As a college student, you are given two choices every summer: either enjoy your long-deserved sunny vacation, or give it up in an attempt to financially support yourself. If you're like me, you chose the second option. Here are some serious triggers for your FOMO while you're working over the summer:

1. Social Media is the enemy.

Everyone is posting their summer adventures everyday via Instagram, Facebook, etc. You can't open an app without being reminded that you're missing out on the "BEST SUMMER EVER".

2. You're always stuck at work when the weather is perfect.

You can't decide if its because they did that on purpose or if you just are that unlucky... then you remember that you were the one who signed up for extra shifts, and it makes it a little easier to deal with.

3. When you finally have a day off, you try to plan a super exciting and adventurous day...

But it somehow always turns into sleeping until noon, washing your work clothes, and binge-watching Netflix.

4. Your friends have to give you at least 2 weeks notice for plans or else you can't go.

"What are you doing tomorrow"

"Working"

"How about the next day?"

"Working"

...it's a never ending cycle.

5. Everyone around you has glowing sun-kissed skin while you slowly become a translucent vampire.

Or you just end up getting a bad sunburn as you try to over compensate for the daily sun bathing other people are getting.

Although you're missing out on a fully carefree summer, being able to afford to spoil yourself a little makes the FOMO a little easier to deal with.
