The Life Of A College Student Pre-Summer Break As Told By "Grey's Anatomy"

That home stretch between spring break and finals week always feels longer than the semester itself.

The Life Of A College Student Pre-Summer Break As Told By "Grey's Anatomy"

For us college students it seems that we are almost always counting down the days until our next chance to get away from school for a while, whether for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Spring or Summer Break. Despite the fact that we spend these breaks doing absolutely nothing but sleeping and catching up on Netflix it normally feels like the time between those breaks when we're back up at school goes at an ever slower pace. Most of us are struggling to make it to the end of the semester, especially now since we're right around that midway point between Spring Break and Summer. However, we're not alone in this endeavor seeing as the residents, attendings, and interns are struggling to survive these next few weeks as well. Our favorite Grey's Anatomy characters can totally relate to the struggle that is the pre-Summer slump.

1. You arrive back on campus and feel relaxed and ready for class again


Alright, I got this. These next few weeks are gonna fly by. Summer will be here before we know it. I mean, how hard can these classes really be?

2. But then your professor assigns a boatload of homework and a five-page paper and reminds you that you still have two tests and the final before the semester is over

Now I remember why I spent the entire car ride back up here crying. How about we just spend the rest of the semester learning about the proper ways to binge watch a Netflix series? That sounds like it could be way more interesting than related rates, sound waves and ocean topographic features.

3. You decide to start going to the gym because you realize how far behind you are in achieving your summer body


Oh my god. I thought my trip to Florida was in July, not May.

4. But during your work out all you can think about is doing this


If I run for an hour that burns enough calories for me to have a piece of pizza and a glass of wine. Come on. You can do this!

5. You start skipping classes and your professor sends out a burst email where he basically sub-tweets you


I just got an email from our philosophy professor. Maybe he is canceling class. Oh wait, never mind. Just another e-mail reminding us that attendance is part of our grade. Oops.

6. And you soon realize that you can't find your homework solutions on Quizlet anymore


*cries forever*

7. Which leads you to have the first of many stress-related mental breakdowns


Had my first breakdown last night so I guess you could say things are going well.

8. But your best friend is there to help calm you down


You are my person but you're also the only reason I go to any of the classes that we have together so no, you cannot drop out.

9. Studying for finals causes you to give up on your diet and call the only man you ever need in your life, Papa John


I mean, there's always next summer, right?

10. But you find yourself actually understanding the material and feel confident going into finals week


I think I finally know what's going on in this class.

11. And soon enough you're heading back home where you won't have to deal with any of this BS for another few months


Can't wait to go through all of this again next fall. Oh wait. Yes I can.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
