very similar to mine. First off, it sounds like you spent a good portion of it being with your family, as did it. Secondly, you complained about having to wake early to travel the houses of relatives, and despite not having stated so in my paragraphs, I, too, had to rise early to visit my Grandmother. Third, and final, you sound like you got just about as much sleep as I did, which was little to none, but our circumstances do differ. I feel bad for you, somewhat, but ii seems I pity myself more. 

-sorry dude-

The pit of my break was when I realized yesterday was Sunday, the day before School. Firstly, my break did not feel like it was 2 weeks long. I barley got anything done. Secondly, It was Sunday and I haven't even started my homework. Lastly, My friend had to go home and I actually had to get ready for school.

Dear, Karleigh Gerlach, your break sounded a lot like mine! First, Karleigh and I both wrote about how we both didn't want to go back to school. Secondly, I connect that stayed up late every night which made it hard to wake up this morning. Lastly i connect with the fact that I didn't want my break to end either. In conclusion, are breaks where very simular.

The pit of my break would have to be procrastinating on doing my homework. First of all, I would waste my whole day worrying myself about not getting it done, while I could have been doing it. Therefore, I waited until the very last day of break to do it, which probably wasn't the best idea but I always get my work done on time. In conclusion, I am a procrastinator but always get my work done.

Dear Madison Desloover,

Your break sounded amazing! It sounded very similar to mine, except being upset that Michiagn State lost because I was super happy about that. On the other hand, I agree that it's always better to be with your family at Christmas. For example, I think it's important to spend that quality time with them. To embrace the season of loving and caring and what better way to do that than with family.

The pit of my break would not being able to get around the first week or much all break. First, I was stuck on bed rest for a week after surgery because physical activity was not recommended. Secondly, I was busy catching up and cleaning at home. Lastly, I would rather see family than get out and I had a great break. In conclusion, not getting out of the house much would be the pit of the break.

Dear Karleigh Gerlach,

Your break sounds very similar to mine, mostly because you were over seventy five percent of the time because we both went and saw star wars in 3D. You also came over after my surgery to be there while I was in pain, so thanks! I also spent lots of time with my family as well. Glad you had a nice break!

The pit of my break was the Michigan state games. Michigan State lost to Iowa in basketball and stopped their winning streak. Then,On New Years Eve Michigan State lost to Alabama in the Cotton bowl.

Dear, Ali Mac

Your break sounds really good. It was similar to mine because, my brother came home from collage too and I procrastinated at doing my homework. Spending time with your family sounded really fun. I am glad you got to spend time with your family.

The pit of my break was not being able to see some of my friends i don't get to see a lot. For example my cousins Anthony and Sabrina came up from Tennessee and i have not seen any of them since i was little. Also my friend Nicole came here from Nevada and i did not get to see her. That was probably the worst of this break.

Dear Farrah Wood, your break sounds really great. Our breaks were pretty similar. I got to spend a lot of time with my family and eat a lot of sweets too. But the surgery part of your break doesn't sound all that fun. Im glad you had a good and speedy recovery.

2) The pit of my break was when the break ended. First off, this meant that we had to go back to scholl the next day. Also, I had to change my sleep schedule because I was staying up until 12. Finally, that meant that I had to go back to doing homework instead of having fun.

3) Dear Nick Preston,

Your break sounds like it was a good one. You were able to see your brother and sister that were in college, and without homework getting in the way, you were able to do whatever you wanted with your siblings. The pit of your break, on the other hand, sounds similar to my pitof my break. Going back to school, worrying about homework, and having restraints.

The pit of my break was the realization of the fact that I had to return to school very soon. First of all, going back to school would mean I would no longer have the freedom to spend my time as I wish. Second of all, I realized that I would be bound by the stress of having homework every night. Last of all, I realized that I would not experience a break of the same of greater size until summer, which would inevitably end as well. In conclusion, the stress of going back to school is very bad.

Dear Conner Downing, your break seems to be a good one. First of all, the fact that you only get 50 dollars a week isn't very heartbreaking. At least it's $50 more than what I get. Second of all, you got many gifts from your loved ones. Lastly, you apparently have a girlfriend. So your break seems to be very good.

2. The pit of my break was the fact that there was no snow all break. When there was snow, it was only like an inch, and then it was gone by morning. Me and my family have a tradition that the day after Christmas we go sledding on huge hills, but we couldn't due to no snow. Last of all, what kind of Christmas is it when it doesn't snow? In conclusion, I was very upset that it wasn't a white Christmas.

3. Dear Brent Arnold, your break sounds lazy. Our breaks are a lot similar, because I didn't do much but watch Netflix and sleep. Our sleep schedules were pretty much the same also. Although I did get more than three hours of sleep last night, I usually did go to bed around 1:30-2 every night. I guess you could say we both spent our Christmas Break the same.

The pit of my break would be the very first day of it. I had my three friends come over, Abby, Emily and Korisa. It was fun but then while we were watching Romeo and Juliet (very sterotypical, I know) I fell asleep and woke up with a fever. It wasn't awful but I felt bad my friends had to leave early the next morning.

Dear Jada, your break sounded exciting. It's similar to mine because I also went to my friends house for New Years Eve. It's different because my friend did not throw a knife at me. To conclude, your break sounded eventful and like a memory that will last. Hope it was fun. Love, Mazzy.

2. The pit of my break was having to come back to school. First, I had baseball workouts after lounging around for 2 weeks. Secondly, I had to wake up early after sleeping in the entire break. Lastly, I will be stressed again because of school work while I wasn't stressed before. It wasn't bad though.

3. Dear Julia Hendershot,

Your break sounded boring. Mine was similar because I really wanted snow and we didn't get that much. Ours is also similar because we got to see our family. In conclusion, our breaks sound very similar to yours, boring and non-white.

Secondly, the pit of my break was watching Michigan State lose to Alabama in the Cotton Bowl. To add to that, another downfall of my break was watching the spartans break their winning streak in basketball. Even though they lost to Iowa in basketball, I know as soon as we have Denzel Valentine back from a minor injury, they will be back at it.

Dear Breeana Barr,

Your break sounds good and bad, similar to mine. Well saying that we both went to our grandma's and did the same things and spent time with our family, it was very similar. Also, we both were watching the Michigan State games that ruined our break. On the other hand, the only thing that was different was basically that I only spent Christmas with my mom's side of the family not my dad's

The peak of my break was that there was a break. First During the break I could do whatever I wanted when I wanted to, like go outside or eat when I wanted to. Second with the break I did not have to stress out about having to do homework because we did not have to go to school. Finally the break let me see my brother and sister I have not seen for a few months because they were at college so I got to spend quality time with them. In Conclusion the peak of my break was the fact it was a much needed break, I got to do what I wanted when I wanted, I did not have to stress about homework, and finally my brother and sister came home.

2.

The pit of my break was the fact that that much needed break ended. First I gained all of my restraints that school gives me such as the time I wake up, when I eat, or when I can go outside. Next I have to start worrying about homework now that I'm back in school which may effect when I can do things I want like go outside. Finally with the end of break means I can no longer see all of my family such as aunts, uncles, or my sister who left for college until next year when she comes back from an internship.

3.

Dear Levi Beaver,

Your break sounds exciting, It was different from mine, because your basketball shows how competitive your family is, where as mine we just eat and talk on Christmas. In conclusion your break was far better than mine because a family wide basket ball game would be amazing.

