Step 1: Denial

As long as you pretend break isn't ending and continue going about your daily routine, maybe it won't actually end...

Step 2: Cramming

Between booking all your doctors appointments in a day and seeing all the people you were supposed to hang out with over break, you're sure to have a jam-packed couple of days.

Step 3: Avoidance

You know your break is coming to an end, and you know that you have responsibilities to tend to before returning, but sometimes, you just need to avoid them.

Step 4: Sadness

You love your home. You don't want to leave your comfortable bed or your family's cooking, and the pain is setting in that it's all about to be gone.

Step 5: Anxiety

Will your college friends still want to hang with you after a month of not talking? Will your professors assign projects during syllabus week? Will your sleep schedule EVER go back to normal!?

Step 6: Acceptance

At some point, you just end up accepting the inevitable fact that it's time to go back for another semester.

Step 7: Happiness

Once you return to college and see all your friends, you remember why you love it so much. It's just like you never left.
