Things to Fall and Break During Fall Break

It's fall break! Or sprall break. Regardless, whether you're couched at your parents' or going HAM in New York or veggin' out on-campus, it's a crazy world out there and you should be careful. With that in mind, here's 10 things you can fall and break over fall break:

1. Fall on the high rise stairwell and break your iPhone because someone forgot to open a window when they were using their George Foreman grill and now Rodin's fire alarm is going off. Thanks, pal.

2. Fall on the 38th Street bridge and break your cool. You always tell yourself you will not trip. You will not trip. And then you do.

3. Fall behind on work and break your academic spirit. Really, dude? It's two days.

4. Fall in love with home and break your mother's heart when you ask her if she can do your laundry again because you just didn't have time thanks Mom and what time is dinner anyway?

5. Fall in love with home and break your own heart when your mother tells you you can wash your own clothes since it's about time you learned the difference between woolens and knits and dinner is whenever you reheat the leftovers, you ignoramus.

6. Fall for your younger sister's more-liberal-artsy cozy-cabin-in-the-woods type college in Vermont and break any allegiances to your own school. Who needs Wharton when your dorm faces a mountain??

7. Fall going up the steps to your Megabus and break into a sweat because now you're holding up the line and PEOPLE have PLACES to BE!

8. Fall deep into a Netflix binge and break up with everyone — just, everyone.

9. Fall down the Blarney steps and break your cred because you’re already at the bar alone and now you’re just causing a scene.

10. Fall in love with chance and break up with your high school romance because life is a Dashboard Confessional song and you've only just begun to see it. Fa la laaaaaa fall break!
