Happy Spring Break!! It's finally the time to sleep in and not worry about your priorities as a college student. Not that we have it that bad, but trust me, we all needed this break.

As I sat through my classes throughout the week leading up to Spring Break, I couldn't help but question how I've made it this far without having a mental breakdown. That being said, these Spring Break-induced breakdowns are all too familiar, especially if you're someone like me. No matter how hard I try, I cannot enjoy Math. Even when I think I know what's going on, there's a good chance there's something still missing.

While deciding what would be a good topic to touch upon in this week's article, I sat in my statistics class simultaneously questioning why I ever thought taking a math class in college was a smart decision.

In honor of our much-needed break and mutual hatred towards the world of Mathematics, here are 10 scenarios every Non-Math major has experienced while sitting in class:

1. When your teacher reveals the answer, and it's not even close to what you came up with.

2. When you do a problem, and you think it was finally right on the first try.

3. When your professor asks, "So does that make sense?"

4. Repeatedly telling yourself not to ask, 'Why?" and just do as you're told.

5. When everyone goes over the answer they got for a problem, and your answer wasn't even close to what they're talking about.

6. Plugging 2+2 into your calculator during an exam just in case the Math world decided to switch things up on you.

7. Meeting someone who has Math anxiety just like you.

8. Finding a rare human who not only enjoys math, but is good at it, too.

9. Repeatedly reminding yourself why you chose a major other than Math.

10. When you finally get the right answer, or you understand what is going on in class.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