The peak of my break was going to the new years party because we had a ping pong tournament and i won. The second thing that went great was the food. My cousins made fudge that tastes really good. Lastly my mom's birthday at the dorsey house because my cousin came home from California. He was stationed there in the air force.

2.

the pit of of my break was the days we had nothing going on because we had to go out in the barn and build the deck. Me and my brother Andrew had to cut the wood ant screw it into the deck then paint the other pieces that people would see, and it was freezing outside

3. Dear Nick Preston you explained the ups an downs is basically how I feel. It is similar because we needed that break to see family members. the Pit of your break is also one of mine.

2. The pit of my break was my internet being down. First,I couldn't watch any Netflix, which was torture. In addition, I was stuck at home for most of the time so I had little to do. Lastly, I couldn't use the internet to shop because we didn't have any. Having no internet was definitely the pit of my break.

3. Dear Mark, dude your break sounds pretty gnarly. First, you got to see your family and that's always nice. Also, you built a woodshed, so you must have stayed pretty busy. Lastly, you got really cold fingers and that's pretty gnarly feeling. In conclusion, your break sounds pretty nice for the most part.

2. The pit of my break was the last day of break. First, I realized that school was the next day. Second, I had to do a lot of cleaning up around the house. Finally, I had to finish up some homework that was handed out before break. In conclusions, the last day on winter break was the pit of my break.

3. Dear Jacki Morgan, your break sounds fun but upsetting. It was similar to my break because I enjoyed Christmas too. My Aunt made a lot of food that was really good. I also got to spend time with my family. In conclusion, our breaks were fairly similar.

The peak of my break was New Years Eve. First, it was the one day over break that I got to spend the day with everyone I wanted to spend time with, such as my family and some of my friends. Second, it was a very new experience because I have only celebrated New Years one other time. Finally, New Years Eve was the peak of my break because it was overall more exciting than the rest of my break. Consequently, New Year's Eve was the highest point of my Christmas break.

2.

The pit of my break was getting two teeth pulled four days before Christmas. Firstly, my mouth was bleeding for like two hours, and bled every time I brushed my teeth. Second, it was hard to eat anything because my mouth was in a lot of pain. Finally, my mouth tasted like blood for days because of my bleeding gums, which was not a good taste, if you couldn't already guess. In conclusion, the part of my break that was the least pleasant was getting two teeth pulled.

3.

Dear Kayla Halleck, your break sounds pretty good. It's different from mine, though, because you seemed to have had a lack of activities while I seemed to have a surplus. I wish I would've gone ice skating this break, but unfortunately I didn't. Overall your break sounded pretty fun

2.) The worst part of my break was that this was my first Christmas without my dad. First of all, it was basically just an awkward feeling. Then, i was pretty upset, but other people would cheer me up. Lastly, i got to visit his grave for the very first time, so i got to decorate it. In conclusion, i celebrated my first Christmas with my dad. 

3.) Dear Grace Rogers,

Your break seemed fun, but also tiring. I bet getting to see you grandma was super exciting, and getting to see her horse. It was most likely tiring though because you had to spend a day with someone you're not close with, at least you guys both like horses! Anyways, i hope you had a great break!

2. The pit of my break was when my cousins stayed with me. We had a Christmas party at my house with family, and my aunt talked my mom into letting the four of them stay the night. They are the worst kids I have ever met. They are all boys; 10 year old twins and an 11 year old. However, they all act 2. The 16 year old stayed too, but he wasn't the issue. The younger ones are the messiest, loudest people I know. Additionally, they are so addicted to their electronics that they cannot function without them. Worse yet, they scream and cry for what they want, lack common manners, and destroyed my house. I also have 3 and 4 year old siblings on top of that, resulting in overall chaos. I could've handled it for a day maybe, but then there was a snow storm. My aunt didn't want my 16 year old cousin driving an hour home, so they were stuck there until the next day. It was absolutely miserable, and definitely the pit of my break.

3. Dear Madison Revels, your break seems both good and bad. It was similar to mine because we both spent a ton of time with our boyfriends. Also, I've had trouble sleeping lately and always wake up around 9. It sounds like you had a lot of fun, aside from the lack of sleep and rainy Christmas. I'm ready for another break, and I bet you are too.

2. The pit of my break was coming back to school. Firstly, school is the bane of my existence. Furthermore, at school I have to deal with stress, work, activities, friends, enemies, and teachers. Also, not being on break means waking up before the sun feels well enough to peek over the horizon. To conclude, if the sun isn't up, I shouldn't be.

3. Dear Kayla Halleck,

Your pit sounds like my feelings for putting up the tree. Similarly, I was dreading all the lights and ornaments. Your christmas tree experience was different from mine because I got out of putting up the tree when my sister volunteered. Furthermore, your tree building sounds horrible and I'm very sorry for you. To conclude, putting up and taking down the tree sucks.

2) The pit of my break would probably be the weekend before we went back to school. First, I had slept in late almost everyday of break and I had to try to wake up earlier on these days to try to get used to it again. Second, most of my break was spent with family and friends, so on these last few days I had to try to finish all the homework that I didn't get done yet. Lastly, I wasn't looking forward to going back to school and I realized I only had a couple more days until I had to. These are reasons that the weekend was the pit of my break.

3) Dear Samantha Chauvin, Your break sounds very similar to mine! First, it was similar to mine because we both got to spend time with our family. Second, the pit of your break was the last day of break as was mine because we had to try to go to sleep earlier then normal. Lastly, you mentioned how we had to go back to school and this wasn't so fun for me to realize either. This is why I think our break was similar.

2. The pit of my break was New Years. First off, my parents left to go up north with some family the day before New Years eve. Second, they left me home with my brother, my sister, and my sister's boyfriend. Lastly, I wasn't allowed to have any friends over, so I was mostly stuck alone with my dogs all weekend.

3. Dear, Jessica Greene, your break sounds very entertaining. It was very similar to mine because we both spent time with family that we haven't seen in a while. Also, we both saw family that are from out of state. In conclusion, our Christmas breaks were pretty similar.

2. The pit of my break was yesterday because I knew I had to get up early today. I also had to do all my homework yesterday. Lastly, I had to clean my room, which I hate doing. In conclusion, yesterday was the pit of my break.

3. Dear Claire Rutkofske, your break was both similar and different from mine. My great grandma is 98 and it felt good to spend Christmas with her too. On the other hand, our pits are different. Mine is about yesterday being our last day of break and yours is about your cow. In conclusion, our breaks were similar and different.

1) The peak of my break was being able to spend time with my friends and family. First, I got to see family members that I only get to see a couple of times a year. Second, I was able to visit friends on more than just weekends. Lastly, I was able to pay more attention to my friends and family because I didn’t have as much homework to worry about. All in all, the peak of my break was having the ability to spend quality time with friends and family over the holidays.

3) Dear Dylan Matthews, your break sounded fun. First, It was similar to mine because we both were able to visit family that we only see on special occasions. Secondly, your break sounded like it was exciting because of the extra income and the ability to see your family. Lastly I can relate to the feeling of distress during the last few days of break. All in all, it sounds like your break was very family orientated and fun.

2. The pit of my break had to be when I had to put a show halter on my steer SImba. He doesn't really like to have things placed upon his head, so he threw a fit. He bucked up and down and drug me around the barn and slammed my dad and I around. It was frustrating working with an 800 pound animal who had a temper. Putting a show halter on my Steer was definitely the pit of my break.

