Spring Break is usually known for most of the college kids flocking to warm weather with beer, bathing suits and a bunch of friends for the week. There's nonstop partying, drinking and making memories. But for those who didn't go somewhere warm, most of it is spent at home ... sleeping, which can be so much better in the long run. But then I realized that although I was so excited to be home, it wasn't a break even though it was spring.
Even though it's Spring Break, that didn't stop my professors from assigning multiple papers, all over five pages in length, due in the same time frame with multiple sources cited in APA format. And the readings too. The excuse was, "Well, you all have time over Spring Break." Uh, no actually. I'm busy writing papers and applying for jobs and internships.
Bringing me to my next point: the lovely internship application search. I feel like I never have time during school because if I have any free time at all, I'm either trying to have a social life or catch up on some sleep, and I keep putting off this job thing. But, I figured I may as well get some use out of my spare time and do something productive so I don't feel as guilty when I go back.
Then there's the whole adulting thing like doctor's and dentist appointments that I never do seem to get around to. Being away at college and at a disadvantage of not having my car on campus, makes it difficult for me to come home for things like that so I have to squeeze them all in when I can. Because once May comes, I'll be at the beach.
Laundry. The piles that have built up at school either from laziness or because I have to pay for it, is another thing that I have to center my ever-shortening week around. Fun times.
But, there are always the bright spots. Visiting friends from home that I hadn't seen since over winter break was so nice because it really gave us the time to catch up and vent about school life. You can never have enough of your home friends.
And of course, my own bed. Being back home means I'll be able to write these papers and job applications from my own bed, which nothing compares to. Yes, it'll still be just as tedious and dull but these are my sheets in my room, with my fluffy pillows and when can that not make anything better?
