Now that the Fourth of July is over we can finally take a breath and enjoy the beauty of this wonderful time of summer. However, summer isn't always a beautiful ocean breeze. Maybe you're working 50 hours a week, or laying on the beach all day, there are still some good, and some bad things about being home for four months with too much time on your hands. Who better to talk about too much time on their hands than Michale Scott from "The Office?"

1. When you try to outdo your friends with crazy stories from school:

No, school wasn't prison and yeah maybe there weren't any dementors but you gotta do what you gotta do to talk your school up and give yourself some street cred.

2. Realizing the silent joy of being able to spend every day with your dog again:

To my precious yellow lab: You complete me.

3. Finally getting that one friend to agree to go to Laser Quest/Mini Golf/Finding Dory with you when no one else will:

The more I think about it, the more I am not sure I trust people who don't enjoy laser tag ...

4. Then later blaming the other friend who said they checked the weather before going to the beach when it ends up thunder storming:

You had one job. One job. You're lucky I don't throw you into the ocean with a metal bat.

5. When your mom tells you she'll buy everyone ice cream and you couldn't be more excited:

Best day ever.

6. But then getting to the ice cream stand to find them closed or out of your favorite flavor:

Worst day ever.

7. Feeling rich so you decide to buy your friends their ice cream:

Trying to forget that you're still making minimum wage and have student loans crushing you.

8. When your friends are at a party and your boss says you can leave:

God bless you and the day you were born, sorry to all my other friends stuck at work still.

9. When your friends drop the bomb that the annoying person from high school is coming too:

Just plain rude people!

10. Setting the ground rules for car ride karaokes:

You can literally be anyone but of course I am Beyonce.

11. When your mom tells you that you can't go out until you clean your room:

This seems like a Constitutional violation, where's the NRA on this one?

12. Seeing your friend who went on a two week vacation:

You were gone far, far too long.

13. And finally, being absolutely terrified by the classes you are taking next semester in a few weeks:

At this point, I consider a dog walking career.

Happy Summer Vacation!!! Keep working hard and having fun in the sun. You can find me in my office at Scranton's favorite paper company (actually in the State House but close enough)
