10 Signs That It's Almost Spring Break
Gabby Lucchese

Although we go to the Naval Academy, we are still college students at heart (don't tell anyone). When Spring Break season rolls around, we make plans to go on awesome trips just like the majority of every other college student in America. It is our time to relax and let loose before buckling back down to finish out the semester. That being said, we are on our last few days until freedom and are all counting down the hours until we drive over that Naval Academy Bridge and do not have to look at the dome of the chapel for 10wholedays.


1. The "Happiness Factor" is finally above a 1!


(The Happiness Factor is the number of days of leave divided by the number of days until leave)

2. The days seem to draggggg onnnnn...


3. Every girl is secretly online shopping during class.

4. Teachers save all of their papers and tests for the last week.

5. You make the conscious decision to pack instead of doing physics homework.

6. You are caught daydreaming about the beach in just about every class.

7. The taboo "what are you doing for spring break?" question becomes the center of every conversation you have.


8. There is an alcohol brief at almost every company formation.

9. You suddenly see a lot more people in the gym and eating more salads.

10. You can just feel yourself getting antsier as each day gets closer to leave.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
