After spending nine months away at college, we're finally back home. Now that we're back, so many things are different than the way they were at school. Awful isn't it? Here are 8 dreadful things that happen when a college student returns home for the summer.
1. Not being able to see your school friends
Although we are reunited with our high school friends, the new friendships we have formed at college are truly unbreakable. When it settles in how long you have to wait until you can see these people again, it's a hard reality.
2. Having to do your own laundry
Once you're back home, your parents suddenly think they can give you a curfew again. Last time I checked, no one told me when to come home for the past nine months, and I survived just fine.
4. Having to catch up on all the chores you missed when you were gone
Coming home is great until you realize every time one of your parents asks one of you or your siblings to do something for them, you're going to hear, "I've been doing it the whole time you were gone at school."
5. Realizing all the changes that happened in your house
When you walk into your house for the first time since Christmas or Easter Break, you realize that so much has changed in your house and you're not even sure if you are even in the right house. You go to get a towel from the linen closet and suddenly it's filled with nails and tools??
6. Having to ask your parents permission to do anything
Again, I was gone for nine months and relied on my own judgment and common sense and seem to have made it just fine without y'all's approval.
7. Having to get a job
After living off your savings account for nine months and the occasional times your parents gave you some money, once you are home from school you realize you have literally $0 to your name left. In that case, it becomes necessary to get a job (even though summer is supposed to be about relaxing and de-stressing after a hard year at school).
8. Not being able to share most of your memorable stories with your family
You probably have an awesome story about a night out with your friends or that one time you almost got a tattoo, but you can't share these stories with your family, so you have to resort to telling them about your boring classes and your professors.
