You know the drill. As the end of every school year approaches you have that internal debate: should you stay or should you go? Back to your hometown, that is. Well, you know what they say -- home is where the heart is, and it won't take you long to realize that your heart doesn't really belong to your hometown anymore.

1. The idea of being home is a lot more comforting than actually being home.

You're so excited to be home, then you get home and it hits you that life didn't stop for your parents while you were away at college. Your parents still work all day, and your mom doesn't have nearly as much time to make you grilled cheese as you thought she would. Sigh.

2. Your parents aren't the only ones who are busy, either.

You come home to your high school friends, the one's who've had your back since the beginning. After a few fun reunions of reliving the Four Loko days and catching up on your semester away from them, you soon discover that everyone has jobs or internships, or even lives that somehow don't involve you as much as you thought they would.

3. You realize that your late night food options have decreased exponentially.

You've gotten so used to ordering pizza at 4 a.m. that the first time you attempt to do this in your hometown, you really can't believe that the rest of the world lives without that extra large pizza with extra cheese and banana peppers as a late night second dinner. You've forgotten than college life isn't real life, and soon discover that nowhere in the Jimmy John's business model did it ever say anything about all locations being open until 3 a.m. Ugh.

4. Even if they don't mean to, your parents are still keeping tabs on you.

You're so used to doing what you want nine months out of the year that your mom's, "Where r u?" or "When r u coming home?" texts at, like, midnight really begin to stress you out after a few short days, even though she doesn't mean to.

5. Your old bedroom is a fully functioning gym, now.

You come home to your worst nightmare and suddenly have so many questions: "Mom, when did you take up yoga?" And "Dad, have you heard? Dad bodies are in." You moving out and on with your life often means your parents do too. And, unfortunately, what comes with that territory is losing some of your territory.

6. You'll have more FOMO being at home than you will from being at college.

You eventually have to accept the idea that you simply can't be in two places at once, and what that means is that whether you're laying on the couch frantically scrolling through Instagram from your hometown or your college town, there's definitely some FOMO that comes with being unable to be in both places. Fortunately, though, the FOMO of seeing your high school friends having fun without you in your hometown stings a little less than the FOMO of seeing your college friends having fun without you in your college town. It's just science.

7. You'll have limited responsibilities.

You start to realize that although college during the school year is fun, it can be tiring after awhile. From the day to day homework to extracurriculars, Greek life responsibilities, and having a job, you don't realize how much extra time you have when you aren't so busy. Even if you take a class or two and even get a part-time job, you'll still have many opportunities for unhealthy amounts of tequila and time at the pool.

8. Getting drunk at home requires serious cash flow.

You can only get drunk in your high school best friend's basement for so long before you begin to question your sanity. Once you convince your friends that the local bar in your suburb isn't just for townies, it'll take all of being inside for two seconds flat to realize that one, it totally is all townies, and two, you can't get a drink for a dollar, which doesn't fly for long.

9. It's impossible to find a job.

You'll cue mini panic mode when you realize that you need to find a summer job at the most inconvenient time of your life. Every application you turn in will have the, "but I'll only be here for three months" disclaimer, and you won't even be surprised when no one calls you back. But in your college town you can snag a job that can last even past the summer.

10. College is the best time of your life, so why put it on pause?

You don't even need an elaboration on this one.

So, there it is. Here's to a summer of good friends, bad booze, unlimited Burrito Supremes from Taco Bell, and never having to see your mom doing Pilates in your room at 6 a.m. You're welcome.