3. Dear Rachel Keuning,

You break sounds very interesting. It was similar to my break because we both enjoyed Christmas with our families. Your problem with you TKAM sounds very boring and I hope you can be able to finish the book. Also, I wasn't disappointed with my presents either because i picked mine out too. Also, we had to clean our house to but that's just because all my mother does is make us clean. In conclusion, I am glad you christmas break was somewht excting.

The peak of my break was spending Christmas with my family, also I got to see everyone I don't get to see very often. Like seeing my grandma who is 83 this year. I also got to see my little brother and sister open the gifts that i got them this year. And I got to hand out the gifts this year which to most is not that special but in my family it is a very big deal. Then when everyone was done with gifts we all sat and watched ''The Christmas Story '', as a family.

2

The pit of my break had to been when my mom got rushed to the hospital for chest pain and she had to stay at the hospital for two nights and us kids where not allowed to see her till 12 the next night. The other thing has to be the fact that I hurt my neck and I have a Cast for just a couple days.

Dear, Justin Vincent

It sound like you had a good break, even with you having to do all the work in the cold. And the fudge sounds really good in the way you explained it.

The peak of my Christmas break was the fact that I was barely home and alone. Most of the time my grandma is working so it was nice to not spend my break completely alone. I really enjoyed hanging around Austen's family, probably because I enjoy his mother more than him. In all honesty, I can't really pick out which part was my favorite, I really enjoyed myself.

2. The pit of my break was that I got no sleep. I was up almost all night every night and waking up around nine o'clock in the morning. I struggle to sleep in most of the time mostly because I just got a belly button piercing and it was extremely painful to. Also, the rain was unbelievably depressing on Christmas.

3. Dear Amber Polzin,

Your break seems very much like mine. My whole family came over on Christmas Eve. There was about 100 people inside my house and they didn't leave until later that night. I can also relate to the cousins that cannot function without they're electronics, because I am that person only to avoid how obnoxious my family is and I've been on the same level on Candy Crush for the past two weeks. Also, all of the tiny children came barging in my room constantly, I understand your frustrations.

2. The pit of my break was the night before I came back to school. Firstly, I had to quickly finish all the homework I should have done a week ago. Secondly, the realization that I couldn't stay home and lay around was a very unpleasant thought that lingered in my mind throughout the day. Thirdly, I had become accustomed to sleeping in early and I wasn't looking forward to getting up at five. Finally, I was at my lowest the day before going back to school because I shouldn't be getting up when I usually go to bed!

3. Dear Jared McCormick,

your break sounds like it was a lot fun. It sounds somewhat like mine in the fact that I also was excited for Black Ops 3. I bet seeing your brother was a happy moment. I totally relate with your pit, I dreaded the return of school. Overall it sounds like you had a fun and eventful break.

The pit of my break is on Sunday when I had to come home from up north. First, all day was boring because I had to sit in a car and do my homework. I had a lot of homework to do so it made it kind of boring. Also, the car ride is like four hours long and it is horrible to drive with my family. In conclusion, the pit of my break was on Sunday when we had to come home.

Dear Justina Kudera, your pit of break is kind of like mine because you had homework and so did I. Also, I didn't like the feeling of thinking about school again. Also you shredded on skiis like me. In conclusion, our breaks were really similar because we did mostly the same things.

My break was amazing, and really fun, filled with many memorable moments. If I had to pick one, I feel that the peak of my break would have to be going to a bowling alley with my family and a lot of friends. First, we all started bowling. It was fun, although I was horrible at it, getting a score of 41, which is very bad. I only played the one game, for obvious reasons. Next, I ate some delicious pizza, and talked with my friends about nerdy video games and card games. Then, I grabbed a few dollars and went straight to the arcade. I went to my favorite machine, and inserted my first quarter. The game was none other than the classic space-shooter known as Galaga. Soon enough my friends began crowding me and watching me play. I was doing well, so they gave me some of their quarters so I could continue playing and increase my score. Even other kids I didn't know began giving me quarters. Eventually I had to stop, but only because I had to leave. Otherwise, I would've continued. However, I certainly left my mark on that machine, making it to level 101 with a high score of 716,620, essentially doubling the previous high-score. It might not seem like much, but entering my initials into the machine was certainly satisfying. In conclusion, one of the peaks of my break would have to be going bowling with my friends, in which I conquered the arcade.

Pit

There weren't many times in my break where I felt that it was a pit, but if I had to pick one, I would have to pick babysitting my younger cousins. It wasn't that bad, and I am getting rewarded for it, yet it wasn't exactly what I would call a fun time. First, my brother and I got to the house, in which our uncle explained to us some simple things such as how to work the phone, letting the dogs out, etc. Next, they left, and we were set with the task of watching and playing with our cousins for around 6 or 7 hours. These cousins were Drake, an eight-year-old boy, and Dakota, a four-year-old girl. For what seemed like days I had to play tag, pirates, and doctors with Dakota, although eventually things settled down. Later in the day, we were all sitting on the couch and watching Looney Tunes and Counting Cars. It didn't take much longer for our uncle and aunt to get home. My brother and I talked with our uncle for a while before he drove us home, and that was the end of it. In conclusion, although it wasn't horrible, the pit of the break would have to be looking after my cousins for most of the day.

Response to a Peer (Melanie G.)

Dear Melanie Griffin, I think your break sounded nice, but maybe a little laid-back. But hey, there is nothing wrong with that at all, in my opinion! Anyways, first I shall respond to your peak. I'm slightly jealous of your peak, to be completely honest. I enjoy art and drawing as well, although I'm not the best when it comes to faces. That is why I'm slightly jealous of that. I agree that it is definitely a rewarding thing to think about. Next, I agree that your pit certainly isn't good, and I understand how you feel. However, there is the possibility that these friends were busy, which could be true considering Christmas and New Years were a part of the break. Besides, it is nice sometimes to just spend time with family around the holidays. In conclusion, from what you stated, your break sounded somewhat uneventful, yet still nice and relaxing, which is certainly acceptable.

2) The pit of my winter break was most likely seeing my one cosine. Every since she picked up showing horses last summer me and her haven't been getting along.One reason is simply the fact that she doesn't do the classes I do and still thinks she's better. Second reason is we both train and work our horses differently. Adding this all up seeing her was the pit of vacation.

3) Dear Karissa Scott, you're break's peak sounds somewhat similar to mine. It's similar to mine for the fact that you don't get to see your mom's side often and neither do I. Also you wanted to see family and i did too, only i was looking more forward to seeing one certain person. All in all hope you're break was good.

2.The pit of my break was the day after Christmas. First of all all I did was sit at home. Secondly all my friends were out doing things while I was at home. Finally my little sister annoyed me all day and I couldn't get away. In conclusion the day after Christmas was the worst part of my break.

3.Dear Karissa Scott, your break sounds fun. Your break was similar to mine because I also seen my family I don't see that often. It sounded terrible when you had to cut wood and even worse your trailer broke. I was shocked when you said you go to five houses for Christmas. In conclusion your break sounded fun.

2: The pit of my break was most likely trying to take down the Christmas tree. I disliked taking down the tree because it was a rather long, tedious task. I would have preferred sleeping for that time instead of picking up an ornament, and placing it in a box. Trying to take the lights off the tree was even worse. Everything got tangled up with each other. It was very annoying. Overall, I disliked trying to take down a Christmas tree that I really did not feel like putting up in the first place.

3: Dear Jessica Greene, your break sounds more productive than mine. While mine consisted of mainly sleeping and watching Netflix, you saw your cousins and brother. Seeing your cousins sounded interesting since you said you had not seen them in a while.

