The first week back from spring break is always the worst. It doesn't matter where you go and how ready you are to be back with your college friends, by the time you finish your first class, you're ready for the weekend.
The first week, no matter how easy they syllabus says it's going to be, is always a lie. Two assignments will quickly turn to ten. It is unknown where they come from, it is like they appear out of thin air sometimes. It turns into a week of nonstop work that you just don't have the mindset to do because your head is still stuck on spring break.
Spring break is that taste of summer freedom. It's the realization that soon you won't have to do anything for three months and you want it immediately. If you go somewhere warm, that's all you can think about, the warm weather and homework free months.
Coming back to class after spring break is the slow realization that you have to return to real life. It doesn't matter what you did, if you went home or went on vacation, it was a break from reality of school, for the most part. Then coming back is the realization of how terrible the last few weeks of the semester are.
It can put you in a funk that is hard to get out of. The memories of Netflix and laziness seem like the best thing you could possibly be doing over the papers, studying, and copious amounts of homework. However, once you get through that first week and adapt your regular schedule again, spring break will seem like a distant memory and summer is right around the corner.
