Spring Break Is Over, Now We Have To Get Back To The Grind

Spring break is the moment that every college student looks forward to during the spring semester. It comes just in time, as we are reaching a breaking point in the semester.

I have yet to have a super fun spring break where I get away for a few days. I always end up working at my job, making extra money since my availability is more flexible when I don't have class. Next year is my senior year and I'm going to claim in advance that I'm going to do something fun for Spring Break.

Although I didn't have a traditionally fun spring break, I did enjoy it. When I wasn't working, I was enjoying sleeping in and hanging out with my friends. On the weekend, I hosted a pregame and went out to some bars with my friends. Although working all break was tiring, I did enjoy having more time for myself, hanging out and having fun with my friends.

The only struggle that comes with spring breaks is getting back into the groove of waking up early and going to class. Spring break is just a mini taste of summer freedom. It's hard to go back from having lots of free time to going back to planning everything around your classes and work. It's also the worst when professors schedule midterms after the break because then you have to snap back to reality and study for those exams.

Even though spring break is over and there are basically no more days off until summer break, this is a reminder that we are halfway through the semester.

I repeat: we are halfway there.

Freshman, sophomores, and juniors have to return in the fall. Seniors, if you aren't going to grad school, this is it! It's time for you to go out and put everything you've learned in college to use. I cannot wait until this time next year and I can say, I'm graduating in two months and I'm starting a real job after.

We have a little over two months until we are out of school. Yes, it is hard to get back into the rhythm after spring break but this is the motivation that you needed to hear. After this semester, we have a three-month-long spring break. Take that time to get an internship, plan trips or even work! In order to get to the fun times, we just have a little more pain and suffering of doing assignments.

Good luck, college students! Let's finish this semester strong!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
