As spring break is just around the corner, Delaware students have spring fever people would say. With University of Delaware's long two month winter break, you don't think we would be ready and excited for Spring break? Well, that's definitely a false statement.

We all fantasize that college is just a time in our lives where we can be as careless as could be, having no responsibilities. Unfortunately, that's fake news, and this is what spring break is for: a detox from the stresses of college. Every college student I know dreams of spring break. When you think of spring break, you think warm. What's more ideal than a trip to Cancun? Pretty much nothing.

Getting through classes and midterms is definitely a struggle for the entire campus. Lazy is an understatement. Too lazy to do homework, study for an exam, and simply walk to the famous Morris Library.

My spring break might not live up to it's title, but personally, I am very much looking forward to spring break for a few reasons:

1. Catch up on my sleep

The average person is supposed to get a solid eight hours of sleep. Do us college students ever get that? Definitely not. Do we need it? Certainly. Over spring break, catching up on my sleep will be my number one priority. Especially since UDel's break doesn't line up with other universities, all of my friends will be back to their assigned colleges. That means SLEEP ALL DAY!

2. Rejuvenate

I seriously don't remember the last time I was healthy this semester. After the first week of classes, I got the flu. My case was not nearly as severe as my friends, but I was definitely still very run down. Directly after that, I obtained pink eye. Luckily for me, after two days that spread to my other eye resulting in double pink eye for over a week. If you think I'm done, then you're wrong, yet again. When that was finally over, I immediately got sick again with bronchitis or some illness pertaining to that. After a week of more antibiotics, I still feel ill. My luck though, right?

3. Go spring skiing

If you know me, you know I have an addiction to skiing. Although I'm not going to be on a tropical island tanning on a beach, spring skiing is a close second. Spring skiing entails no heavy undergarments and fluffier snow. I don't just enjoy this sport, it's also another way to stay in shape. 10/10 recommend.

4. Work out & eat healthy

Don't get me wrong. It is our choice to lead healthy and productive life styles at school. However, being a second semester sophomore, I know that it's very hard to accomplish those tasks when our minds are focused on school and extracurricular activities. For the most part, we don't have the time for the gym or make healthy foods. This is why spring break is essential to get back on this grind.
