It was nice to see all of my family over spring break, but it wasn't so nice knowing that I can't see them for an upcoming major holiday that Penn State is not recognizing -- Easter.

More people on this campus observe Easter than any other religious holiday, yet we don't get one day off to travel and see family. Sure, we could go home for the weekend, but Easter is on a Sunday, so we would just be traveling on that Sunday to be back for classes on Monday.

Earlier this year, we were granted Martin Luther King Day off starting in 2006, and now I read in Wednesday's Collegian that a statue honoring him is being considered.

Don't get me wrong, King was a very important figure in shaping our nation.

But the administration is just trying to give a good name for themselves after all of the racial pandemonium happening here.

I have never met one person in my life who travels somewhere for MLK Day.

But I know that thousands of others on this campus wish they could for Easter.

Having the Monday after Easter off would give a majority of students the opportunity to travel for the holiday, whereas having MLK Day off will just give students the opportunity to booze it up for one extra night.

Christianity is the largest religion on campus, and the administration will not grant us its biggest holiday?

Please, give me a break.

An Easter break, that is.
