This weekend, everyone shook the sand out of their clothes, packed them up, and headed back to good old Iowa to get back to school. Saying goodbye to the sun and fun of spring break is such a cruel joke, especially when Iowa weather doesn’t seem to get that it’s spring yet. Here are some of the worst parts of coming back to school after a whole week of partying and relaxing on the beach.

1. You have to go from sunny and warm weather to Iowa in the spring.

Which, let’s be honest, could mean anything. It might be 40 degrees and pouring rain, 65 degrees with 40 MPH winds, or 55 and sunny with a chance of afternoon snow. Who knows? Gone are the 10 perfect 75 degrees and sunny days in a row.

2. You can’t show off your tan.

Did we mention that Iowa spring weather can be kind of tricky? That means that you won’t be out on campus in shorts and a tank, showing off the bronzed complexion that you worked so hard for.

3. Your flip-flops aren’t for the beach, they’re for the shower.

They’re not protecting your feet from sun-soaked sand any longer, just athlete’s foot and whatever else lurks between the tiles of dorm showers.

4. The most exotic place that you’ll go is called Pancheros.

The closest thing to Punta Cana, the Bahamas, South Padre, and other exotic sounding names like these that Iowa has to offer is a late-night burrito joint.

5. You have to make the transition from authentic local cuisine or home cooking to dining hall food again.

Hello again, grilled cheese for dinner every night.

6. You realize that you’ll have to actually maintain your spring break bod so that you’ll have a summer bod.

On second thought, I’ll skip the grilled cheese and head for the salad bar.

7. You found out who has been stalking your social media.

To the roommate who likes all my beach and sunset pics, thanks for having a homegirl’s back. To the creepy guy who friended me because we talked at a party for 0.5 seconds and liked a bikini pic of mine from last spring break, please stop.

8. If you stayed home, you’ll hear about how much fun everyone had on their vacations.

Yeah, I just stayed home in my PJs while you were out dancing on tables and wearing a sombrero. However, my mom and I had a great time watching "Eat Pray Love," so who is the real winner here?

9. If you went on vacation, you’ll hear all of the spoilers for the shows that the people who stayed at home watched on Netflix.

No, don’t tell me what happens at the end of season five! I only made it to the middle of season four while waiting for my flight!

10. You have to sleep in a bed that you climb into instead of fluffy hotel beds or your comfy bed at home.

Down with lofts!

11. You have to wake up early for class without any reward.

Waking up early doesn’t mean catching a fantastic sunrise, an extra hour of partying, or even a mimosa. It just means class.

Lucky for us Hawkeyes, it means class at the best university in the world, the University of Iowa!
