Spring quarter is back with a vengeance this year. Birds are chirping, flowers are blooming, the sun is out until 7:30 P.M., and college students are more ready than ever for summer break. Rather than summarizing what we’re going through myself, I thought I’d let my girl Lizzy break it down for you.

1. Gearing up for spring quarter right after the break with the highest of hopes.

2. Convincing yourself you’ll study hard every single day and stay on top of your work this quarter.

3. When you go to a class you didn’t think was going to be very difficult and the first thing the teacher says is, “This course is going to require a lot more extra study time outside of class than you’re used to.”

4. When you just need some retail therapy...

5. Because you have absolutely no spring clothing in your closet and need to get rid of all your winter stuff.

6. When your parents ask for the 100th time what your summer work plans are going to be, or what the status of your internship search is.

7. Watching girls stress over their “summer bodies.”

8. Sitting at your desk studying when all you wanna do is lay by the pool and soak up the sun.

9. When you hit that point in the quarter that has 20 projects due, five meetings a week, all of your hardest tests coming up, and dealing with things becomes increasingly difficult.

10. Trying to study in a group like.

11. Sitting down for a final, reading the first question, and realizing it’s about to treat you kinda like Lizzy treated Matt here:

12. Getting stressed out and calling your mom like.

13. Finishing your last final of the quarter and getting the heck away from school.

Best of luck this quarter, collegiates! Summer is just around the quarter corner.
