With summer break upon us, we are all getting very excited and can't wait to be free of work for a few months. No more exams, no more papers, and no more worrying that you might have missed an assignment. Here are the 5 stages of getting ready for summer break.

1. The minute Spring Break ends, you think "Summer is close!"

The first second you get a taste of that heat, your heart aches to be out of school.

2. You try to stay positive when you get slammed with a ton of work.

For some reason, your professors decide to give you every assignment possible within a two week span and you try to remind yourself that it will all be behind you soon (right after you have a slight mental breakdown, of course).

3. The Calm before the Storm

All of the hard work is over and now you are just waiting for finals, not knowing what to do with yourself.

4. Finals

Need I say more?

5. Getting out of there

Congratulations! You made it through yet another year and now you're off to the beach! Treat yo self, you deserve it.
