Honestly, spring semester is hard. Harder than fall semester by a long shot. You come back from your precious vacation in January only to get hit with a snowstorm, then a barrage of classes, exams, a water outage, a break that goes by in a second, and then you’re thrown back into the chaos of housing selection and midterms and summer jobs and a checklist as long as your arm. It’s the worst. People say it and they mean it: college is hard. What’s important gets blurred, and it’s so easy to spiral into a breakdown at the smallest of conflicts. Despite all of the chaos, however, it’s important to take a breather. Allow yourself some flexibility, some freedom, and most importantly, some unadulterated joy. If you don’t know where to start, I have one word for you: Vine. Here are my favorite vine compilations, for any bad situation, that make everything better (or at least make me think everything is better). Take a break, bookmark for later, whatever you need to do, just enjoy.
