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

Good Luck Everyone!
