Spring break was fun for some of us, others a little less fun and filled with rest.

But no matter where you go, every college student feels the existential dread of going back to their schedules packed with classes, work, homework, and extracurricular activities like Greek organizations or campus organizations.

These thoughts, although they are mine, I'm sure has crossed other students' minds and wholeheartedly agree with.

1. "Wow, spring break is over already?"

Most universities have one week of official spring break designated in their academic calendars for undergrad and grad students.

One week is not long enough of a vacation for some. Now, a multi-week break is more like it.

Please, can our school extend our spring breaks?

2. "Back to hell I go"

The dread from the stress and pressure we will encounter makes it seem like we are in our own personal hells.

We will go back to the place where the things that fuel us are stress, sleep deprivation, energy drinks/coffee, and the fear of failing.

Sounds like hell, doesn't it?

3. "I've got a lot of work to do"

Multi-page papers, huge presentations, huge projects, finals, quizzes, and readings from the textbooks.

Sounds like a lot of work right there. The stress of being afraid to fail will make all of this a lot worse.

4. "Maybe I should drop out"

The stress, fear, and fatigue from going to classes, going to work and stressing to the point of insanity sometimes makes somebody think they should just quit school and get a normal job.

We are in college to get great jobs and better ourselves, but sometimes what someone needs is a break.

Sometimes that is dropping out permanently. Sometimes it is deferring a semester.

I personally deferred a semester and it made me feel ready for the next semester. Although deferring a semester has its disadvantages, sometimes people just need a break. And that is okay.

5. "How long will it be until summer break and the end of this semester?"

The feels, ughhhh.....

We all want the semester to be over. I'm sure even ours professors want this semester to be over.

College is exhausting and it is not for the weak. Sometimes, you have to fight with yourself to go to class.

The last weeks of the semester after spring break are perhaps the hardest and most work-intense weeks of the semester. Lord, help us.

Good luck everyone and may the grade book be ever in your favor!

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
