Post-Spring Break Feels As Told By "Shameless"
Den of Geek!

Though I love Happy Valley, there’s something about the end of spring break that makes me feel some type of way. Maybe it's the realization that the next time I go home I will be a year closer to leaving Penn State, or maybe it's the five pounds of unfinished homework that I stuffed in my luggage pre-break, claiming “I’ll do it some time over spring break for sure.” In any case, going from sleeping over eight hours a day to waking up at the crack of dawn for classes is an adjustment. Here is the inevitable string of events that may or may not occur after you return from spring break.

1. Physically getting back.

At this point, you’re either upset because you had an amazing spring break or excited because a week at home is plenty.

2. Reuniting with the squad.

This is a happy time, regardless of step 1, where you and your friends exchange funny spring break stories and you’re just happy to have their company back.

3. Realizing there’s so much work you haven’t done yet.

Responsibility is slowly creeping up behind you.

4. Being in denial about all the work you haven’t done yet.

“If I ignore my work, will it go away?”

5. Feeling exhausted at not sleeping in every day.

And you were just getting used to not being sleep deprived all the time.

6. Realizing you can’t ignore your work.

Reality has finally dropped a ten pound textbook on your shoulder.

7. Getting support from your friends.

We’re all suffering, but we’re all in this together.

8. Getting back on the grind.

You slowly get back into the daily routine and feel your life slowly becoming more organized.

9. Realizing you love your school and you’re happy to be back.

There’s truly nothing better than being in Happy Valley.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
