Things I Did Over Spring Break Instead Of My Homework

And no, it didn't look anything like this picture. Or anything else resembling a beach, or spring, for that matter.

Things I Did Over Spring Break Instead Of My Homework

Well, for weeks before the beginning of spring break, I saw the mountain of work that was piling up for me for the end of the semester- but, I told myself, I was not, NOT, going to procrastinate. Spring break was to be a week devoted to studying, examining scholarly sources, reading Descartes’ Meditations on First Philosophy, cleaning, and just getting my life together in general.

That, unfortunately, did not happen. Here is what happened instead.

I slept. A lot.

Like, I don’t even want to disclose how many hours were spent sleeping, or just lying under the covers. It’s embarrassing.

I ate. Also a lot.

This past week was supposed to be a cleanse, but it ended up being kind of the opposite- my body is, at this point, pretty much at capacity for crappy foods in ridiculous quantities.

I got a little drunk.

You know how it is…it starts with a Sunday brunch, and then you go to one bar, and then go visit a friend at another. And then the day is over, and you wake up with the type of hangover you thought you’d outgrown when you were sixteen.

I suffered from a mid-break crisis.

After two days of doing absolutely nothing, I started overthinking everything. What is my life? Am I ever going to make it as a journalist? Am I going to amount to anything? What happens at the end of LOST???

I recovered from said crisis.


In this case, all I really had to do was put on a pair of pants. And then go to Costco. Did I really need that giant bag of dried seaweed? Absolutely I did *crunch*.

I worked out.

Hah! Just kidding.

I procrastinated.

I left all of my work for the Sunday before the second half of the semester started. But hey, it’s done now…and that’s what college is all about, right?

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