2. The pit of my break would have to be the cutting wood to heat the house. First, it was cold the days that we did it. Also, our trailer broke so we had to crawl in the back of the truck to load the wood. Finally, it was countless hours in the woods, where there was nothing to do. In conclusion cutting wood would be the pit of my break.

3.Dear Kaylee Long, your break sounded fun. Our breaks were similar, because we both enjoyed seeing our families.Also, our families both exchanged gifts, Finally, it sounded like you had a lot of fun, not including the prank that was pulled on you. Overall it seemed like you had a blast like me.

2) The pit of my break were the days I wasn't doing anything. For example just sitting around my house yelling at my sisters for jumping on the couch. Also going to practice over break was a little boring and not wanted for my Christmas break.

3) Dear Caitlin Houde, your break sounds like you had lots of fun hanging out with your family and friends. It is similar to mine because I hung out with my family and friends too. Also I thought it was very interesting that you had only celebrated New Years once before. I am glad you had fun and got to spend quality time with you friends and family

2. The pit of my break was that we had to make this giant woodshed. Building it wasn't bad, but it was so cold and we were out there for hours everyday. One day, my fingers got so cold I thought I might have had frostbit.

3.Dear Ali Mac, Well first, you're break sounded awesome! Second is I got to see you on Christmas and that was sweet, especially because I didn't break any bones. Last is that I didn't really want to do my homework either. I pushed it off until like 10:00 last night, and that rpobably wasn't good.

2. The pit of my break was the last couple days I had left before school. First off, I disliked these days because they were full of destruction. Secondly, I disliked these days because school was only a matter of days away. Lastly, I hated these days because I knew one teacher would want me to write about what happened over my break... In conclusion, the pit of my break were the days after New Years.

3. Dear Gina Messina, your break sounds like a blast. It was similar to mine because you also hated the last day before school got hyped up again. Also, I went out and shredded the slopes like you did. Lastly, our breaks were similar cause we spent most of our time with the fam. In conclusion, your break sounds pretty sick and you probably had fun.

2.) The pit of break would be waking up early and getting ready to come to school today. Firstly, I had to set two alarms since I wasn't used to waking up so early. Next, I wasn't even hungry so I only ate a banana for breakfast and now I'm super hungry. Finally, I never knew it was snowing so I wore my slides, and then my ride came in the driveway and that's when I found out snow was covering the ground. I had no time to change shoes so I was forced to wear them, and now my toes are very cold. In conclusion, the pit of my break was this morning.

3.) Dear Jacob Kandt, your pit sounds very saddening and I feel bad for you. It was quite different from mine because I just didn't want to go to school, but you had several things going on. For example, you went on a diet, which is a good thing, but then you felt sick which isn't a good thing. Then you couldn't fall asleep, which I can relate to, I didn't go to bed til one last night and then had to wake up at five. All in all, are pits had both similarities and differences.

Peak

My break surprisingly did have a peak, that being drawing faces well for the first time. Finally being able to draw faces on this app I have called Picsart is a big accomplishment of mine. Drawing faces had always been a challenge for me, so finally being able to do it was definitely a plus. Being able to draw something I’d been working hard at was so great and self-rewarding.

Pit

There were many pits to my break but the main one would have to be missing my friends. A few had talked to me over break, but a lot of the ones I’m closer with didn’t even make an attempt to come into contact with me. While I had tried to talk to them, the app I use has the capability of telling me if they read it or not and said friends had just read my messages and didn’t even respond. I’m not angry, I guess I’m just disappointed because they were the ones that I’m closest to and talking to them is always a highlight to my day. To reiterate, my main pit was my friends not even trying to come into contact with me.

Response

(2) The pit of my holiday break was yesterday with the realization that there was school the next day. The day was quite busy, so I didn’t have time to do anything that I enjoyed. I ended up going to bed late because of how busy we were. Also, because of us being busy, I was never able to relax before I came back. Not to mention I was in a car most of the day.

2- The pit of my break was supposed to have been my peak but when i got to my brother's house in Saginaw, unpacked in my room and went to go on my phone... no service. I went into the living room and said " Why didn't you tell me you guys did not get service here?!?!" because you would not of come they said. So there I was no service , no friends where I was and maybe worst of all a 6 year old brother who had nothing else to do but bug me. In conclusion Saginaw was the what seemed endless pit of my break.

3- Dear Tyler Stone , your break sounds both exciting and painful. It was so much different because new years eve I stayed home and just chilled with my family and i didn't do anything that has to do with excercise over break.

2. The pit of my break was riding a car long time to get to Florida.First, it took like all day to get there. Second,a car was not big enough so it's like squishy.Third,I just slept during car ride. In conclusion, the pit of my break was riding a car long time.

3.Dear Ashley Taylor

your break sounds like that you spent with your family a lot. It was similar from my break because I spent with my HOST family a lot. That was my first New Year's Eve and New Year that I did't spend with my Japaneses family though.Anyways you had good time with your family and that sounds so nice!

The peak of my break was spending time with my family. First, I went to a Christmas party with my mom’s side of the family and i got to see all my second cousins which was nice. Second, I seen my close family on Christmas day and we had a good time as we always do laughing playing games and just enjoying each others company. Lastly,I seen some of my close family on New Years Eve, but they didn't stay long nobody really stayed up to watch the ball drop besides me. In conclusion, my break was filled with family fun and lots  of sleep.

The pit of my break was realizing that we had to go back to school. First, Its gonna be hard getting back into my old sleeping habit and not staying up until 9 am and sleeping until noon. Second, the stress I have during school. When I get stressed I get irritated and worked up, and when I get worked up the occasional Panic attack hits and that is no fun. Lastly, homework, homework is the most stressful thing especially if it's not welled explained. In conclusion, the break was great until realizing you have to go rejoin reality.

Dear Kaleb Keidel, our breaks were very similar. I also visited family that I don't see often and my sleeping schedule was messed up too. It went from going to bed at 6 am and sleeping in til noon to going to bed at 11 pm and getting up at 5am.

2) The pit of my Christmas break was cheer practice and stressing over cheer and the fact we have to come back to school so soon and having to wake up at 6:00 which was very rough. Next i didn't do the things i wanted to do over break i honestly just went to practice, slept and i binge watched Netflix.

3) Dear Jacob Kandt the pit of your break sound terrible i'm sorry you didn't feel good and that's sucks to not go to bed until seven in the morning that sound dreadful i was upset to when state lost.

1. The peak of my break would be Christmas Eve. First, my moms family all got together to celebrate Christmas. Second, my sister came home from college so i got to spend time with her. Lastly, we all played games and got to hang out, which hasn't happened in awhile. In all the peak of my break was spending time with family.
   
2. The pit of my break would be today. First, I had to wake up at 5:30 a.m to come to school. Second, My sister left to go back to college. Lastly, it's snowing again. In all i want to go on break again.
3. Dear Emily Gill, your break sounds like it was a lot of fun. It was similar to mine because my family got together on Christmas Eve, played games and ate dinner together. In all it sounds like we both had a fun break.

2. The pit of my break was that my grandma in Clinton Township was has been sick since Thanksgiving. I am not really sure if she is getting better. I hope she is because I wouldn't want her to be sick to long. Also my grandma is Canada has been sick for a while. Unfortunately she is getting worse. The last time before I saw her for Christmas she looked bad, but now she looks even worse.

