Spring Break Quickly Approaching!

Spring break is quickly approaching as we hit the halfway mark of the semester! Spring break is the perfect week to let off all that steam and stress from the semester by hitting the beach (if this gloomy weather lets up), shopping, visiting relatives, relaxing, or going off island. Here are some of our very own Communicology students who has exciting plans in store for our one week off of school!

Tracyn Nagata, who is currently a senior and graduating with a minor in Communicology says, “As my undergraduate collegiate career comes to a close, I hope to make this spring break memorable by focusing on my mind, body and soul!” She plans to officially put the books down and take her creativity to another level. Tracyn will stretch her “mind” by having her first guitar lesson and sticking to it, and although she has lived in Hawai’i her entire life, she never learned how to surf, so she plans to challenge her “body” by changing that very soon! Lastly, she is excited to start shooting new images that inspire the “soul” by capturing the passion of other people with her sparkling brand new DSLR camera.

Next, James Chung, who is currently a junior and a Communicology major, is planning on traveling to Los Angeles to visit his good friends who he hasn’t seen in a year. When he gets to L.A., he plans on doing many exciting things. He plans on hanging out with his dear friends from Chapman and USC, going for a night out in Hollywood, eating amazing Korean BBQ in Koreatown, relaxing at the piers of Santa Monica, eating ice cream cookie sandwiches from Diddy Riese in Westwood, taking a dip in the freezing waters of Laguna Beach, and many more things he misses in California!

Next we have JaeJoon Cho who is currently enjoying Dr. Min Sun Kim’s Culture and Communication class. He plans on flying to the Big Island for his spring break. JaeJoon is an exchange student from Yonsei University in South Korea and is eager to learn from the Communicology department. He plans to sight see the entire island of Hawai’i such as the Akaka Falls, the Hawai’i Volcano National Park. Mauna Kea, and watch the sunset in Kona. He plans to travel there with other exchange students he came with from South Korea and they also plan on going on a circle island tour by a helicopter. Jaejoon says, “ Coming from South Korea, Hawai’i is such an amazing and diverse place to study in and coming here has opened my eyes to other cultures of the world. I am so excited for spring break as it will be a time to relax from my studies and explore more of what the beautiful Hawaiian Islands has to offer.”

Last but definitely not least, the President of Speech Communication Society, Sara Ohashi, plans on going to Maui to visit a dear friend. While in Maui, she is planning on relaxing, hiking, swimming in waterfalls, and seeing some secret spots on the island. She also plans on bumping into Oprah at her local Starbucks and helping her friend with their campaign!
Looks like everyone is going to have such an exciting spring break! I hope everyone stays safe while on vacation! What are you planning on doing?
