Spring break is always a much needed time of the semester. Projects, essays, and mid terms have been submitted and everyone is usually exhausted. Many are fortunate enough to jet off for the week to exotic locales and enjoy warm weather while soaking up the sun on the beach or living it up on fun European tours. However, there is also a large amount of the student population that does something entirely different for spring break: they go home. Here's the progression of spring break at home as told through Shameless GIFs:

1. When you first get home and your family is doting on you and telling you how much they have missed you.

2. When you finally get to catch up on sleep that you didn’t get all semester.

3. When your sleep evolves into binge watching Netflix shows and sitting on the couch wearing the same sweatpants for three days, but it's okay because this is where you find your zen.

4. Breaking the Netflix binge only to go get food, and it is finally homemade and so much better than the dining halls on campus.

5. When you finally see your friends and decide to leave the house for something fun. Most likely going to get more food together.

6. When your friends start telling you about all the drama they’ve had while at school, but you’re there to remind them just how fabulous they are.

7. When you’ve spent so much time in your house and with your family that your mom tries to come up with new ways to spend time with you and entertain you.

8. When all of this inevitable family time makes you realize how crazy your relatives are, but also that you love that chaos and wouldn't trade it for the world.

9. When the week finally comes to a close and you're wondering who is actually ready to return back to campus after such a break.

10. That exciting moment when you're reunited with your friends that you've been apart from for one whole week and get to celebrate not drowning in class assignments for the first week back.
