Starting Classes After Break As Told By The 5 Stages of Grief

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at BU chapter.

1. Denial

You can’t be starting classes that soon. You’ve only had a month of break. Nothing can make you go back. NOTHING. Not even the promise of your favorite on-campus Thai place or the absence of your parents constant nagging.

2. Anger

“I NEED MORE TIME. I haven’t even finished the third season of Dexter yet. Doesn’t that mean ANYTHING to you?”

3. Bargaining

Maybe you can start a Tumblr and become a world famous blogger who makes thousands of dollars a day just by sitting at home, reposting gifs, and eating Nutella. School schmool, man. 

4. Depression

“Class from 11-5 on Tuesdays? How will I refuel in between classes? Will my professor pass out snacks??” *hastily wipes away a single tear*

5. Acceptance

Class sucks, homework sucks, exams suck, but your friends are pretty cool and so are the mozz sticks from the place next to your dorm so we’ll deal. For this semester.
