5 Realizations You Get Once Spring Break Is Over
Sebastian Voortman

Spring break is an amazing time to relax, rest, read, rave or road trip somewhere.

Once it ends, however, it's like heartbreak all over again. Most seem to come across five realizations...

1. Your sleeping schedule can't be repaired

I personally have the most dysfunctional sleeping schedule of all time and can instantly mess up any kind of an order I might have had beforehand. By Monday, I was already going to bed at 6 a.m. and waking up at 1. But, a sleeping schedule is like a house of cards-- it takes a while to build it but even the slightest mistake can send the whole thing tumbling down.

In fact, I’m still oversleeping even now!

2. You are too rested to work


Any kind of work after 5 days of not doing anything work or school related is going to be absolute torture. This Saturday, I spent 15 minutes doing a completely wrong assignment for my theatrical production class, that wasn't difficult, to begin with. I even zoned out reading cooking instructions for a store-bought pizza. Yikes.

3. You want to go back


Occasionally throughout the year, a girl on Instagram, (and we all know one) would share a photo of herself that would basically be this: "take me back <3"... somewhere on some nondescript beach.

That’s a major mood after spring break. It doesn’t matter whether you went home, stayed on campus, or went on a wild road trip to San Francisco. You’ll want to be back. Someday.

4. You don't have to be in shape anymore

Show's over, folks! Until maybe May or June, there is no more point in staying in shape. And with the stress of the first week back you'd probably accumulate a few pounds anyway. But jokes on everyone, I personally never lost weight, to begin with, so what do I know?

5. You're glad to see everyone back


This one is obvious. It's nice to see your friends and classmates back from spring break, no matter how annoying they are. Of course, you can also be a citizen of the salt town, and loathsomely cast disapproving glances at everyone- but overall, it's always good to be back?

Right?

I'm already planning my next vacation. I finish writing this article with a solemn quivering tear streaming reluctantly down my cheek, scintillating in the neon illumination looming above me in the basement of a gloomy library.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
