10 Thoughts Every College Student Has When People Start Talking About Break

c1.staticflickr.com

The idea of spring break as I child used to bring fond memories of picnics in the park and the days leading up to break where usually filled with some sort of fun school activities. But now you are here, knee deep of who knows what week of the term and before you can feel the sun burn glowing on your face you must survive the rest of the term...and going back home. Maybe we will take that Egg Nog early please.

1. Wait, I only have HOW many more days to study for that exam

Giphy

How does ten weeks turn into five days that quickly? Wishing you were back in midterm seasons so at least you had a chance to redeem yourself after a bad grade, instead of this being your last chance.

2. Can I go another fews weeks without doing laundry?

Giphy

Thinking about all the coins you could save by not having to do laundry for a whole month. Thanks parents for the home laundry and dryer unit. And frabic softner....oh how we missed the frabic softner.

3. Sh*t, I need to start not cussing

Giphy

Having to retrain yourself how to talk like a decent human.

4. How much can I stretch out grocery shopping

Giphy

Looking up as many leftover recipes you can to avoid going to the store while studying and saving every extra penny you can.

5. Home cook meals, I repeat HOME COOK MEALS

Giphy

Whether your mom or dad is the chief in the house, you can always look forward to coming home to warm, non-expired food that did not have "5 min in the microwave" written on the package.

6. So, are we going to keep things up after break or....

Giphy

Thanks Tinder for introducing us to people. Now can you help us through the awkward conversation of where this is going to go over break.

7. I really need to buy a plane ticket

Giphy

Why does every college student and every vacation has to be at the same time traveling. And why can't airlines just give us a break at their prices.

8. I'm not ready for this term to end and by me I mean my grades

Giphy

Nope, no please. I need another few more weeks to try and bring up my grades.

9. So dude, when my mom picks us up be chill

Giphy

So Fam, if my mom ask what we do on friday nights tell her we hang out and study at the cafe on campus. And no, she doesn't know about the tattoo.

10. Shoot, weren't we supposed to have that one book finished by week 10

Giphy

*pulls dusty book that you bought week 1 off the book shelf*

Well, guess late is better then never. Lets be honest, we all had that moment back in week 1 where we thought "Oh 10 weeks to do this project, what a breeze" until it is 9 weeks later and you are doing and an all nighter trying to get it done.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
