The Emotional Countdown Stages To Spring Break, As Told By 'The Office'

Spring break. Such an exciting break. A break in the school year that seems to come at the perfect time. Oh how we love spring break. Now, it's just about the countdown to spring break. It'll be an emotional countdown but fear not, "The Office" is here to help you through it.

1. The “it’s so far away” stage

You’ve just gotten back from winter break. Oh, the joys of five weeks off, at home, spent with your dogs. Now spring break feels so far away. And you have to deal with this thing called ice? At least classes might get cancelled.

2. The “only four weeks away” stage

OK, four weeks. That’s not too bad. That’s just four one-week sets. That’s just 28 one-day sets. That’s just 672 hours. That doesn’t seem too bad, right?

3. The “I can do this” stage

You’ve finished all the work you have for the week. You are watching Netflix and eating all the junk food you aren’t supposed to eat because of that “spring break bod,” but whatever, right? You can finish school off strong until spring break!

4. The “oh sh*t, it’s midterms” stage

Oh yeah, those exams that come in the middle of the semester and count for a lot of your grade? Yep, those. It’s OK, don’t panic, you can pull a few all-nighters and get great grades on them, right?!

5. The “only one more midterm” stage

Yeah! You got through most of those horrible exams that count for so much of your grade! One more to go and you’re almost to spring break! Life is good.

6. The “when will I pack” stage

Whelp, you may have forgotten about packing but that’s OK, right? I mean, it’s spring break! What do you really need? A bathing suit or two, maybe one or two pairs of real clothes? What do you mean it is not going to be 80 degrees? It’s only going to be 40 degrees? But it’s spring break!


7. The “I have to do laundry” stage

Now that you know it isn’t 40 degrees, you have to actually do laundry so you have clothes. No getting by with just bathing suits and shorts.

8. The “I have my life together” stage

You’ve done laundry. You’ve packed. You have no more exams. A few days of Netflixing and getting through classes, then it’s finally spring break! Thank goodness!

9. The “it's finally spring break” stage

You made it. Beach, here you come. Relax, eat, go to an indoor swimming pool. No commitments, no homework, no exams. Take it in. Enjoy it. Love it.

10. The “do I have to go back so soon” stage

Friday’s here and spring break is coming to an end. Why’d it have to end so soon? Don’t worry. Summer will be here soon.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here.
