Spring Break is over and it's time to go back to school. I was lucky enough to go to London for spring break and study abroad so the last thing I wanted to do was get on a plane and fly back over the pond to face reality again. I'm sure we're all wishing spring break could last forever, but unfortunately, we only get one week to have the 'time of our lives' as most people say, and take a much-needed break from class. We must make the most of every spring break because after graduation, breaks are scarce and work is plentiful. After a long two months of school, we all deserve time to relax, whether it be on a cruise ship, studying abroad, or simply never leaving your bed. It doesn't seem fair that we work hard every day for eight weeks to only receive one short week off, but that's why we make the most of it. Sadly, Spring Break does not last forever, we must go back and work hard for another few weeks, stress over school work, and before you know it, it will be time for finals.
If you're like me, you must now take this time to say goodbye to spring break and mentally prepare yourself for endless hours in the library, countless papers, and loads of studying.There is an overwhelming sense of melancholy in the air now that spring break has ended. We are left with only memories of Spring Break now that it is over.
Here are five emotions we feel after our spring breakup as told by Carrie Bradshaw.
1. Depression
Suddenly, you wake up realizing you're back at home and class starts in an hour. There is a feeling of mourning and heartbreak as you hit the snooze button and mentally prepare yourself for the day. No more laying on the beach, drinking cocktails, or soaking in the sun.
2. Remorse
There may have been some questionable choices made over Spring Break and now you must face those decisions head on. Be careful walking into class, that guy from vacation may be sitting there.
3. Dehydration
It's easy to forget that the most important liquid is not liquor while on spring break. It's time to chug water instead of beer now that Spring Break has ended.
4. Lack of Motivation
Remember that test you have this week? How about that paper that's due Friday? One more day of procrastination can't hurt. It's not always easy to find motivation after a long break, but it is important.
5. Poverty
All the money you have was blown on drinks, food, and fun. Forgetting that there's a life outside of spring break, you spend every last dollar only to realize you have nothing left for everyday life.
This isn't goodbye, Spring Break, it's see you soon.
