"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

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
