So, after weeks of counting down, spring break had finally arrived. If you're like me, the only thing to look forward was to be getting all of my lost hours of sleep back. No palm trees, no ocean, and no sunshine. Just me, my bed, and a lot of free time. However, with lots of free time comes lots, and LOTS, of thinking. And with thinking comes over-thinking, which obviously turns into reevaluating my entire life and every decision I have ever made. Here are some things I have learned about myself and my life over spring break this year:

1. I'm Tired.

Okay seriously, I have slept in until 12 o'clock almost every day this break. If I wake up before 10 AM, I am exhausted and in desperate need of a nap by the afternoon. What has college done to me? Being up every day by 8 o'clock AM has certainly taken a toll on my well-being and it is painful to think about having to go back to that. I thought college could change me into a morning person who is actually able to get out of bed and start my day without wanting to kill everyone who looks in my direction, but nope. I think nap time should be a mandatory 4 credit course.

2. I Wish I Could Marry Every Single One Of My Friends From Home.

Being home always means getting to see friends who either live at home or live close enough to home that they get to come see you. Luckily, UD had spring break over Easter weekend so we got almost the whole home crew back together. Not that I forget about my best buddies when I am away at school, but I get used to not being around them and then once we reunite its like we never even left. Laying around, wearing pajamas, stuffing our faces with some type of food that we will definitely regret in the morning, and of course laughing our asses off will never get old. God I love my home friends.

3. My Mom Is Probably The Best Cook In The Entire World.

Coming home to home-cooked meals every night is certainly something I look forward to every time I get to go home. It also helps that my mom is fucking amazing at making food. No matter what it is, my mom always makes it better. I think I have officially gained 10 pounds from eating so much food over spring break. I really missed having a refrigerator constantly packed with food, and a woman constantly worried about if I have eaten enough. Yes, I have most definitely eaten enough (for the next ten years).

4. I'm Not Even 20 Yet, Why Am I So Stressed Out?

Honestly, probably a million and one things race through my mind every day. Sometimes I literally have to grab my head and tell myself to stop thinking. Add countless hours of free time over spring break, and I actually thought my head was going to explode. Once I get stuck thinking about one thing, I go on and on and on until I have thought through every outcome to any possible action I could possibly make. It's tiring, and I need to find a way to relieve this stress. Actually, I just shouldn't even have any of this stress in my life to begin with. I am in my prime years to be happy and fun and not have a care in the world, so why the hell do I do this to myself?

5. The Gym MUST Become a Priority.

I used to be so good at going to the gym. I somehow fit it into my schedule to go at least 5 times a week and I felt great. Then this semester rolled around and I lost my mojo. I literally hadn't been to the gym in almost 2 months until spring break. Could I get any lazier? Sure I'm busy at school, but come on, it's literally one hour out of my day. I have officially broken the 'fat and lazy streak', and am now making it a priority to get my ass to the gym at least 4 times a week. Updates to come.
