The 7 Realities Of Spring Break As A College Student

When it comes to spring break most people think "Yay!" Time to lay out on a beautiful beach, swim, and party by the ocean with hundreds of people around you that you don't know. Some do live it up all week on a beach even though they will most likely not remember half of it. In reality, most college students end up doing the same things they do all semester for spring break.

Most of my years in school spring break has not been very exciting to me. Honestly, I didn't really care for it. I always just looked forward to summer break. Durning my spring break I would just stay home, maybe go to my friend's houses, and possibly go to the beach for a day. Not too exciting. This past year in 2017 my spring break was the week of my birthday in March. I ended up not even going home until after half of my break was over. I literally did nothing but sleep in and go to target a lot. But, in April my boyfriend and I went to the beach easter weekend with some friends for "spring break." Even though, mine was over with. This year I will actually be doing the same thing but during my spring break which is exciting.

Anyways, most college students look forward to spring break even if they are not going anywhere exciting.

1. Sleeping In!

Most of students spring breaks are spent staying up all night and sleeping all day. I personally cannot stay up all night and sleep all day but hey if you can, congrats!

2. Spending All Day Inside

If you have nothing exciting to do you most likely will spend all day inside doing nothing. Or they are hung over and cant move. A lot of students won't see the light of day during spring break. No all day on the beach tan for you! Make sure to take your vitamins!!

3. Watching Too Much Netflix

This is a pretty obvious one. It can tag right along with staying inside all day. Grabbing some of your favorite foods and plopping down on your bed or couch to binge watch Netflix.

4. Not Knowing What Day It Is

This is literally everyone on spring break. People who are just at home, still at school, or on vacation. You will most likely not know what day it is or what time. You get so caught up in all the fun you're having or how bored you are that you just stare at the ceiling for two straight days!

5. You're Still Broke

Even if you spent the money to go on an exotic vacation you will still be hit in the face by your bank account at some point.

6. Makes You Want Summer Break To Be Here

Spring Break is really a summer break teaser. It prepares you for the fact that you won't have to worry about homework or being extremely pale anymore, that is once summer break actually gets here. UGH its so far away!

7. You Have Only A Week Of Freedom, Kinda.

You only have a short amount of time to relax and not worry about school, for some people. Some not so nice professors will give you work or a projects that you have to do over break. Once this short week is over it is back to reality.

Spring Break can be fun and unstressful but it is different for everyone. Good for you if your spring break is always fun and magical. But in reality, most of us end up doing nothing.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
