8 Thoughts Everyone Has After Spring Break

If you were one of the lucky ones, you spent your spring break on a beach, near an ocean, and/or consuming dangerously large amounts of alcohol. There's no doubt that you made some of the best (half-way-remembered) memories over spring break, but it probably seemed like it went by way too quickly and now you find yourself back at the never ending grind of this thing we call life. Post-Spring Break sadness is real, and here's what goes through every spring breaker's mind once the glorious week is over.

1. Have I always been this fat?

Apparently a week long diet of fast food, beer, and vodka can catch up to you that fast. Well, guess it's time to eat more green things.

2. I never should have gotten on that flight back home

It's Monday, I'm back at school/work, and I hate my life. Why did I ever think leaving the sunshine and beaches was a good idea?

3. I think I'm still hungover even though I've been back for two days

A week straight of drinking definitely left it's toll on me, and I think I'm dying. Is it possible to be hungover two days after you stopped drinking? My body is telling me yes, yes it is.

4. Where is the sunshine at??

I knew I didn't live in the warmest state, but why is it so damn cold here?? I need to rethink my living location right now.

5. I'm so excited to be eating real food again

Again, a week long diet of fast food is not as fun as it sounds. My intestines hate me right now, and they are so happy that I'm finally eating real meat, fruit, and veggies again.

6. Oh, how did sand get in my backpack? Whatever.

Somehow I'm still finding sand all over the place, and I've come to accept the fact that it won't stop anytime soon. I'm not sure where all of this sand is coming from, but it's a little bit of spring break so I don't mind.

7. I just really, really don't want to have responsibilities again

A week of freedom was such a tease. How am I expected to be responsible right now? I'm still trying to get over the fact that I'm not waking up to 80 degree weather anymore. Please, don't ask me to accomplish anything before 10 am.

8. So who's ready to book next year's spring break trip?

If I have to get back to reality now the only thing that will get me through it is knowing I'm going somewhere next year. Is it too early to start planning already? Maybe. But I will do so anyways.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
