The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air as David stepped into the library. Finally! All his projects and exams were complete, and a long summer awaited him. He was ready to relax, unwind, and just *breathe*.

The university email alert buzzed on his phone. He sighed, expecting some mundane announcement. Instead, the subject line screamed at him: "Oakhaven University - Important Notice." He read on, his eyes widening. Closing?

David threw his head back and laughed, a deep, booming sound that echoed through the quiet space. He clapped his hands together, his face alight. "No more studying!" he declared to the shelves of books, a grin plastered across his face.
