"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

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Being a music major is not all kicks and giggles. In fact, there are days when I question my sanity and doubt myself as a musician. I know I am not the only one going through the struggle, and so here are 13 GIFs that I know my fellow music majors can relate to...
