Spring break is one of the best times of the school year. You are so close to summer vacation that you can almost feel the 100 degree weather. Whether you are planning to vacation at a beach somewhere or just going to head back to your hometown, you always become anxious as spring break approaches. Here are 10 things that happen when you’re done with school and ready for spring break!
1. You cry as you stare at your upcoming exam schedule.
The first thing that is obviously bound to happen is you crying as you sit in your room, realizing that before you can even get to spring break, you have to face your midterm exams. To those that have no midterm exams before spring break, consider yourself blessed.
2. You have five or more mental breakdowns in a day.
With all your midterm exams and last minute essays, you begin to shut down and become absolutely done with school and ready for spring break. This then triggers multiple breakdowns, leading to you rethinking your life choices. You can’t help but think how much easier life would be if you could just drop out of college and become a beach bum.
3. You begin to procrastinate… more than usual.
Even though you should be studying, it’s getting harder and harder to concentrate, and by this point in the year, procrastination is at an all-time high. Yes, procrastination has probably always been a thing in your everyday life, but when spring fever hits you like a truck, you start to do more spring break planning and less studying.
4. You find yourself daydreaming about being on the beach.
Obviously, the nice weather, if you’re lucky, will have you daydreaming about the beach you can’t wait to be on for spring break, or if you’re not planning on going to a beach, you’ll probably be daydreaming about the couch you’ll be napping on.
5. You start to realize that your spring break body isn’t going to come until summer.
That spring break body that you had planned for isn’t quite there yet, but you’ll just have to start working on that summer body after you sleep/party during spring break.
6. Your bag has been packed for about a week now.
Yes, you have already put all your spring break-ready clothes into your bag, and nowhere near that bag is there a book or any kind of homework, because let’s be honest, are you really going to do any homework or studying during spring break?
7. Weekends are the only thing you look forward to.
The only thing that is keeping you sane until spring break comes around is weekends. Don’t worry, spring break is coming soon.
8. You wait until the last second to get out of your bed in the morning.
Your alarm clock has now become your worst enemy. Not only are you constantly pushing snooze, but you’re also questioning if class is even worth getting out of your bed.
9. You wear flip flops any chance you get.
If the sun is out, even just a little, so are your sandals. With spring break approaching, it’s hard not to want to throw on a tank top and some shorts when the temperature hits anywhere near 60 degrees. Honestly, you are just ready for winter to just go away.
10. Saving money becomes a priority.
You can’t wait for your spring break getaway, but you are now starting to realize that you probably shouldn’t have spent your money on late night Taco Bell runs, and now you are trying to figure out the best way to pay for your spring break vacation without going completely broke.
