The new semester has begun, and both students and teachers have returned from winter break. With both this and the spring semester of college beginning, many students have things to say about these courses.

The students have different views on the return to school from their winter vacation. Many are not thrilled with the return as they wished the break had lasted longer. Despite this, there are still those who are glad to be back in school for various reasons, such as getting to see their friends more often, as student Kayla Castaneda stated, as well as doing something rather than staying at home doing nothing.

College classes are a significant part of the school year, and many students are taking them and are just beginning this week. The students have had varied reactions to the beginning of these courses that range from positive to negative.
