If we are being honest, there are a few times this summer where we have all thought of our beloved college. Even though we are glad that it’s summer, we miss being there so much. These thoughts are just a few times when you’ll think about UMD and how you wish you were back there.
Hearing a “frat party” song and just want to jump up and dance.
Talking to a cute boy/girl and wishing you were at school with them right now.
Looking at your transcript and wishing you could go back to class so you can change that grade.
Watching a Netflix show that you and your roommates would watch together.
Taking a summer class without any of your friends to help you.
Not seeing friends who live in a different state than you.
Seeing throwback pictures on your phone of a time when you were having so much fun.
Eating a slice of pizza and missing the pizza flavors you got at Slices.
Wanting a night out at Bentleys or Turf but not wanting it to be dead if you went there.
Getting annoyed with your parents and wishing you lived by yourself with some friends again.
When your fake ID won’t work at a hometown bar but it never failed at UMD.
Buying new clothes that you would wear to a party but have no party to go to this summer.
Seeing how expensive professional game tickets are when you got them for free at UMD.
Wishing you were at the beach during Away Weekend even though you’re stuck at home.
Going to your job and would be willing to take advanced classes over working.
Realizing how expensive alcohol is when you’re not at a UMD bar anymore.
When people ask why you wear so much UMD clothing when you’re not at school.
Going to Nandos with your family but wishing you were there with your friends at UMD.
Wishing you could join in on a game of beer pong or flip cup like you did at school.
Wishing Chipotle was in walking distance like it is at school.
Being too far away from your significant other when you were just an apartment away max at school.
Wanting to watch/be a part of a quidditch match again because quidditch is not a sport at home. Unless you go to Hogwarts.
Needing some luck but not having Testudo when you could just rub his nose.
Wanting a book to read or needing a book to do summer assignments with but not having McKeldin close by.
Having great places in D.C. close by so you can just metro in for a fun night out.
Wishing you had a happy hour to go to on a Friday afternoon.
Resorting to Tinder because you’re bored of hanging out with the same old people.
Feeling left out when your UMD friends are together but you’re not with them.
Having lively debates about why you’re for/against Greek life when no one would understand at home.
Loving everything about UMD even when no one else can see why.
