(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: "Is that fatal?"
Person C: "No, but staying awake for 72 hours might."

Get the The Spring Break Effect mug.A small rural town in the back country of San Diego. There’s a few areas -census-designated places (aka nicknames for parts of city), Oak Grove, Sunshine Summit, Chihuahua Valley, Los Tules, etc. Oak Grove official sign has underneath a wooden sign stating “97 pleasant people, 2 or 3 grouches. Most of Warner Springs needs that sign updated with number of people living there. There are some older residents having lived in forever that own large property, young families as well & a senior community nestled on it.
It’s far from civilization where nearest necessities exist & obviously all Caucasian community. There’s also tribal reservations and a tiny presence of minorities.
Honestly, it’s not hit or miss, there’s really nothing there, you’ll have to drive far to get supplies, no activities, few wineries & bar restaurants that close early. If you’re finding yourself driving to San Diego or Temecula for your usual fun activities, this is not the place for you. If you love living in the boonies, living a secluded boring life this’ll due.
Some friendly people and some who do t want to be bothered. Most are comfortable with people they’re familiar with and most don’t take kindly to outsiders or folks who are not like them.
I don’t want to live far away from the medical facilities, it’s that far.

Get the Warner Springs, California mug.A Springlock Failure is the event in which a Springlock Suit's spring loaded devices keeping the animatronic as a suit snaps shut, resetting it back into an animatronic with a wearer inside, typically crushing the wearer to death. Springlock Failures are often caused by moisture, heavy breathing, or failure to correctly set up the springlocks.
"And if you trigger those spring locks, two things will happen: first the locks themselves will snap right into you, making deep cuts all over your body, and a split second later, all the animatronic parts, all that sharp steel and hard plastic will instantly be driven into your body. You will die, but it will be slow. You’ll feel your organs punctured, the suit will grow wet with your blood, and you will know you’re dying for long, long minutes. You’ll try to scream, but you will be unable to: your vocal cords will be severed, and your lungs will fill with your own blood until you drown in it." -William Afton describing a Spring lock Failure, The Silver Eyes

Get the Miami Springs Middle School mug.The most boring town on the outskirts of binghamton. There is seriously nothing to do here, basically if you live here you get high and drunk every weekend or go to turkey parties at the local fire station. The church is the cool hang out. Pathetic.
What are you doing this weekend?
Getting high at the church by my house.
Oh, you must live in Sanitaria Springs.

Get the Spring mug.A complete shithole town in Wyoming filled with passive aggressive cowards, people who call the cops on you for having flowers growing in your yard, and people who have meth parties where they sound like they are murdering women with hammers. Everyone there is ugly and haggard. The 20 year olds look 30, and the 30 year olds look 42. Half of the town is on meth, and the other half are alcoholics. The people in town are liars and morally corrupt. They never stick to their word and are completely pathetic. It is a perfect representation of Wyoming as a state. The world would be a better place if Rock Springs burned to the ground.