3. Dear Katie Brennan, your break sounds great. It is similar to mine because we both likes spending time with our family. It sounds like you had lots of fun spending time with both sides of your family. It's also great that you got to spend time with your friends also during your break. In conclusion I hope that you always enjoy spending time with your family for holidays, but also not just for holidays...always.

2. the pit of my break was the car ride from michigan to florida, it took too long to get there, and going back to Michigan were its cold, and go back to school the day after i came back here, and was missing my friends and real family in Greenland in the Christmas time.

3. Dear Ayaka Hasabe, your break sounds great. it was similar to mine because i there too. the weather sounds great and its interesting that to see wild animals conclude in some way.

2. The pit of my break would have to be the break ending. First, I messed up my sleeping schedule, so now i have to try and fix it. Next, now i don't get to stay up late anymore. Lastly, I don't get to enjoy the snow as much. In conclusion, break should of never ended.

3. Dear, Shane Roth

Your break sounds the exact same as mine, because i also spent time with family. First, the present were fun to open. Second, our food was also amazing. In conclusion, we had similar breaks.

The pit of my break happened on Wednesday and Sunday. I missed weight for my 112 lbs weight class on Wednesday , I weighed 112.8. and had to wrestle up to 119 . I did not win a single match . Then I missed my class again on Sunday but this time I was given an extra 2 lbs and still missed 114, I weighed 114.3 and again i wrestled up but this time i went to 121 lbs . I still did not win any matches . this week i am on weight and have made it under 114.

Dylan Matthews

I totally agree with the whole going back to school thing . I also got to see family that I don't normally see and am happy that you got to eat good food ....... I also was excited for black-ops 3 but spent most of my time wrestling .

2. The pit of my break was on New Years Eve. Michigan State was playing Alabama in the Cotton Bowl. It was the College Football Playoff semi finals. Alabama was ranked second in the country and State was third. State lost in a blowout 38-0. As you can see, it was a tough loss and definitely not one of my best parts of break.

3. Dear Brent, your break sounds boring. I´m a huge Star Wars fan but not I can´t even go a whole day of watching every movie. Your break was similar to mine in a way. I had trouble getting to sleep too most nights. The new Star Wars movie was the best and worst movie of them all. All in all, your breaking sounded boring and fun at the same time.

The pit of my break was my weight lifting meet the Saturday after we got out. At first I was doing good and I was taking first in all my lifts. But then we got to dead lift and all the kids were lifting more and more weight. When I went up to lift my second dead lift I got down and pulled as hard as I could and pulled both of my hamstrings. That is why it is the pit of my break.

Dear Angu,

Your break in Florida sounds awesome. First, I think that it is cool that you got to see Alligators and Dolphins. Second, it is pretty cool that you got to go some place that it was warm during Christmas. lastly it is cool that you got to spend all of Christmas with your family. I hope you had a great christmas break.

2. The pit of my break was going back to school. Mostly because I have to get up at 5:30 every mourning until the weekend at least. And it is tiring acting like a zombie throughout the week days. I didn't ever want the break to end so I suppose I just have to wait until mid winter break which i'm looking forward to.

Josh Fisher,

Your break sounds amazing! It was similar to mine because I also spent time with my family. We all had a big dinner and the next day went to church as well. I have three dogs of my own that I got to spend time with as well.

The pit of my break was the Michigan State Spartans losing to the Alabama Crimson Tide. First, the Spartan's offense didn't produce any points. Second, Conner Cook was sacked way too many times. Third, the Spartans got blown out in the second half. In Conclusion, the fact that the Spartans didn't score any points was very disappointing.

Dear Jillian, your break sounds very exciting. It sounds like you had a great time with your family. I had a great time with my family too

(2) The pit over my break is fairly depressing, you see I woke up one day after Christmas and went into the kitchen to find that I had ran out of pizza rolls. This tragedy struck my family bitterly we had ranch and everything , but the population of these delicious creatures was scarce. It seemed to turn into a mad house, everyone running around eating everything and anything trying to slay the fierce craving for the magical goodness. No one was successful. That is why my pit is so depressing.

(3) Dear Mr. Stone

My break was fairly different compared to yours. You see while were being athletic at your weight lifting meet I was at home on the couch doing nothing. I was in TV land while you were working out. Your pit sounded very painful it seems you need to be more careful.

Sincerely, your friend the pizza roll man.

2 The pit of my break was the trip home . first we had to pack up camp and clean up. Then we had to load the truck and then we still had a four hour car ride home.and the jeep i wanted to buy sold before i could get their.

3 Dear

The pit of my break was leaving North Carolina.First, it sucks leaving because I have to leave my Dad,Stepmom,and sister it was so much fun with them.Second, I have to come back to the bad weather.Finally, I didn't have enough time to spend with my family, break went by so fast it was trash.

Dear,Shane Roth 

Your break sounds like it was very fun.First, it was very similar with mine,and like how we spent time with family .Second,you had a fun with your family like I did with my family.Finally,we just had fun on break.In conclusion your break was awesome from what you put.

1] The peak of my break was being around family and friends, but no worries of getting busy homework and projects. Most of break was super amazing like Christmas and Christmas Eve, but i didnt like New years that much. Id say new years eve to new years morning was pretty boring until i got home and hung out with my dad. I texted my cousin to come over she couldnt because she was already at a friends house for a few days. Then, just Saturday my cousin and i had to babysit two girls,they were sisters so they fought the whole time. We had to watch them from 10pm-4am. So after they left, with my cousin I slept from 5am-2pm..That means i couldnt sleep last night sdd

at nd only got 4 hours of sleep for school today. 

2] The pit of my break was that break didnt feel long enough and my family didnt really go anywhere. We drove two hours away on Christmas to see my moms side of the family, thats it.

3] Dear Ayaka Hasebe, your break sounds like it was the best. It was different from mine because I didnt leave Michigan, yet luckily you went to Florida. Some things that sound interesting are seeing wild animals like manatees.

The pit of my break was doing homework all during break. Even though I spent the whole break doing homework I still didn't finish all of my homework. So my break was pretty boring expect for my birthday. I think my birthday was the best birthday I have ever had in a long time.

Dear , Ashley Taylor your break sounded really fun and busy. First, I think that its cool that you got to spend Christmas with your family. Your break is different from mine because you didn't celebrate a birthday. In conclusion you seemed to really enjoy your break.

The peak of my break was that instead of going to just one Christmas party I got to go to three. The first one was at my house where Got to open my presents from my parents. One of the things I got was a new laptop. The second party was at my grandmas she got me a new hat and sweatshirt. I got to eat a lot of food at my grandmas. The third one was at my aunts where I had a lot more food. That was the peak of my break.

Pit)

The pit of my break was that I had to deal with my cousins, brother, and sister during New Years because they kept trying to steal my laptop.

Response)

Dear Ryan Farquhar your break sounds fun. It was different from mine because we had plenty of pizza rolls in our freezer.

(2) The pit of my break was the day's getting closer by to the return of school. For example, I hate the feeling of homework when i'm at school and want to do other things when i'm home like go to the movies and stuff. Also I dislike having projects that are due over the weekend or break because it takes my free time away. Furthermore, when packets are issued, they usually are due during the next two days not enabling one to complete it unless they want to go for it and do it all in one day which takes a lot of time away. In conclusion this was the pit of my break.

