Six Stages of Spring Semester

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

Excitement

We just came back from winter break. We have new gifts from the holidays, we’re excited to see our friends, and to start our new classes feeling refreshed.

Determination

It’s syllabus week and you look at your syllabi determined to get a 4.0. This is going to be a great semester. You do all your reading ahead of time and plan those essays in advance. 

Stress

Midterms week snuck up on you, and BOOM! It’s time to start studying for the 6 classes you’re taking, and that group project you have to do is going downhill fast because your group members don’t know how to get it together.

Relief

Spring Break is here!!!! Time to go away with friends or family and have a good time away from work and the pressures of college. 

Burnt Out

Spring Break is over, but you’re not mentally prepared to come back to real life. All of these projects and tests and papers have you burnt out. And it’s almost finals week. You spend most of your time panicking or procrastinating. 

Joy

The semester is over. If you’re graduating, congratulations. If not, you’re still happy because it’s time for Summer Break!!! Three months of bliss until next semester.
