10 Signs You're Going Through Vacation Withdrawals

1. You constantly relive your trip through the photos you captured.

Sorry not sorry for the extensive Instagram vacation feed.

2. You immediately start planning your next trip.

Doesn't matter if you've only been home for a day, nothing is stopping you from researching and planning your next adventure.

3. A part of you dies when your sun-kissed tan starts to fade.

Yes, the tans will fade and memories will last forever, but there's nothing more upsetting than watching what's left of your vacation fade right before your eyes.

4. You have a hard time wearing anything but your vacation clothes.

Especially when you return home to a Midwest winter. No, I do not want to bundle up in boots, a jacket and hat. I would much rather be in the freedom of flip flops, shorts and a t-shirt.

5. You constantly remind yourself of how just a short time ago your only cares in the world were the sun, the beach and fun.

This one really hurts when you're back to school or work.

6. You want to hear every detail of the trips your friends went on.

Especially if they visited the same or similar places. Give me all the details, let's talk all things travel.

7. You recreate the drinks or meals you had on vacation.

No shame in going to the store to buy all the ingredients you need to make your favorite tropical exotic drink.

8. The only thought that excites you is returning back to paradise.

You don't want to hear about any plans unless it involves packing a bag, boarding a flight and returning to your favorite destination.

9. You vicariously live through other people's travel photos.

Travel hashtags and travel blogs quickly become your best friend. If you can't travel at the moment, might as well dream about it through other people's exploration. It's also a great way to make notes and get tips for planning your next vacation.

10. You dream of how you could become a travel blogger and permanently vacay for a living.

Because after all, some of your photos are pretty darn great and you would love to spend the rest of your days seeing the world, chasing paradise, discovering endless adventure and documenting your experiences.

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

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.

13. In the end, you feel on top of the world because you made it through the last week of class alive.

14. But, now it's finals week so good luck.
