What Spring Break Is Really Like

By Fiona Ewing, The Dartmouth Staff | 3/6/14 6:00am

1. You start out super pumped for all the things you plan on doing.

2. …But then you realize that doing things actually requires effort.

3. If you fell behind in any of your classes this term, you tell yourself that you’ll get a head start on next term over break.

4. …But then you realize it’s called spring break for a reason.

5. So instead you decide to work on your tan and spend a week in a tropical paradise.

6. …But you forget sunscreen and your vacation takes an unpleasant turn.

7. You think you can let loose and enjoy a few fun nights without getting too out of hand.

…But you end up apologizing to several people the next day.

8. And no matter how crazy your break was, you make it back to campus in the spring, even if you didn’t ever catch up on the sleep you lost during winter term.
