23 Times "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" Described Returning To School After Spring Break

Spring break is, unfortunately, over. Now, we must brave the rest of the semester with as much caffeinated dedication as we can muster. It won't always be easy and it won't be fun, but just remember that you're not alone in this fight. Here are 23 times when "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" accurately described returning to school after spring break.


1. Trying To Wake Up And Stay Awake

While those three alarms that you set will probably get you to class, they won't help keep you from falling asleep in class.


2. Using Makeup To Hide The Fact That You're Basically Undead At This Hour

In the words of Penny Hofstadter, "It's 8:00 a.m. That's like the middle of the night."


3. Hearing Your Professor Say, "Well I Didn't Have Anything Else Planned Today, But..."

No, I do not want to hear about the next lesson. That's what the next lesson is for.


4. Catching Up On All The Drama That Happened Over Break.

They don't call it a "spring fling" for nothing.


5. Ignoring The People Passing Out Pamphlets About Political Candidates And Religion On Your Way To Class

Keep your eyes down, headphones in, and power walk like you've never power walked before.


6. Having Technology Errors Only When You Need To Turn In An Assignment

It was working fine last week during the hours of Netflix binges, but it had to break today.


7. Mentally Listing All Of The Things That You Would Be Doing Right Now If It Was Still Break

My attention span decreases exponentially every time anyone says, "Gauss-Jordan Elimination."


8. Having To Make Awkward Small Talk

You know that no one is actually going to tell you something interesting, but they'll appreciate that you asked.


9. Realizing How Much You Miss The Solitude Of Your Couch

You're having a socialization overload.


10. Hugging Your Friends Like You Haven't Seen Them In Three Months Instead Of Seven Days

Order has been restored.


11. Finding Yourself Counting Down The Days Until Summer Break One Too Many Times

Take a deep breath.


12. Trying To Focus On The Lecture And Not Understanding How This Made Sense To You Last Week

Maybe this is a sign that I need to go to office hours.


13. Convincing Yourself That This Week Isn't So Bad

It's motivational speaking 101.


14. Realizing That You're Not Very Convincing

Note to self: do not become a lawyer, life coach, or motivational speaker.


15. Thoroughly Debating Dropping Out Of School

I don't really need an English Degree to write a book, right?


16. Being Asked An Assortment Of Questions About Your Break

Define "dating."


17. Repeating The Same General Answer Whenever Anyone Asks

Whether you don't want everyone thinking that you spent the whole break watching Netflix (even though it was amazing) or thinking that you were a little too adventurous in Mexico, this answer is always a safe bet.


18. Saving The More Specific Stories For Close Friends

That is, if you can even remember the stories to tell.


19. Getting Graded Exams Back

Quick, look through the syllabus for extra credit options!


20. Hearing A Classmate Ask About The Essay Due Today

Was it really necessary to assign a major essay over break? Was it?


21. Realizing That The Only Way To Get Through This Semester Is With A Plan

I'm going to need a calendar, glitter pens, and a sleeve of Thin Mints.


22. Turning Down Invitations To Go Out On Weekdays

You're busy with writing essays and studying for exams.


23. Not Forgetting To Have Your Fair Share Of Fun Come The Weekend

After all, you are still in college and maybe if you close your eyes, you can still pretend that you're on break. Then you have to do it all over again for the next seven weeks. Good luck!

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
