We're students too, and we couldn't resist paying homage to all you out there who are just as disillusioned with returning to school after spring break as we are. For your consideration, here are 10 awful things we're grappling with right now.
1. Late-semester midterms.
Professors who schedule midterms for the first week back from spring break are just plain mean.
2. Dorm showers.
Even though the low-flow shower heads are gone, showering in sandals is still a terrible experience.
3. TDR.
After a week of 24-hour access to a fully stocked refrigerator and mom's home cooking, fighting the masses for the same old fare at TDR is a dismal thought.
4. Impending graduation.
You try finishing a capstone, maintaining stellar grades, hunting for a new apartment and finding a real job before May 13. Cherish your underclassmanship, friends.
5. Lost luggage.
Thanks to the snow last weekend, your clothes could be anywhere on the East Coast.
6. Fire alarms.
Little brothers may be annoying, but they don't force the entire house to evacuate at 3 a.m.
7. Weather.
After a week on the beach, a gloomy 40- degree day just doesn't cut it.
8. Laundry.
Nothing says "You're not in Bermuda anymore" like a clothes basket full of bathing suits and shorts that you can't wear for another three weeks.
9. The semester's impending end.
Finals are exponentially closer and it's time to worry about finding a summer internship. Oh, the humanity! At least there's a job and internship fair today.
10. All of D.C.'s annoying qualities.
Whether it's the limited hours of the Metro or America's irritatingly high drinking age, traveling to a more exotic spring break destination makes those little quirks all the more disagreeable.
