12 Things College Students Do When Spring Break Is Near

Spring Break is finally here..yay!! For college students, leading up to spring break can be the most painful and slowest few weeks of your life. The week leading up to spring break is usually midterm week for most colleges, so everyone is usually already on edge for the most part. Even though here in central New York, it is currently freezing and not spring weather, I just want break to be here! Here are 12 things that college students feel or do when spring break is near.

1. Overall, you just need a break from seeing the same people every...single...day.

Here at Naz, I see the same people every single day whether it be in my classes, walking to a class, at the CAB, etc. Sometimes, you can get really sick of it.

2. You wonder why we do not have a mid winter break like we did back in high school.

3. The week leading up to spring break is AGONIZING. You just want to go home.

4. You become very bitter about the cold weather, because spring is on your mind twenty four seven, even though here in central new York, it is probably still going to be snowing, or just really cold and windy.

I swear I have seasonal depression or something because all I have wanted more than anything is for it to be 65 degrees and sunny...but nope, it is going to be between 15-30 degrees throughout my spring break. Great.

5. You sit down for a meal, absolutely exhausted, and say "wow, it has been a really long week", and it is only Monday.

Honestly though, If I got a nickel for every time I said "wow, it has been a really long week" and it is only Monday, I'd be making millions.

6. A couple days before you leave to go home for spring break, you come to the realization that you should have exercised. But instead you continue eating that big bag of potato chips that is sitting on your counter.

7. All of your teachers are nice enough to cancel class the day before break, except for that one professor who insists on taking attendance.

8. When that one professor assigns homework to do over spring break...

9. It is Thursday night, you're doing homework, and because of pure exhaustion, you start pounding your head into your homework...literally.

10. You start whining "I DO NOT WANT TO GO" when getting up for classes in the morning.

You start whining, and then you get to that point where you literally have to throw yourself out of bed. Yeah, it's bad.

11. It is Friday, and all you can think about now is getting out of your last class to head home for spring break!

12. The time has finally arrived...Happy Spring Break!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
