It's a roller coaster of emotions.

A College Student's Daily Feelings Throughout Spring Break
Destination 360

February is ending and, before you know it, spring break will be around the corner! We are all doing different things. Some of us are going home and spending 86% of the week on the couch, others of us are traveling around the states to see family and friends, and the rest are traveling around to (preferably) relax somewhere nice! No matter where you are going or what you are doing, all college students feel about the same way throughout the one week of spring break.

Here are the daily emotions throughout the highly-anticipated spring break:

Day 1: Friday


It's the end of classes and you are SO READY to get the spring break started! Some people have already left by now, others are about to, and most stay and celebrate the start of spring break with your college friends. This is the start and you are excited.

Day 2: Saturday


Some are already leaving, others are still partying, and the rest are packing. Those who are going home have usually already left by now. Now you're excited to get your trip (or bumming at home) started. It finally hits you that you don't have any homework and won't have any homework for the rest of the week.

Day 3: Sunday


Are you seriously still packing? By this time you are usually at your designated destination, or you will be there tomorrow. You are checking in, checking out the place, checking out the bars, or checking out your fridge. Dad always loads up on the food before you get home.

Day 4: Monday


You're getting spring break started! Now you are either lounging at a pool, drinking and dancing somewhere fun, or still asleep in bed. There are no classes and you are relaxed as hell. If you are partying, you are probably the most boozed up today... and tomorrow... and maybe the next day.

Day 5: Tuesday


You're still either partying or sleeping. Life is great.

Day 6: Wednesday


If you're not somewhere partying, your butt is probably happily planted on the couch and your parents are cooking everything in the kitchen. Why should you worry about getting up?

Day 7: Thursday


It's starting to dawn on you that you have to return to college soon. It prickles slightly in the back of your head, but it's still Thursday so you aren't worried about it too much.

Day 8: Friday


Uh oh. Your flight or drive is soon. You'll have to head back to college, back to classes, back to work and back to homework...

Day 9: Saturday


You are either relaxed, tan, or both. But you are also sad and back at college. You spend today texting everyone and seeing who is back so you can rave about your trip and drink the sorrows away with someone.

Day 10: Sunday


Professors are already emailing you and you have to start setting your alarm again. The grind begins.

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

April Ludgate from Parks and Recreation is notorious for her "I don't care" attitude. She speaks her mind without caring what anyone thinks of her. Fans love her because she isn't afraid to be herself. April can seem cold and negative, but she's really just fearless and strong-minded. And despite her sometimes harsh words, April truly cares about the people she's closest to. These are all reasons she is the epitome of a college student. April complains whenever she has to do any kind of work, but ends up doing the work anyway. April Ludgate is the ultimate college student spirit animal.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.
