Students took advantage of fall break from Oct. 18 to 21, using it to rest, visit family, watch movies, and be with friends.

Senior Madeline Hudson-Knowlton mostly stayed on campus over the long weekend. She said she had a Hunger Games movie marathon with friends, did homework, and went on some walks.

On Monday, Hudson-Knowlton left campus to visit Vala’s Pumpkin Patch, a family-friendly fall festival in Gretna, Neb. Vala’s features various attractions including apple-picking, shows, and rides.

“I definitely had no idea what to expect,” she said. “I had asked my friend if we could go to a pumpkin patch, and she said, ‘Oh, I know the perfect one,’ and we were there all day.”

Freshman Mackenzie Hughes went to her home in Bellevue, Neb. for fall break and said she went golfing with her dad.

Walther Riebau, a transfer student from the St. Louis area, said on Saturday he went with his sisters to Touhill Performing Arts Center at the University of Missouri- Saint Louis for Felix Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 5, “Reformation.”

“All good music ends in a Lutheran chorale,” he said.

Riebau spent time with his family, which he said involved watching Inside Out 2 and playing Catan for hours.
