5 Thoughts You Have Over Spring Break

We've all been waiting for Spring Break since the beginning of the semester.

Congratulations! You've made it halfway through the semester and you are now thinking about Spring Break. Now, you've probably been thinking about this week since the first day of the semester but, now it's right around the corner or it's finally here and you couldn't be any happier. Some people have big plans that involve vacations and some have plans to stay home and work their asses off; but whether you're one or the other, here are 5 thoughts you typically have over Spring Break.

1. I finally get to sleep in my own bed.

This is the first thought you have as you're leaving your campus to head home. Oh how you have taken your bed at home for granted as you've been sleeping on a brick for the past few months. That first night of sleep in your bed has been well-deserved for all the procrastination you've been doing.

2. What's for dinner?

Let's be honest; if you weren't coming home to home-cooked meals then you wouldn't be coming home. You've missed your mom's cooking and the dining hall never gets it just right. Plus, a week away from whatever the hell they make on campus is always a wonderful thing.

3. Why don't all schools have the same spring break?

So you're sitting at home bored and you think about hitting your friends up only to find out they're still in school and their spring break isn't until the end of yours. But, maybe it is a good thing you don't have the spring break as them because your town is safe from the mayhem you all cause together.

4. Where are my ________?

You don't actually realize how many things you brought with you to college until you forget to bring something home you really needed. You don't think you'll need your straightener until you're having a bad hair day during break and the only thing that could fix it is your straightener you left at school.

5. How stressed can I make myself the night before break ends?

Your professors gave you assignments to do while you're supposed to be on vacation? How dare they! Do they not know how much you love to sit around doing nothing all week? I mean it's not like you do the same thing at school or anything.

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.

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.
