Student life is getting back to normal, with a new semester already well on its way. As the spring semester begins, students and faculty alike are excited for new opportunities and fresh beginnings.
Winter break gave Seawolves the opportunity to put down the books and spend some quality time with their friends. It is also a time to celebrate the holidays with family or loved ones. Some of our fellow Sonoma State students were lucky enough to adventure all over California, and even outside of the country during the recent break. Students generally agree that this hiatus from school is well deserved, but now they are excited to tackle the new semester.
While we wrap up the first week back on campus, students reflected on their best memories that they made over winter break. Freshman, all the way up to seniors, weighed in and described some interesting experiences they had.
