Returning To School After Spring Break
ABCNEWS

After enjoying the last week of Spring Break, it is now time to head back to school. As you pack your bags and make the return trip to school, you are flooded with opposing thoughts and feelings. Part of you is sad to leave the comfort of home, friends, and family. Another part of you is excited to get back to your friends at school because you do not know how you have survived the last week without them. While you have enjoyed lounging around, sleeping in, and dismissing all of your responsibilities for a short time, you now long to get back on a schedule and complete the piles of work that await your return. The fun memories that you have of Spring Break are just a taste of what the upcoming summer will be like. The thought of summer being only a mere two months away is what motivates you to get back to the grind and give it your all. Here are 14 times that the cast of Friends exemplified the reactions of students returning back to school as classes resume after Spring Break.

1. Looking at your calendar and realizing how many quizzes, exams, papers, projects, and finals are still between you and summertime


2. Catching up on all the reading that you had planned on doing over an entire week of break, but for some reason you saved for Sunday night

3. Seeing your college best friend again after going an entire week without them

4. When adults tell you not to complain about going back to school after Spring Break because someday you won't have a Spring Break anymore

5. Sitting in your first class on Monday morning

6. When you survive all of your responsibilities on Monday

7. Coming back from Spring Break, but it's still freezing outside

8. When the professor announces that there is a pop quiz over the assignment you were supposed to read over break

9. Walking into your foreign language class after a week off

10. Everybody wanting to make plans with you right after everyone returns to school

11. Thinking about all of the time that you wasted over break

12. When you realize that there are less than 50 class days left until summer

13. Imagining all of your summer plans

14. Deciding to buckle down and get back to the grind because every assignment you finish is one step closer to sweet summertime

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

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.
