How We Feel The Week After Spring Break

How We Feel The Week After Spring Break
The Odyssey

That last feeling of freedom was ripped away from you the moment you walked back on campus after spring break. Goodbye sleeping in all day, having no regard for anything, unforgettable trips with your closet friends and not checking your homework once. It was an entire week of pure "do whatever you want" and boy did you. The Mexico nostalgia is real.

1. "Wow I'm Broke"

It was spring break you went out to eat, went to clubs with your friends, bought over priced airport food, and basically spent money without a second thought. Then comes the moment when you have to check your bank account. You put it off as long as possible but there comes a time when you have to realize, you're broke as hell. Bring on the ramen dinners and spoonfuls of peanut butter.

2. Laundry = Your Entire Closet

You swore wore the same four things over and over your entire trip but yet your entire floor is covered in laundry. There's literally a full mountain range of dirty clothes on your floor because the idea of doing three loads in one day makes you want to take a nap instead. This is also the time when your roommate and you have an unspoken agreement that it's okay to be living out of a suitcase on the floor for at least three days.

3. Story Swapping


You can't wait to meet up with all your friends who went your separate ways during break so you can story swap every crazy night, who hooked up with who, or even just hearing how much fun they had doing whatever they did. It's like Christmas morning but spring break version that starts with, "You'll never guess what happened."

4. "What Responsibilities?"

"I have two projects, three quizzes and a test this week?!" "My boss is trying to kill me." "I swear I've never been this busy in my LIFE!" All phrases regurgitated over and over as your free 'spring break spirit' is slowly crushed by responsibilities. There is no waiting time coming back to reality it has hit us all full force and it's not sorry.

5. Summer Countdown Begins

The weather is warming up, midterms are ending and summer is 5 weeks away. FIVE WEEKS PEOPLE THIS IS NOT A DRILL. Get that countdown app and plug it in because I know you can't wait. Spring break was just a tease for the real shabang of a no schedule three months.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
