Another winter break has come and gone. As we begin to mentally groan at the fact that spring semester is starting up, I can’t help but think about how everyone else is preparing for the beginning of the next four months of solid education. A typical day leading up to the spring would probably go something like this:
7am
Here's younger sibling going off to high school (Haha sucker); checks phone and goes back to sleep
11am
Actually wakes up
11:30
Go to kitchen to eat…there’s nothing to eat, like always
12pm
Dressed, looking around the tornado you call a room
12:15
Shove everything into your closet (you won’t see this closet for a while)
3pm
Finish all the chores your parents made you do (since it’ll be their last shot before you leave)
3:30pm
Pack everything that you really need for the semester
4pm
Pack everything that you think you need for the semester
