How We Feel The Week After Spring Break

Mar 23, 2016

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.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
