Top 10 | Vacation Movies

It probably wouldn't be a stretch to say that most of the Tufts campus has been kept sane this semester since sometime around the second day of classes by the thought of spring break. Especially during the long hours doing work (or thinking about how you should be doing work, but aren't) in the library for the past week, the image of sitting on a beach somewhere can keep you from dropping out. But as Chevy Chase has documented countless times in "National Lampoon" movies, vacations almost never go as planned - whether it's because of sunburns, lost luggage or a busted car on a road trip, something in the universe will stop you from having a trouble-free week. Then again, maybe we're just saying that because we're staying around campus and are just jealous of all the people going somewhere tropical. (At least it's been warm in Medford lately - right?)

Evans Clinchy | Dirty Water

The last week before spring break is always the toughest week of the year. Every professor piles on the work, desperate to get in that one last paper, problem set, lab, or exam before the week off, and meanwhile, all we students can think about is getting the hell out of here.
