Get the break fastmug. (n.) an unspecified period of time before spring break during which a student (or faculty member) loses the ability to accurately perceive the passage of time.
Dr. Richard Block identified a framework of four interrelated factors that affect this perception: (1) characteristics of the time experiencer, (2) time-related behaviors and judgments, (3) contents of a time period, and (4) activities during a time period.
The Spring Break Effect will cause noticeable changes in everyday life. For example, students will likely experience feelings of acedia (mental sloth, apathy, indifference, boredom) or exhaustion caused by sleep deprivation. Days will run together to the point where they are distinguished only by the assignments or exams scheduled. Most of an individual's "productive" time will be spent on academic tasks that will range between mindless and tedious. (If a suffer is subjected to these conditions for extended periods of time, particularly when tasks are mindlessly tedious, it is recommended that they consult a mental health professional.) Finally, those affected will spend increased and possibly unhealthy amounts of time on social networking sites (Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest, if the subject is female).

Person A: "How is it only Tuesday?"
Person B: "I don't know. It feels like Friday."
Person C: "Dude, you're experiencing the Spring Break Effect."
Person A: "Is that fatal?"
Person C: "No, but staying awake for 72 hours might."
Person B: "Shit."

Get the The Spring Break Effectmug. A break is essentially one person postponing the inevitable breakup that you both know is going to happen. Especially when the person you're dating is a little bitch. Most often occurring in long distance relationships across multiple time zones so they feel validated when saying they just don't have time for you. Even though they still feel obligated to stalk you on social media and then insult whatever you post. A break is taken to reevaluate and determine whether or not you can manage to stick it out and stay in the shitty relationship you've landed yourself in. It does not (unless explicitly stated) mean that you guys are still together and exclusive hence why it's called a break. Those who feel the need to validate themselves by insisting that the other party was "cheating on them all along" just need to get back to their sad miserable lives and accept the fact that they just like to create problems out of nothing and drag on a lifeless relationship.
