Emotions run high and motivation runs low.

10 Things That Happen The Week After Spring Break
Madeline Shore

The best week of the year is over. It's time to kiss spring break goodbye and say hello to the rest of second semester. It's heartbreaking, but it's time to get back to reality. Here are ten things that will take place after spring break.


1. You go into denial

You can't even process the fact that you're back in your dorm room instead of eating hotdogs on the beach with your friends. You continue to tell yourself that you'll be back in a few days. Reality however sneaks up on you and slaps you in the face when you realize you have a paper to write.


2. Eating your emotions with all the food you've been craving

You've been eating so healthy leading up to spring break. Now that it's over you have no reason not to eat whatever you want. It doesn't help that you're super sad about spring break being over, meaning emotional eating is very real.


3. Trying to catch up on sleep

The past week you haven't gotten any sleep at all. Between the tight sleeping arrangements, staying out late and getting up early, you have had no time to rest. You swear you won't leave your bed for a week. This would probably become true if you didn't have a required lecture on Tuesday.



4. Your body hates you

You've gotten no sleep, ate complete trash and probably have a terrible sunburn. Your body has never hated you more in your entire life. Hopefully in a week you'll start to feel normal again, but it's not looking too good.


5. No amount of showers is enough

You feel so gross from all the driving and constant chaos of the previous week. You've taken three showers but you feel like it still isn't enough. Maybe after shower five you'll start to feel clean again.


6. Your group chat from spring break is filled with reminiscing about your week

The week after you'll get a text every day that reads, "A week ago we were..." Your heart will break with every memory that's mentioned. While you sit in math, you think about how a week ago you were dancing under the sun with your best friends.


7. The inside jokes kept getting brought up

Funny pictures and videos will be sent in your group chat constantly the week after. The video of your friend falling off the banister is even funnier the third time watching it. Your inside jokes will be the main conversation topic everywhere you go, including the library.


8. You jam to the songs that were played on repeat

Whenever you hear Rolex, Mask off, Swang and Get Right Witcha, you feel as if you're instantly back in Florida. These songs will bring back flashbacks of your spring break vacation. Your friends will jam to them the following week and pretend that you're still on break.


9. There's no motivation to do anything

You sit in the library and cannot accept that you have to do work. You have no motivation to even lift your pencil. This might lead you to ordering a pizza in the library rather than doing the reading for your test you have coming up.


10. You cry while looking through your camera roll

Looking back at pictures and videos makes you smile but also very sad. You would give anything to go back and relive the previous week. You realize that you must accept that instead of laying under the sun, you're laying in your dorm room bed.


Now that spring break is over it's time to push through to summer. RIP Spring break 2k17 and let the countdown to next spring break begin!

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.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
