Summer break is nearly the worst thing for a college student. Yes, there is a break from classes, due dates, and blackboard discussions. But a break from everything else? How does one college student actually survive? Here are 10 reasons why summer break is the worst for college students:
1. You spend 3 months without your best friends.
"Distance makes the heart grow fonder"
NO, IT DOESN'T. I CAN'T DO THIS. My heart is feenin' for everything ratchet, skeptical, and all things with many regrets. College, where art thou?!
2. You have to work..all the time now.
Ugh. 40 hours a week? I have to talk to people? I have to actually wash my hair and shower? You better believe when Friday comes around that I'll remember why I'm working. Only on Fridays, though.
3. Late night food runs? Car ride for 1, please.
Well. I guess I really am fat. I felt less self-conscious having all my friends in the car with me to eat calories that don't even count after 2 am. Well, newsflash, everyone, I guess they do now.
4. You're home away from "home."
You miss your hometown when you're at school, and you miss school like mad when you're home. If you're not missing your college hometown like crazy, you're not doing it right.
5. Your parents are, well, still your parents.
You can't really decide if your parents are the worst or best roommates to have. They pay for your food, water, electricity, but they still wanna plant those good ol' rules on you. Oh, don't forget to clean your room, bathroom, and put the dishes away. Lol, what?
6. Thirsty Thursday is less thirsty.
Thursdays are just typical days to you now and nothing makes your heart and liver actually, well, sad. If anything, you reminisce about what a true Thursday is to a college student and can't wait to be back in however many days are left until the first day of classes.
7. You won't have endless closets to go through.
Wow. I actually have to wear my own clothes? What kind of sick sorcery is this? Let's be honest, we all get a little high living from living in a 5-mile radius of our friends because 1) they are the "ride or dies," and 2) we all dress well. It's a win-win. Now, I'm taking straight L's.
8. The real world doesn't understand college fashion.
Norts, oversized t-shirts, birks, tube socks, and last Thursday's hair I guess aren't acceptable to go out in with my parents or anyone, for that matter.
9. I still can't bring my pet to school?
I get to hangout 3 months straight with my best four-legged friend and kick it like the old days, and you're telling me I still don't get to bring him to school? Y'all are sick.
10. Is it time to go back to school yet?
But seriously, is it time?
