Last week I came up with the best 11 reasons for why it is great to come home from college for summer break. But as great as coming home is it can also be pretty bittersweet. Now that you are a couple weeks into summer break you begin to realize that the college life is actually pretty sweet… and you really miss it. So for this week I bring you the 11 saddest parts of leaving college to come home from summer break.
1. Leaving your friends
Sure it is great to be home but there is nothing quite like having your best friends right down the hallway and always having someone to hangout with.
2. Not always having someone to talk to
Because your friends are no longer right down the hall there is no direct contact with anyone to talk about your latest problems or homework or crazy professors.
3. Everything you need is no longer a five minute walk away
Now that you are home you can’t just walk five minutes to the closet Wawa for a quick coffee pick-me-up, you actually need to drive and plan out the trip.
4. Guiltful Netflix
While watching episode after episode of Netflix without a guilty conscious if great there really is nothing like the thrill of watching Netflix knowing that you have a 10 page paper due the next day.
5. You can’t go on 1 a.m. Wawa trip to get Ben and Jerry's
Not having a Wawa in your town makes 1 a.m. trips extremely difficult. Not to mention that you are the only one who is up in your house at 1 a.m.
6. Not getting care packages
There is nothing more exciting than getting that email from the mail center saying that you have a package, then realizing it is a care package from mom and dad is probably the best feeling the world. However now that you are home there are no more emails and no more packages.
7. Not having free access to a gym
Now that you are home you have to pay $10 in order to be judged by random people at Planet Fitness instead of having free access to the gym at school and just be judged by entire football team.
8. Starting your internship
Sure the first couple of days of summer break you get to sleep late and be a slob but sooner or later you have to start your internship and say goodbye to the days of being able to sleep until noon.
9. Your parents make you do the dishes
Now that you are back living at home and eating family meals your parents are able to force you to help out around the house and do the dishes. Don’t they realize no one is going to sit on that couch unless you do it?
10. You don’t really have anything to do over the weekend
The coolest weekend parties are no longer a quick walk away and it is a lot harder to stumble back to your room when the party is a couple of towns over.