(3) Dear Ethan Bartee, your break sounds pretty decent. In fact, it was similar to mine because I got a video game that i wanted to. Also, getting a game that you wanted normally but you may not have been able to get sounds really cool. Furthermore it really sounds like the Spartans didn't put in the effort they needed in that game. In conclusion it seems like we both had a great Christmas.

The peak of my break was spending time with all of my family and friends. First, on Christmas eve we had a party with my family and it was tons of fun. My cousin Jillian is an actor and so a few months ago she moved to New York to make a career out of it, so she came home to visit for a few days. Lastly, opening presents on Christmas Day, I got a new phone, shoes and other stuff. I'm extremely grateful for the things I got. In conclusion, the peak of my break was family, friends, and presents.

The pit of my break was having to spend Christmas eve and day, without my Nana. She passed last Christmas eve and the holidays were not the same without her. Another sad part of my break is that there was no snow on Christmas... Lastly, the worst part of my break was coming here today.

Dear Emily Gill, your break sounds fun. It was similar to my break because we both spent time with family and we both dreaded coming to school today. I honestly like cleaning, it makes me feel organized and neat, so that sounds fun. You seemed to really enjoy your break. :)

2.)The pit of my break was not being able to ride my snowmobile or go snowboarding.I was hoping that it would snow but I guess i can wait until this weekend.During break I had to help out with my little brother,Cole, by giving him a bath, changing his diaper,and feeding him.Feeding him wasn't all that bad he falls asleep every time.So, it always works out. Most of the time.

2. The pit of my break was when I realized school was today and I got sick New Years day. The first thing I did when I realized today was school I rolled my eyes and realized I had homework to do. Then today when I woke up I did not want to come here. Lastly here I am, at school, writing this.

3. Dear Karly Jones, your break sounds fun. It was similar to mine because we both spent a lot of time with our families.

2.) The pit of my break was when I realized school was today when I actually had to go to bed at a reasonable time not like 3 in the morning. When my alarm clock went off this morning I slept through it my mom had to wake me up at 6:30. Its a good thing my mom drives me to school everyday or else I would have missed the bus.

3.) Dear Meghan Delor, your break sounded okay. It was similar to mine because I spend Christmas with out my grandma also.

2 The pit of my break was coming home first we had to say goodbye then we had to clean out our hunting camp and pack our truck and we still had a 4 hour car ride home .

3 dear Nick Behem your break sounded like fun it wasn't exactly like mine but we both did watch that game it was terrible.

2) The pit was the Sunday before school. First, I didn't finish any of my homework. Also I didn't wake up the next day for school. I also had a good amount of chores to conquer. In conclusion, the third of January wasn't fun.

3) Dear $tephen, peak was similar to my, like spending time with family. Also, I got video games too for Christmas. Although you still have most of your games, one of mine is gone, which stinks. In conclusion , we had similar peaks.

P.S. Stephen doesn't have a cash money sign.

The peak of my winter break was the party at my friend’s house. This party was just after Christmas with all my closest friends where we started off just playing simple board games. Then, after listening to a long talk about the new Star Wars movie we got to watch all the little children duel it out with toy lightsabers around the house, trying to avoid the Griswald family sized christmas tree. Finally, all the older kids were able to find the TV in the mass chaos of kids flooding to the playroom around midnight to catch a rerun of SNL, while the parents planned out the get togethers for the upcoming week. In conclusion, this was my favorite out of many parties I attended over break with my best friends, also known as my peak of the break.

The pit of my break was the very last day and knowing that the fun was about the end. First, the boredom of not being able to have friends over to hang out because we have to get ready for school the next day. Next, I had to listen to my favorite football team lose to a team they whooped at the beginning of the season. Finally, I stayed home and did nothing the whole day, and if there is nothing I hate more then wasting the day away like I did. All in all, it was a really fun break other than the last day knowing I had to go back to school.  

Dear Meghan Delor, your winter break sounded really fun filled. It sounds similar to mine because your Christmas party you said you had tons of fun at your party like I had ton of fun at my craziness of a party. It is so cool that you got to see your cousin that now live in New York, I wish her the best on her career. I am glad I got to see a connection between our breaks and that I did not do something that no one had done besides parties on new year's eve.

The pit of my break was the Sunday before school. First, I forgot what homework had already done, and what I still needed to get done (most of it still needed to get done). Second, I took a ton of my things out of my backpack so I had to get all of it ready for the next day. Then, after all of that is done and figured out I had to finish the homework I neglected to do in the fifteen other days I had off. In conclusion, the pit of break was the day before we came back to school.

t

The pit of my break was being sick the day before we had to go back to school. First, it made it nearly impossible to enjoy my last day of freedom. Also, I had a little homework left and it made me not lethargic and I did not want to do it. Finally, nobody likes to be sick and this made the notion of going back to school that much worse.

Dear Mark Donnellon, our breaks were very similar. First, we both spent Christmas with our families. Also, we both put off our homework until the last day. Lastly, we both did not want to go back to school and were not ready to lose the freedom the break had provided.

2.)The pit of my break was the last two words of my peak. (I will not copy my own writing because that would be plagiarism.)

3.)Dear Noah Runnals I see your break seemed to go quite well very similar to mine, but i also happen to know that some of those new games you got for XBOX ended up stolen by somebody, so your peak is pretty poor. Lastly I can't believe your pit because you seem to be up for School right now?

(2) The pit of my break was when i was sick on Christmas and realizing that there was school. I was sick on Christmas Eve and then I was on Christmas day too. Then I had to get all of my homework done. Lastly i had to get up really early this morning and it stunk.

(3) Dear Katie Brennan, your break was similar to mine because our peak was to spend time with family and we were both upset when we realized that we had school.

2.) My pit was having to go back to school. Break felt so short. But that was probably just because I had so much fun. It was great.

3.) Dear Dylan Mathews, your break was like mine because we both were happy to spend time with our families.

The pit of my break was losing $10 dollars to my dad. Even though i wanted Alabama i still bet for Michigan State because i thought they had it. But the final score was the total opposite of what i believed was going to happen. Glad that Bama won though!

Dear Nathan Hazel, are break was similar because we both enjoyed spending time with our families.

2.)The pit of Christmas break was most definitely the game. First, the opposing team lead us on or something in the first half leaving the game close. Second, their defensive line was destroying our offensive line. Then, our quarter back threw the pic that degenerated my hope for the win. In conclusion, the 38-0 blowout in the Michigan State vs Alabama game nearly destroyed my break. 

3.)Dear Mitchell Keith, we had very similar breaks. We both loved spending time with are family and dispised the turnout of the Cotton Bowl game.

2.] The pit of my break was loosing my great grandma. Having to go to a funeral over break is never fun. Also, the sadness you go through is also not very fun. So that was the horrible pit of my winter break.

3.] Dear Sarah Steen, are peaks of winter break were very similar. First, we both loved getting together with family. Also, we both thought that Christmas was the peak. Lastly, we both went to other peoples houses and visited them. That is why are peaks of winter break are very similar.

2. The pit of my break is when my sister wheeled around with her wheel chair which she doesn't need and was hitting everyone in the house with it. Then I realized that school was today which made the pit get even bigger.

3. Dear Sarah Steen, my break was like yours because I got to see a lot of my family that I haven't seen in a while.

2) The pit of my break was that i wasn´t able to decorate a Christmas tree this year. Also, i spent my New Years Eve all by myself in my room watching Alvin and the Chipmunks while on the phone with my best friend Evency. As well as my family butting heads quite a bit about all kinds of different things throughout my whole entire break.

