10 Signs That It's Almost Spring Break
Gabby Lucchese

Although we go to the Naval Academy, we are still college students at heart (don't tell anyone). When Spring Break season rolls around, we make plans to go on awesome trips just like the majority of every other college student in America. It is our time to relax and let loose before buckling back down to finish out the semester. That being said, we are on our last few days until freedom and are all counting down the hours until we drive over that Naval Academy Bridge and do not have to look at the dome of the chapel for 10wholedays.


1. The "Happiness Factor" is finally above a 1!


(The Happiness Factor is the number of days of leave divided by the number of days until leave)

2. The days seem to draggggg onnnnn...


3. Every girl is secretly online shopping during class.

4. Teachers save all of their papers and tests for the last week.

5. You make the conscious decision to pack instead of doing physics homework.

6. You are caught daydreaming about the beach in just about every class.

7. The taboo "what are you doing for spring break?" question becomes the center of every conversation you have.


8. There is an alcohol brief at almost every company formation.

9. You suddenly see a lot more people in the gym and eating more salads.

10. You can just feel yourself getting antsier as each day gets closer to leave.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
