5 Realizations You Get Once Spring Break Is Over
Sebastian Voortman

Spring break is an amazing time to relax, rest, read, rave or road trip somewhere.

Once it ends, however, it's like heartbreak all over again. Most seem to come across five realizations...

1. Your sleeping schedule can't be repaired

I personally have the most dysfunctional sleeping schedule of all time and can instantly mess up any kind of an order I might have had beforehand. By Monday, I was already going to bed at 6 a.m. and waking up at 1. But, a sleeping schedule is like a house of cards-- it takes a while to build it but even the slightest mistake can send the whole thing tumbling down.

In fact, I’m still oversleeping even now!

2. You are too rested to work


Any kind of work after 5 days of not doing anything work or school related is going to be absolute torture. This Saturday, I spent 15 minutes doing a completely wrong assignment for my theatrical production class, that wasn't difficult, to begin with. I even zoned out reading cooking instructions for a store-bought pizza. Yikes.

3. You want to go back


Occasionally throughout the year, a girl on Instagram, (and we all know one) would share a photo of herself that would basically be this: "take me back <3"... somewhere on some nondescript beach.

That’s a major mood after spring break. It doesn’t matter whether you went home, stayed on campus, or went on a wild road trip to San Francisco. You’ll want to be back. Someday.

4. You don't have to be in shape anymore

Show's over, folks! Until maybe May or June, there is no more point in staying in shape. And with the stress of the first week back you'd probably accumulate a few pounds anyway. But jokes on everyone, I personally never lost weight, to begin with, so what do I know?

5. You're glad to see everyone back


This one is obvious. It's nice to see your friends and classmates back from spring break, no matter how annoying they are. Of course, you can also be a citizen of the salt town, and loathsomely cast disapproving glances at everyone- but overall, it's always good to be back?

Right?

I'm already planning my next vacation. I finish writing this article with a solemn quivering tear streaming reluctantly down my cheek, scintillating in the neon illumination looming above me in the basement of a gloomy library.

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!

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.
