Spring Break - The Ultimate College Checklist

YouTube

T- 2 weeks until spring break, are you ready? Mentally yes, but physically no. The same amount of midterm preparation goes for spring break.

You probably have about three tests, 15 projects and an interview for your summer internship before you can truly start thinking about Spring Break.

Most people have already booked their round-trip tickets to Cabo and their bank accounts are dwindling as they order the latest $100 Frankie’s Bikinis.

The only thing missing that can’t be packed in my suitcase are those washboard Instagram abs I promised myself I would have this break. The pressures of spring semester are real, when spring break is just a preview of your summer bod.

Waking up at 8 a.m. for the third day of full legs at kickboxing will be worth it. Pass on the chocolate covered strawberries and feel proud you resisted the urge for today. Just under 3 weeks to go.

Next on the checklist is booking the pre-spring break spray tan- so either way, you have some contrast from the sand. After all, what is spring break without those hot beach pictures?

Most girls are already sharing secrets of gluten-free diets or trying the latest tea trend. The hardest part is giving up Thursday pasta nights and trying not to drink your weight every weekend leading up to break.

We are going to be so proud once we get through the stresses of school and can finally relax and live it up whatever you choose to do during the break.

Picture yourself sipping on a pina colada at Mango Deck making memories with all of your close friends and being far away from your weekly psychology papers.

Just remember, most of the state of Arizona will be in Mexico...so bring your A game. Time to get fit, tan and fun.

At the end of the day our parents aren’t too thrilled about us heading to Mexico but that week might be a week of questionable decisions. Make sure to stay hydrated, rally/nap when needed and have a Spring Break to remember.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Western New England University

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
