As told by Jennifer Lawrence.

Freshman Year Spring Break

Brace yourselves, college students, because spring break is right around the corner. Only a few more days and we'll be replacing these lecture halls for some place that's sunny and 75 degrees (hopefully). High school spring break was aways fun... but there is something about being in college that makes SB special, especially for freshman college students. Maybe it's the new found freedom that comes with the college years. Maybe it's the challenge of planning a week jam-packed with fun with virtually no money. No matter what it is, it's an interesting trip. Definitely one for the books.


ONE WEEK UNTIL SPRING BREAK

[Googles "get abs in seven days."]

But after a little research, you realize you actually have to give up pizza for that?!?!

Packing takes you about three times longer than it should because every five minutes you're like...


BEGINNING OF SPRING BREAK

After hours in the car, you and your friends finally arrive at the condo.

Squeezing 20 girls into a condo described as "comfortably sleeping eight" sounded like a good idea when you paid for it... but now the realization of 20 girls and four beds for a week sets in. However, you stay optimistic.

Finally, you hit the beach and it's all like:

Well, that's what you think. But in reality, it's more like

Then your Victoria's-Secret-Angel-looking friend is all, "Take a pic next to me in our bikinis!"

Later that night, some friends invite you over to their house for a party. After showering, doing your hair, and even putting on some makeup you walk in all like...

... only to soon realize...

Chatting with people and party games can only go on for so long before something like this happens.

By 3 A.M. you're like...

And that's pretty much the first day and the day after that and the day after that. First half of the week, you're all pumped and like....

... because I mean, it's spring break, man.


END OF SPRING BREAK

So you've been sharing a queen-sized bed with five other girls and surviving off of frozen meals for days now.

But you've still got some of that spring break spirit left in ya.

It's the last night and you're feeling sappy about the 19 other girls you've been stuck in that condo with. You're probably sitting in a circle rehashing the last week and all of a sudden it's like:

But it's the last night and you're not just going to sit around so...


AFTER SPRING BREAK

All in all, it was a great week. You grew closer to some friends and you made some unforgettable memories. You might have permanently twisted spine from sleeping in abnormal positions and you might be walking away with a bank account hitting a grand total of $0. You also learned a thing or two about yourself, like:

Only 365 more days until next spring break!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
