• With this Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years season upon us, I'm reminded of one thing... I miss mandatory vacations! It's been years since I've been a full-time student, and it's been a long time since I had government sanctioned vacation time. Just the fact that I could take time off because I was told to take a day (or weeks) off, is a luxury I just do not have anymore. Spring break, Summer break, Winter break, none of that! Unlike a good majority of jobs out there, I don't have one that gets mandatory vacation days, as my work place runs every day of the year. Even holidays. Sure it's true that I could put in some vacation hours and get those holidays off, but it's just not the same than getting them automatically off. Besides, holiday pay is a nice thing to take advantage of. So all you full-time students out there, know that you should be thankful of having those vacation times, because it's not going to last forever.
