Top Signs Students are Ready for Spring Break

1. Eyes are glazed over during lecture.
2. They keep asking you if they will get out early from class/lab.
3. Eyes are glazed over when you talk to them one-on-one.
4. They keep asking you if you are going to cancel Friday's class.
5. They stop coming to class.
6. Several students have emailed you as to why they aren't in class...they are "sick" or "not feeling well."
7. When it snows, they ask if the school is going to shut down for a few snowflakes. And they truly are hopeful.
8. Professors are called "mean" and "evil" for giving an exam the Friday before Spring Break (not me! I was smarter than that haha!)
9. You see sleeping students everywhere you go - on couches, benches, desks.
10. Stress levels are high among them...I actually heard some student yell at his lab partner today because he misread a number.
