1. You have anywhere from 12 to 52 new best friends that you are absolutely obsessed with.

 

 

2. You can’t focus on classes because you keep laughing about funny moments from your break.

 

 

3. You still rep your team by wearing your team’s colored bandana in some way. 

 

 

4. Your paper plate award is hanging up in your room.

 

 

5. You walk across campus scanning for fellow trip members (and hyperventilate briefly when you see them).

 

 

6. You have probably made plans to go to dinner and hang out with the other trip members more than once this week. 

 

 

7. Every time you log onto Facebook you have at least 7 notifications because you keep getting tagged in hundreds of trip photos (and everyone must like every single one).

8. Your profile picture, cover photo, and/or phone background are pictures from alternative break, must to the annoyance of all of your Facebook friends. 

 

 

9. Your other friends are tired of hearing “Sorry, I’m hanging out with alt break people tonight.”

10. You can’t wait for your next alternative break!
