It's almost here. Spring break: a week free of tests, essays, quizzes, etc. (or, at least, that's what I'm telling myself). But sadly, this week ahead of us comes with many obstacles to face before our biggest worries can be whether or not we packed sunscreen or who gets the bed.

1. Realizing your spring break diet and workouts haven't been working.

I mean why bother? After all five push ups and that salad you had on Monday? And there's still no improvement? That's just rude. Might as well stick with the usual: eat the pizza and be happy.

2. When it hits you that you have three tests and an essay all this week.

Oh, how I miss the days when tests were spread out and not all at once in every class I'm taking. Now, instead, there are days of mental breakdowns from the stress of being a college student or having nothing to do but this overwhelming urge that you should be doing something. But, hey, at least, it's all out of the way before break, right?

3. Then that one professor says your test is the day you get back from break.

After all of our calm and relaxing beach trips in which all of us students will be reading various other books and other age appropriate activities, do you honestly think we will remember any of this by the time we get back? I mean what has the world come to?

4. And you start packing only to find out you have no cute clothes or suits.

You don't know how or why, but suddenly everything you own is not good enough to bring. Also, those cute clothes you do have? Too big or too small now, so essentially you own nothing. Therefore, packing just became the ultimate challenge.

5. Looking in the mirror and finally realizing how truly pale you have gotten

No, it's not a joke. If you're like me people may think you're part vampire or that you glow in the dark. The only bright side to this is that hopefully a few days in the sun will have you looking a lot less like Caspar the friendly ghost.

6. Deciding who gets to ride shotgun.

You obviously want to be in control of the aux cord after coming up with the perfect spring break playlist, so why wouldn't your friends give you shotgun automatically? (Everyone knows you have the best taste in music of the group anyway.)

7. Finally getting to spring break destination.

You've made it. You're ready to party like McDreamy (nothing too crazy), and you're about 100 percent sure this is going to be the best spring break yet.
