For me, break used to be a short amount of time where everyone enjoyed a week off from school. As much as I love my family and being able to spend time with my friends who live in Fairfield, CT, being away from Marist for an entire month is heartbreaking. I miss the atmosphere, the people, the sense of community, and the activities that Marist has to offer.

Overall, a little break from stress, drama, school work, and classes is great, but being home for an entire month does get a little repetitive after a while. And someone who gets it is the one and only sarcastic, childish, and hilarious Nick Miller (played by Jake Johnson) from "New Girl."

4. When people ask you what you did over break:

5. When people ask you how your break is going:

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
