Summer brings all types of new experiences and adventures, but there are few things that everyone experiences over the course of their summer vacation.
1. Euphoria
That feeling you have the moment you turn in your final exam and realize that yes, it is finally here. The freedom you've been dreaming about for the past nine months: summer vacation. Even if you have a job or an internship or are taking summer classes none of it compares to the actual school year.
2. Netflix
So what do you do with this new found freedom? Well obviously you spend every second of free time binge watching Netflix. You can finally catch up on all those shows you missed out on during finals.
3. Boredom
After about a week or two the first wave of boredom hits. You've watched all the new shows on Netflix, but you don't quite have the energy or motivation to get out of bed yet.
4. Hang out with Friends
After awhile the boredom finally sparks some motivation to reach out to other human beings and be somewhat social again, so you call up the squad for some Summer adventures.
5. More Netflix
Eventually you will return to the safety and comfort of your bed and suddenly find a whole slew of shows you missed the first time you binged Netflix.
6. Family Time
Once you've run out of those shows then you finally try and get in some quality family time. Of course there's only so much you can take of family time before they start to drive you crazy so this doesn't last very long either.
7. Try Something New
You've run out of shows to watch (again), you've hung out with friends, you've spent more than enough time with family. This is the point when you convince yourself that Summer is the perfect time to learn French, read the stack of books you've been saying you'd read for the past year, learn a new instrument, get a hobby, or decide that you're going to finally get in great shape.
8. Mind-Numbing Boredom
Of course that doesn't last for long and then you're back where you started. Mind. Numbing. Boredom.
9. Ready for School to Start Again
You've made it through Summer and after three months of desperately trying to fill up your time you finally get to go back to school where you'll be so overwhelmed with work you'll never feel bored again.