3) Dear Mariah Martin, It sounds like a really great Christmas. I know what it´s like to have close family in the military and aren´t always able to be home for any holidays. Also, Christmas parties are always fun. The food, the family, and the celebration is always something to remember. All this as well as getting everything you wanted for Christmas is always an awesome bonus. I´m so happy for you that you had an overall seemingly good Christmas and New Years break.

2. The pit of Christmas break was driving, to get to my cousin's cabin. First off, it took nine hours, in a cramped car. Secondly, I was trapped in between my brothers, so I had no room to stretch out and get comfortable. Lastly, counting down the hours from nine all the way to the last couple minutes, it took a really long time. In conclusion being in the car was the worst part about Christmas break.

3.Dear Samantha Chauvin, our break was similar in the aspect that we liked being with family. Also going to our grandparents for Christmas, that was a blast. Furthermore I thought it was similar because you said you had a great time with your brothers, I did too, other than in the car.

1. The peak of my break was getting to spend time with family I normally don't see. First, my family has many different events for the holidays. For example, cookie making and a christmas party. Second, my family likes to play games a lot it's kind of like competitions. Finally, my family just loves to spend time together. In conclusion, the peak of my break was getting to see my family I don’t see.

1. The pit of my break was not having snow on christmas. First, my family likes to go and have snowball fights it was a bummer when we couldn’t. Second, white christmases are the best. Finally, we couldn’t go sledding much this year because there wasn’t a lot of snow. In conclusion, the pit of my break was not having snow.

1. Dear Jazmine Schott, your break sounds fun. First, it’s similar to mine because we both spent time with our family. Second it’s different because you stayed home for most of it while i wish i had but was too busy to stay home. Finally, it’s similar again because we both didn’t get very much sleep. In conclusion, it sounds like you had a pretty fun break.

2) The pit of my break was sitting home with nothing to do for 4 days straight. First, none of my friends were home because they were all gone with their extended families, so I had nobody to hang out with. Second, Nobody in my house was home for the weekend and I got really lonely and bored out of my mind. Lastly, when my family got home, all they did was want to sleep because of their long weekend. In conclusion, the pit of my break was being bored out of my mind.

Dear Jillian Warner, Our breaks were very similar because i got to see family that I haven't seen in forever as well.

2) The pit of my break was when I couldn't read the new books in my favorite series because I "had to sleep". First off, I had gotten the rest of books in the series, and would not have had to wait because I have them all. Secondly, because it was break I didn't necessarily had to wake up to do strenuous mental activity. Finally, I had a reading light and could've read when my parents went to bed anyways (so I did).

Dear Nathan Hazel,

Our breaks our similar because we both spent our breaks hanging out with family we don't really get to see on a daily basis.

2.) My pit of my break is when my airsoft battery charger was broken. First, I had plugged it in for 5 hours so I could make sure it was fully charged because it takes 3 hours to charge. Then I had a friend over so we can shoot the airsoft gun and have fun. Then lastly we could not shoot it because the battery did not charge and we found out that the charger is broken, now I gotta buy a new one, Merry Christmas. 

3.) Dear Dylan Wofford, your break sounds like a blast. it was similar to mine because you shot guns except that I only shot at targets, and people. Wish I could have shot squirrels with you, good luck next time!

2) The pit of my break, sad enough to write about, was the one day when I realized how big of a part my friends are in my typical daily routine. It was an unhappy day. To start off, both of my parents were out at work and my sister was low on sleep, so she was very cranky and mas at me. There was very little positive energy in the house. Second, I missed my friends dearly. I missed the conversations you can only have in real life, their jokes, and physically being with the people (of your age) who you love. I hadn't seen them in over a week, and it was depressing me. Lastly, being bored and alone left me plenty of time to think, which left me remembering past Christmases with people who were no longer in my life. The nostalgia was heart-breaking. All-in-all, I could definitely go without that day in my break, as it was the pit of it.

3) Dear Allisen Borowski, it appears that Christmas break for you was a special time that comes every so often, and is enjoyed when it arrives. The peak of your break reminded me of when my family and I also went out shopping during our two weeks off, to spend a bit of Christmas money. We had fun and en

1. The peak of my Christmas break would have to be the fact that I got to see my cousins and the rest of my family as much as I did. Not even counting our annual Christmas Eve party at our grandparents’ house, it seemed like our families grew a lot closer and spent a lot more time together during the weeks that we had off. Needless to say, there never really was a dull moment. I still got plenty of time to just sit back and relax all on my own though, and that’s always nice. To sum it up, Christmas break felt just like a really long weekend, but with a lot more people to spend it with.

2. The pit of my Christmas break would have to be the fact that some nights I’d stay up too late, and then ending up sleeping in much too early for my liking. I wanted to spend every minute of my break wisely, but I ended up squandering a lot of my time through my own poor decisions. To make matters worse, every time I slept in late, I’d end up staying up later due to having woken up later in the day, which would make it harder to put my sleep schedule back on track. On a completely unrelated note, I managed to fall asleep on time last night. Then I woke up three hours too early. I couldn’t fall asleep after that.

3. Dear Gabriel Pociecha,

Dear Joe Hayduk your break was just like mine i went to see the new Star Wars movie and it was the same way I refused to get off my game until she told me we where going to a movie and i said ok fine when we got there she told me Star Wars I was so happy.

2) The pit of my break was when i was riding my four wheeler at the gravel pits and i went off a 10 foot jump and landed wrong and fell off the four wheeler and the four wheeler ran me over,it really hurt.

3)Dear morgan fiedler it sounds like your break was a fun and delightful break it was similair to mine becuse i hung out with my family and we watched movies as a family.

2.) The pit of my break was i was sick for half of the break. It seemed after I got it everyone else in the house did to.

3.) Dear Emily Ingles,

It seems you had a lot of fun for Christmas break.

The pit of my break was being bored at home with absolutely nothing to do, also drinking to much pop and not feeling good.

Dear Donaven,

My presents weren't under a tree like yours and most others, they were just on a table because my grandma didn't have a tree up, but I also had fun like you did.

2) The pit of my break was when I had stayed up until 4 am and i realized I had to get up at 8 the next or I guess technically the same day. The next day, I was so tired that I couldn't even stand for more than 5 minutes before I started to fall and doze off. The reason I had to get up so early was actually so I could go to my aunts for Christmas, on Christmas day. So, while opening gifts people kept having to nudge me so I could open my gifts. This was the pit of my Christmas break.

3) Dear Emily Jed, It sounds like your Christmas break was much more exciting then mine. You seemed to have a much better time from that one paragraph. Your Christmas day was more eventful then my entire break. Glad to hear that everyone was home and that you had fun.

Sincerely, Cade (Moose)

The pit of my Christmas break was my Dad going into the basement two days before Christmas and seeing his present. Also not having any snow made it really boring.

Dear Lydia Hill,

Seems like your Christmas was somewhat similar to mine we both went shopping and hung out with our family. However you had to travel much more than me and my family. I bet seeing Daddy´s Home was very funny.

2) The pit of my Christmas break was when i realized i only had a couple more days till we had to come back to school. First, my sleep scheduled was all over the place. Some nights i wouldn't go to bed till three in the morning and wouldn't wake up till noon. Secondly, I didn't have any of my homework done, so I had to rush and do it. Therefore, my pit of Christmas break was realizing we had to come back to school in a couple days.

3) Dear Alicia Ferguson, our breaks were kind of similar because we hung out with friends. Also hanging out with family and going shopping.

