Fall break in college is completely different than fall break in high school. In high school you get a whole week and you typically do not have to worry about doing any homework all week. Most of that reason being because your teachers made things due before the break because they knew when you came back you would not remember any of the lessons. However, in college, fall break is a whopping two day break where you think you will be able to relax and not have to worry about the hustle and bustle of schoolwork, but really the entire break you are just thinking about all the work you should be doing that is due in a few days. Since most people thoroughly enjoy The Office and its dry humor (myself included), here is a breakdown of the many emotions college students experience during fall break.
That feeling you get after you attend your last class and your break has officially started
You finally get home, or wherever you are going for break, and you can't help but want to party because you don't have to do anything tomorrow
But then it hits you... you won't be with your friends for the next few days, so you instantly become lonely
Suddenly you come to your senses and realize that it's only a few days without each other, so for right now you're just enjoying your break
And then it is here.... you only have one day left of break and you remember all the work you have to do that you should have been doing this whole time
And then you get mad at yourself because as much as you wanted to do 'nothing' for break, you realize that you have literally done NOTHING....
It is the day before you have to go back to class and you realize you have a lot more to do than you actually thought you did
You start your homework and quickly realize you have a speech, an exam, and a paper that is due tomorrow... and you could have sworn that it was not due for another week
About an hour into your homework process you realize that you have actually been on social media the whole time and you just can not force yourself to do actual work
6 hours in....
You can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and you are almost done with everything you have to do
You can not believe it... even with all the doubts and expectations to fail, you are finally done... (for tonight at least)
Now fall break is over and even though you had a great time doing nothing, it is time for the stress of classes to start back up again
And without any warning, the next day of classes hits you like a ton of bricks...
