Fall break is seriously a blessing. It gives we pathetic students a few days to calm down after midterms totally wreck us. It's probably meant to allow us to catch up on homework and assignments we missed while we were crazy-person studying for previously mentioned midterms, but I fully believe it is supposed to just give us a second to breathe. So yes, I totally could have spent my first day off doing super productive things and getting ahead on schoolwork, and I definitely thought about it for at least thirty seconds. But I know me, and that was horribly unlikely, and I was right. So, here are 50 things I did on my first day of fall break instead:
1. watched various episodes of Grey's Anatomy
2. horrendlously out of order
3. like jumped from season 1 to 6 to 2 back to 6 to 8 to 5... because why not
4. went to Chick-Fil-A with the roomie for noontime sustenance
5. used my newfound Grey's inspiration to finish my paper on gender role stereotypes
6. started some sociology homework
7. realized said homework is not due until Tuesday
8. put sociology homework away
9. freaked for a second because I thought my statistics test was the Monday we come back from break
10. realized it wasn't
11. breathed large sigh of relief... because I know nothing
12. watched my first episode of this season of American Horror Story alone
13. got up to turn the lights back on because things got a little weird
14. fought with the volume trying to get it louder than my suitemate singing in the shower
15. discovered that a character from an old season of Grey's
is in all that dumb Burger King commercial about giving a house tour of a burger ???
16. discussed AHS and Grey's character thing with roommate when she returned
17. found out she was leaving me to go home tonight :(
18. listened to last week's episode of AHS while absentmindedly scrolling through facebook before I fall asleep
19. decided I needed to clean the room and jumped out of bed
20. organized all of my desk drawers...
21. and desk top...
22. and random space under my bed...
23. and refolded every article of clothing in my room...
24. it doesn't even look like I live here anymore
25. listened to/kind of watched the first two episodes of The People vs. O.J. Simpson just because the tv was still on FX and the noise was comforting
26. it's actually a really good show
27. I may have to watch the rest of it
28. threw some clothes in a bag just in case I can get off work long enough to go see family at some point
29. got my stuff for work in the morning all out and ready
30. had a minor heart attack when demon fridge made a loud noise and knocked my keys around a little
31. seriously, it's scary in here alone. give me a break.
32. decided to go shower in the Payne Center in the morning because the water in Hillcrest is currently not safe to drink, so tbh I really don't want to shower in it either
33. had to look up the Payne's fall break hours
34. was delighted to find out that they open early enough for me to get in there before work
35. realized I was a good bit of the way through an accidental all-nighter at 4:30 am
36. I don't have an actual reason, I guess I got a little carried away with the reorganizing stuff
37. there was literally no reason to stay up. or even get out of bed back in #19
38. decided it was too late to go to sleep now or else I would be late for work later in the morning
39. worked on the puzzle that's been on our floor for nearly a month and a half now
40. don't judge, it's really hard to put together a puzzle of blue dolphins jumping over blud water in front of a blue sky underneath blue constellations
41. everything is blue
42. got "Colors" by Halsey stuck in my head thinking about it
43. gave up on the puzzle for the night (morning?)
44. it can sit for another month
45. wrapped up in a blanket because my room is a literal icebox 24/7
46. made plans to go to starbucks at some point before work tomorrow so the dead do not walk among the living
47. laughed at my own joke while I typed it
48. realized that it is 6 am during fall break and I am writing this instead of sleeping
49. someone please send help
50. this is not how I meant for fall break to begin
