Spring break bliss: A perfect day according to Jasmine

Jasmine Thompson • April 11, 2025

Sophomore Jasmine Thompson admires a mural at the Huntington Library. The library features a wide variety of art collections and botanical gardens that attract visitors from all over.

Upon the arrival of spring break, this is a perfect day during my break. No, I’m not traveling the world like everyone else my age.

10:30 a.m – Wake Up and Scroll

I wake up, brush my teeth, wash my face, sit back in bed and scroll on TikTok for a while.

11 a.m – Planning the day

I FaceTime my best friend Isabella to make plans for our day. I have a $500 budget to go shopping. While on the phone, we, meaning I, decide to go to The Huntington Library. Go to the mall, buy clothes and eat lots of food (whatever we’re in the mood for.)

Noon – Pics and a stroll

Isabella and I arrive at the Huntington Library. We visit the various exhibits and take photos with our digital cameras, admiring the beautiful scenery around us. After taking photos, we check out the library exhibit and the Chinese garden, while debriefing about life.

2 p.m – Shop till we drop

We leave the library and head to the mall. Lots of clothes make their way to lunch with us after going shopping at the Northridge Mall. Some things we got were jeans, shirts, coats and dresses. As we are best friends, I will spend some of my money and spoil her.

4:30 p.m. – Family time

Isabella and I say our goodbyes and I arrive back home. I am welcomed by my 1-year-old and 3-year-old sisters. With this warm welcome, I decided to spend some time with them so my mom relaxes a bit.

6 p.m – Munch on food

My Grandma has prepared her oxtails, and mac and cheese. I eat all of it. Then have a 30 minute nap since after dinner I am always sleepy.

7 p.m – Binge

I decide to spend some time with my mom. I crash into her bedroom and bother her. My mom and I watch the new “American Idol” season while she gives me a mani-pedi.

7:40 p.m – Scrub a dub dub

I help my mom bathe my sisters and prepare for bed. I do my sisters’ hair then put them to bed.

8 p.m – Video Games

After I put my sisters to bed, I play The Sims 4 until I get tired or one of my characters does something I am too lazy to fix.

10:00 p.m – Romance and satistfaction

I watch a rom-com, most likely “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.” After watching some of “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before”. I open YouTube and look for an autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) video. When I watch ASMR it calms me down and helps me fall asleep, it is also satisfying.

11:30 p.m – Catch some Z’s

I put mouth tape on, make sure my bonnet is wrapped tight enough and fall asleep to the ASMR video.
