10 Thoughts You Have When You Go Home For Spring Break

Ask.com

Have you ever been that one person who just goes home on spring break because you're broke and can't afford to go on all of the fun trips your friends are going on? If so, here's 10 thoughts that have most definitely run through your head during your break as explained by dogs...

1. Time to relax

When you initially get home, you're excited to be out of class and ready to take full advantage of your lazy days and not have to interact with anyone.

2. Wait... I'm lonely

This realization comes quickly after you've finished binge watching your Netflix series within the first two days of break.

3. Why am I the only one not at the beach?

Seriously... You swear you're the only one...

4. Or Disney World?

...Except for the extra lucky people who are happily strolling around the happiest place on earth.

5. Why am I scheduled for work literally every day?

You haven't worked in a while, so you figured break would be a good time to get back in there, but now you've realized that it's taken up all of your free time.

6. I mean, at least I'm making money, right?

There's always that one plus side.

7. Man, I wish I was at the beach

But the longing never goes away with the seemingly hundreds of perfect beach Instagram pictures you scroll past daily.

8. I'm not even gonna' get tan

Still bitter. But at least you're not getting burnt either.

9. I need more food

Whether you're eating your feelings or eating because you're bored, there's always food within reach because what is a break without it, am I right?

10. When does school start back?

While your friends may never want to return from their week in paradise, for you this question seems to come all too early on in the break. You miss your friends, and even after all the love you got from your parents, you're ready to get back to the independent life that awaits you at school! College, we're coming back for you.

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.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

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.
