The 5 Stages Of The Spring Break Breakup

You're back at your apartment after a week away on the trip of a lifetime when you suddenly remember everything you avoided over the last seven days. Now with your backpack staring at you and all of your homework and responsibilities glaring at you, it's time to accept that you are not on spring break anymore. Here are the five stages of the spring break breakup.

1. Denial.

You ignored all of the homework and studying that needed to be finished over spring break, what's a couple of more days? I mean who cares if you have three midterms and a paper due, you're still lying on a sunny beach somewhere in Mexico.

2. Anger.

I mean what kind of person sets due dates for the week after spring break? Those professors knew no one was going to do them, and now you're ending your break at the library frantically trying to finish a full week's worth of work in one night. Go ahead and be irrationally angry at your professors, they deserve it.

3. Bargaining.

At this stage, you've begun to wonder just what it is that will make your professors fold. Is it money? Is it food? Whatever it is you'll figure out a way to pay them off as long you get that extension on your 10-page single-spaced essay.

4. Depression.

This stage hits you hard. You've realized you can't ignore the end anymore, and no amount of begging will change your professor's mind. However you still refuse to accept that spring break has come to an end, so you slip into a depression as you cry over your super-cute spring break pictures and imagine you can feel the hot spring sun shining down on you in the cold dark library.

5. Acceptance.

It's 6 p.m. on Sunday night, and you've barely even scratched the surface of all the work you avoided. It's time to accept the facts. SB2K16 has come to an end. No more laying out on the beach working on your tan, or running around with your best friends on the latest adventure. It's time to say hello to school and goodbye to fun.


Or at least until summer break. Nine more weeks guys! We can do this.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