2) The pit of my Break was going to bed last night and knowing I had to wake up early. Then hearing my alarm just killed me.

3) Dear Jeff Deiotte,

I think that you had a Great Christmas with your family i bet you got a lot of cool stuff to play with. One of the similar things was hanging out with are family's.

2.The pit of my break had to be coming home to go to my cousins wedding. First, I had to pack all my things up which took forever. Second, on the car trip home we had to go through Detroit. Which I'm deathly afraid of getting shot when we go their. in conclusion the pit of my break had to be coming home from all my joys and laughs.

Dear Alicia Ferguson,

it looks like you had a more exciting break than mine. seriously you broke your bed! good thing you fixed it. your dad cheated at Christmas and that is not fair girl, but overall your vacation sounded like a lot of fun.

2) The pit of my break was I didn't get a deer and when we came home. The reason I didn't want to come him is because my brother and sister came home from college and they had to go back when we came home. Also,we throw a Christmas eve party with all my aunts,uncles,and cousins I don't see much and not many people could make it this year. In conclusion,I still had a good break.

3) Dear Jeremy Darling,I think you had a great Christmas and it sounds a lot like mine with the hanging out with you cousins and family. Also how you had a Christmas eve party too. In conclusion,I think you had a great break.

2) The pit of my break was when i got into a fight with my brother and my sister. Eventually our fight brought us closer together i think. That was the worst part about break.

3) Dear Jenna Crerar,

Your break sounds very fun and kind of boring (even though i wasn't mentioned) . Your school morning was worse than mine. i Hope you have a better one tomorrow. Next food for breakfast is over rated anyway you dont really need breakfast.

Love,

your best friend sarah

2) The pit of my break was when I didn't get any 3DS games, but I still got Pokemon cards.

3) Dear Rianne Helewski,

I think it was dumb how the pizza place stopped delivering the day before, but I think pizza is worth walking out in the cold for.

2. The pit of my break was getting into a (verbal) fight with my mom on new years, we don't get along at all and it always happens. Then my 32 year old sister called me crying because she missed my mom an I and wanted us to be there for Christmas. Also, not being able to see any of my brothers on Christmas was probably the worst part. I haven't seen my brothers in over 3 years because they think they're too good for family.

2.) The pit of my break was having to go back to school. Because I can't sleep in anymore.

3.) Dear Dylan M, i hated the night before school too

The pit of my break was knowing that I had to wake up in the morning and go back to school. I am going to miss sleeping in.

Dear Isiah, are break sounds similar because you hung out with friends

2.The pit of my break was Sunday when i realized i have too get up early and go too school. but i am happy to be at school because i like to see my friends and talk too them about are break.

3.Dear, Stephan McClelland sounds like you have a pretty intresting break man. i like too also hang out with my cousins and family. also sound like your a real prankster.

2)The pit of my break was that we didn't get snow until the end of break.

2.The pit of my break was I couldn't go see a movie cause we had work to do around the house.And the fact that state lost.

3 Dear Bailey Holman,

Sounds like you had a good break. Nice job on the game.I also like it when me and my team win games.

I'd have to say the pit of the va-ca was looking outside and there was no snow at all.I was so dippresed,i was waiting to go snow boarding on the new ramp my dad made.The best thing besides that was playing out in the mud.Not only was it muddy but it was rainy and cold.

Dear,Dylan Daggett

I hear you man it is always the best thing to be with your grandmother on Christmas.I also have a nice dinner every Christmas eve also.The last week of break does stink but you get used to it.Hope you had a great break.

2.The pit of my Christmas break would have to be the last weekend of break around New Years where we had to go back to school. This is my pit because I really hate going back to school after such a long break. This was one my best breaks ever though which adds to the fact of me hating going back to school. Anyway this really was not my favorite part of break because I had to leave my dad's house and the next day go back to school and not have another thing like this until Spring, 

3. Dear,

2) The pit of my break was most likely having to worry about homework. First, I was going to start my homework the day I got home from school, but instead I just decided to watch TV. Second, I waited so long that there was only a few days left of break and I still had to finish my homework packet and finish reading my book. Therefore, the next time I have homework on break I will finish it to get it all out of the way.

Dear Christina Keegan,

It sounds like you had an exciting break, hanging out with your cousins and getting to meet new family members for the first time. overall, your Christmas Break sounded interesting.

The pit of my Christmas break was when me and my brother were pulling each other through the woods on a sled with the four-wheeler. It was really fun until he decided to fling me across the "frozen" pond and i broke though the ice. i was soak and freezing. It was a long ride back to the house.  

Dear Jacob Jonseck, Sounds like you had fun during break. the pit of your break i think everyone felt waking up this morning.

The pit of my break was not being able to open presents Christmas morning. First, my brother was going to stay home and celebrate Christmas with our mom. Then he decides, at the last minute, to go to his dad's and open presents there Christmas morning. So instead we waited to open all the presents when he got home, which was six o'clock at night. In conclusion, this isn't the worst thing that could've happened, but I sure hope it doesn't happen again.

Dear Ryan Farquhar,

Though I love you with all of my heart, you have an addiction to pizza rolls. First of all, I feel they are getting in the way of our relationship. It's not my fault I'm not pizza filled and you can't dip me in ranch. Furthermore, you're going to end up on 'My 600 lb Life' if you don't cool it. In conclusion, please take this all into consideration and break it off now with the pizza rolls before it's too late.

lp2.the pit of my break was when i was on my quad and was a few miles away from home with out my phone and ran out of gas and had to walk all the way home pushing it half way home.

3. nick behem

your break sound fun and ours was simmiler my grandma makes ham for christmas eve and steak to eat.

The worst part of my Christmas was not being able to see my dad as much as i wanted to and not spending that much time with him. Another bad part of my Christmas was not getting out side and being that active.

Dear Kalvin, you sounded like you had a great Christmas break with your family and going hunting. The only similar thing we did was go hunting.

2. The pit of my break was not having snow this year for this years Christmas. I wasn't able to drift in my back yard with my truck. Secondly i wasn't able to snowboard at all this year so far. I haven't been able to be pulled on a sled by a motorized vehicle.

3. Dear Mitchell Keith, your peak and my peak of our breaks are very similar about waking up on Christmas and opening gifts.

The pit of my break was my mom and sibilings moved out.

Dear Rianne your break sounds horrible. But it was similar because i didnt want to wake up either.

2) The pit of my break was watching my cousins. First off, My 3rd cousins, along with their parents which are my second cousins where staying at my aunt's house next door. Subsequently, I awoke every morning for the next three days with a knock on our door followed by my cousins pestering me to play my Plaaystation 4. Also, they would fight amongst themselves and come to me with every little problem they had. Therefore, watching my cousins was the pit of my break.

3) Dear Brenden,

I too went to go see Star Wars: The Force Awaken. First, I'm a little bit jealous that you got to see it in IMAX. Furthermore, I don't have a brother, but I do have roughly 60 great uncles, great aunts, cousins, second cousins and third cousins that I only get to see at Christmas time, and I know how it feels to finally catch up with family after long periods of time. Finally, it seems that you had a very good break and that you got to see your brother after quite a while, which must have meant a lot to you.

The pit of my break was the weather. First, there was no snow. It was 50 degrees on Christmas. My family ended up having a bonfire. Secondly, scene it was so worm out it didn't even feel like Christmas. In conclusion the pit of mt break was the weather. `

Dear Mave,
