1. After four long weeks of winter break, you can’t wait to see all your friends.

2. Crazy stories from your time at home are quickly exchanged.

3. You have officially decided this is going to be the semester you get a 4.0.

4. After the first day at the library, you give up.

5. Your New Year’s resolution of going to the gym and eating healthy gets old fast.

6. The first snow day of the semester, everyone is like…

…but after the seventh snowstorm and below freezing temperatures, spring cannot come sooner.

7. Just when you think you can relax, midterms sneak up on you out of nowhere.

8. Then, the inevitable search for summer internships begins.

9. Spring break is finally here but it feels more like winter break part II.

10. The temperature rises for the first time and everyone is out in the quad sunbathing.

11. You prepare for the happiest day of the year: Clam Jam!

12. Finals. Finals. FINALS. You can’t wait to be home and in summer mode.

But when the time comes to pack up and say goodbye, you never want to leave.
