I think we can all agree that Spring Break is the main highlight of the spring semester. It is definitely the much needed rest you deserve, regardless of where you go.

Unfortunately, everything good eventually comes to an end and Spring Break is no different. You are away from college for a full week and it is easy to forget about responsibilities, so it is no surprise that when you come back it is hard to get used to the fast pace of your daily life. While you procrastinate, you also day dream about going back to wherever you went and relive the adventures/experiences. This is when Post Spring Break Depression kicks in.

Here are some ways you can deal with post Spring Break depression.

1. Plan something fun with your friends for the weekend after SB

I go to UT, so most students get really excited about Roundup, which is when fraternities throw huge parties and bring amazing performers. If you don’t like to party, it would be cool to go out for dinner or plan a picnic with friends.

2. Detox

I don’t know about you, but I came back from Spring Break dehydrated and tired. I believe there is nothing better than some green and ginger tea to make you feel like new.

3. Treat yourself (your skin specifically)

There is nothing more satisfying than getting some face masks and lotions from Target or CVS. Most people come back sunburnt, so taking care of your skin is super important. This not only helps you feel good on the outside, but on the inside too.

4. Sleep

If you come back feeling like you haven’t slept in ages, rest! It is difficult to be productive if you don’t get enough hours of sleep. You might have to sacrifice going out/chilling on the weekend, but your body will thank you.

5. Create Spotify Playlists

These might cheer you up and motivate you to do homework and study.
