15 GIFs That Describe When Your Squad Is On Spring Break And You're Home Alone

rowdyradio.org

Spring break isn't always the fun escape that college students want it to be. Sometimes, spring break means saying home alone and watching Netflix all week while your squad is partying it up in warm weather. The FOMO hits hard during spring break. It's as real as it has ever been.

1. When spring break rolls around and plans are popping up.

You're so excited. There are so many places around the world to go!

2. And then you look at your bank account...

You have no money. You can't go away with them.

3. When your friends are still making plans and you're just sitting on the sidelines.

You're in denial. You pretend they're not going to Punta Cana or Miami without you. It's not happening.

4. It's spring break. The first day is great.

It's finally here -- no school, no work. Just you. You get to do whatever you want.

5. Relaxing all day in bed with Netflix, catching up on all of your shows.

Channeling your inner J.Law, you feel great watching all of this television. Maybe spring break alone won't be so bad.

6. You open Instagram and Facebook.

Literally everyone you know is on spring break.

7. Day two of laying in bed with Netflix comes around and it's not so terrible.

You're kind of OK with binge-watching and relaxing. It doesn't suck yet.

8. You open Instagram again and immediately regret it.

Your friends are in a place with warm weather, good food and bad decisions. And you haven't moved in two days.

9. Day three of laying in bed.

Are there any more shows on Netflix to watch? Have you even left the house in the past three days?

10. You start to miss your squad.

You want to text them but don't want those international texting charges coming out of your basically non-existent bank account.

11. The countdown begins.

The squad comes back in two days. You start to get happy.

12. Logging into Netflix for the hundredth time.

You restart watching some of your old favorite shows. Because what else is there to do?

13. Your squad comes back in a day!

The excitement is palpable. You can't wait to see them!

14. You don't see your squad.

Everyone besides you is hungover and tired. They'll probably sleep the entire day after they come home.

15. It's the last day of spring break.

You're packing and driving back to school. You did nothing.

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.

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.
