"Post Spring-Break Depression" Is Realer Than You Think
NBC

The worst has come, the 5-day hangover you've been avoiding has set in, dehydration has hit and most importantly, the depression of the best week of your life is coming to an end.

Spring Break is truly one of the highest levels of happiness you will ever reach. You are with all your closest friends without a single care in the world. What could be better than that? No matter if something unexpected happens, you're still going to have the best damn time of your life.

You're still in shock that the week is already over because all you've been waiting for the past 3 months is this week and now it's over, how did that happen so fast?

Post-spring break depression is a real thing, people. The scariest part is having to go back to school *barf* and restarting your daily routine of school, work, working out, etc. It's dreadful to think about-- let alone do.


Spring break always falls in the middle of March, right in the middle of the semester and a half way mark to the sweet taste of summer. It's the perfect timing but also the biggest tease. Spring break is like here is all the fun you can possibly have but oops sorry you have to go back to reality for another month and a half as if nothing ever happened. Like how are we supposed to just jump back into school? I don't even think I know today's date and spring break ended yesterday.

But even if we want to avoid all possible responsibilities (which I will probably still try and do) we have to get back to our regular lives. So take your planners out and start filling in those assignment dates so you're not killing yourself a week from now on crunch time to get 12 assignments done in 12 hours.

DRINK WATER. This is quite possibly the easiest thing to forget to do, but please don't. Your body is currently begging for it due to either alcohol consumption and sitting in the sun for 5 days straight.

Make sure to catch up on your beauty sleep, realistically you probably went to bed every night between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. so.... get back those z's you ignored during spring break.

If you follow these few steps, no matter how horrid they sound, your adjustment to your daily routine will be A LOT easier my friend and this post spring break depression will soon pass.

Just remember you only have 6 weeks til the glorious taste of summer for a full TWO MONTHS! You can do this, I believe in you!

XOXO,

your fav spring breaker

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
