Søren sad ved sit skrivebord i det lille kollegieværelse.

Søren sat at his desk in the small dorm room.

Det var forår, og de første solstråler sneg sig ind gennem vinduet.

It was spring, and the first sun rays sneaked in through the window.

På bordet lå bøgerne i stablede bunker.

On the desk, the books were stacked in piles.

Søren gned sine tindinger og sukkede.

Søren rubbed his temples and sighed.

Hans hoved gjorde ondt igen.

His head hurt again.

Camilla, hans roommate, kiggede op fra sin computer.

Camilla, his roommate, looked up from her computer.

"Du skal tage en pause, Søren," sagde hun med et venligt smil.

"You need to take a break, Søren," she said with a friendly smile.

Camilla var altid fuld af energi og livsglæde, en kontrast til Sørens stille og fokuserede natur.

Camilla was always full of energy and joy, a contrast to Søren's quiet and focused nature.

"Jeg har ikke tid," svarede han.

"I don't have time," he replied.

Opgaverne og læsningen tårnede sig op, og han følte, at han måtte holde tempoet.

The assignments and reading were piling up, and he felt he had to keep the pace.

Men hovedpinen var svær at ignorere.

But the headache was hard to ignore.

Camilla rejste sig og gik hen til Sørens bord.

Camilla stood up and walked over to Søren's desk.

"Påskeferien nærmer sig.

"Easter break is approaching.

Lad os tage en dag fri.

Let's take a day off.

Der er en påskefest i parken," foreslog hun.

There's an Easter party in the park," she suggested.

Søren vidste, at han havde brug for det, men modstanden sad dybt i ham.

Søren knew he needed it, but the resistance was deep-seated in him.

Efter en stille kamp inde i sit hoved, nikkede Søren af og til.

After a silent battle in his mind, Søren nodded occasionally.

"Okay.

"Okay.

En enkelt dag," indvilligede han modvilligt.

Just one day," he reluctantly agreed.

Dagen for festen kom hurtigt.

The day of the party came quickly.

Solen skinnede klart, da de gik fra kollegiet til parken.

The sun shone brightly as they walked from the dorm to the park.

Stien var kantet med blomstrende træer.

The path was lined with blooming trees.

Duften af foråret var i luften.

The scent of spring was in the air.

Camilla strålede af glæde og snakkede uafbrudt om alle de ting, de skulle se.

Camilla beamed with joy and chatted endlessly about all the things they should see.

I parken var der liv og glæde overalt.

In the park, there was life and joy everywhere.

Børn jagtede påskeæg, mens musikken spillede i baggrunden.

Children were hunting Easter eggs while music played in the background.

Søren følte sig pludselig let.

Søren suddenly felt light.

De satte sig på en tæppe i græsset.

They sat on a blanket in the grass.

For første gang i lang tid, tænkte han ikke på bøgerne, der ventede derhjemme.

For the first time in a long while, he didn't think about the books waiting at home.

Mens solen varmede hans ansigt, oplevede Søren et øjeblik af klarhed.

As the sun warmed his face, Søren experienced a moment of clarity.

Det var som om al stressen forsvandt, og han kunne trække vejret frit.

It was as if all the stress disappeared, and he could breathe freely.

"Jeg burde gøre dette oftere," indrømmede han langsomt til Camilla.

"I should do this more often," he admitted slowly to Camilla.

Hun grinede og gav ham et venskabeligt puff.

She laughed and gave him a friendly nudge.

"Det har jeg sagt hele tiden, Søren!

"I've been saying that all along, Søren!

Balance er nøglen."

Balance is the key."

Da de vendte tilbage til kollegiet, føltes vægten på hans skuldre lettere.

As they returned to the dorm, the weight on his shoulders felt lighter.

Søren besluttede at indføre små pauser i sin hverdag.

Søren decided to incorporate small breaks into his daily routine.

Hovedpinerne begyndte at forsvinde, og med dem kom en ny forståelse.

The headaches began to disappear, and with them came a new understanding.

Søren havde fundet en ny balance.

Søren had found a new balance.

Han lærte, at livet ikke kun handler om bøger og opgaver, men også om de små, vigtige pauser, der gør alt det andet muligt.

He learned that life is not only about books and assignments, but also about the small, important breaks that make everything else possible.
