Now that #SB2k17 has come and gone, many of us are experiencing the post-spring break feels. If you are feeling any of these emotions, you are more than likely experiencing the 5 Stages of Spring Break Grief.

1. Denial - "No way it's already over..."

As you're sitting in the back seat of your friend's mom's SUV wearing fast-food grease stained clothes on your trip back to wherever home is, you begin to wonder how it was possible that the week went by so quickly and question if you really lived up to the SB2k17 hype.

2. Anger- "YOU CAN'T MAKE ME LEAVE!!!!!"

YOU AREN'T MY MOM!! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME GO HOME!! WHO DECIDED SPRING BREAK SHOULD ONLY BE A WEEK WHEN SPRING LASTS FOR MONTHS?! I DON'T EVEN NEED A DEGREE; I NEED THE BEACH AND RELAXATION!! I HATE SCHOOL AND REALITY!!!!!

3. Bargaining- "If I skip class on Monday then I can stay an extra day..."

You begin to think of any possible way to stay on vacation and avoid going back to school or home. "If I stay at the beach and don't go back to school, I can just get a job as a lifeguard and do good deeds and save people all day forever..."

4. Depression- "I'll never be as happy as I was this past week."

While your friend begins the long drive home, you curl up and look out the car window and become lost in your memories. You will never look as good as you did on the beach, and you will certainly never be as happy as you were ever again. *Cue Sarah McLachlan's "Angel" playing in the background as the ocean view disappears into the horizon.*

5. Acceptance- "There's always next year..."

You accept the fact that you do, indeed, need a college degree so that you can afford more fun awesome vacations. After all, spring break is forever.
