Does What Happens During Spring Break Stay There?

Does What Happens During Spring Break Stay There?
Angelica Catusco

Your spray tan is probably fading, you might be slightly hung-over still and you are for sure not ready to take that Biology test on Friday.

Well, it’s the Monday after spring break and most of us look more drained than we did when the break started. But, hey that’s what spring break is all about.

A break from school but not a break from our social lives. Spring break is just a sneak peek of what our summer will look like- without the fake tan of course.

Some of us will be on cruises this summer, partying on Florida beaches or will be hard at work at an internship. Let’s just pretend everyday of summer will be as adventurous as our nights out in Mexico.

After endless tequila shots and breakfast burritos, it’s time to hit the gym harder than we did pre-spring break.

You might be suffering from a cold right now and trying to get your immunity back up after sleeping for less than five hours a night for four days in a row. Eat some oranges, take your Dayquil and be ready for Saturday night.

Even though we might dread classes starting again, we are secretly relieved to be reunited with all our friends in one place. Plus, getting back into our routine and gain a bit of a social life is always a good thing too.

If you had a successful break, you probably have random people added on your Snapchat, have questionable messages from your best friends and some blurred out memories of you living your best life.

Some of us might even be thankful to safely be back in the United States without the fear of losing Ray Bans, passports, IDs and dignity.

My friends and I thought in Mexico we would be saying “uno mas” more, but instead, our most used phase was “no gracias.” As much as we enjoyed meeting new friends, sipping on pina coladas and the endless amount of carne esada tacos- we are happy to be back home again.

I’ve never been more thankful to be safe with my friends and recalling memories of our fun girls trip out of the country.

We all have memories we will never forget or fully remember, but that’s just part of college.

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.
