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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
