College Fall Break As Told By The Office

It's called a "break", but we all know that we have so much work that we need to be doing during that time.

College Fall Break As Told By The Office
NBC

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...

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
