Whether you're at home from school, on break, you're a commuter, we all know the struggle of having to readjust to actual society. Would you act the same way around your family as you do around your friends? This year instead of dorming, I am commuting, and I've learned that there's a very different way to act in your home town versus your college town. Even just being home for break, it's a difficult process. So, thanks to some help from Eric Forman, I have compiled a list of feelings/things/thoughts that occur while any college student is back under their parents' roof.
There's the first and obvious transition, you have to socialize with family members regularly. Family dinners, holidays, and birthdays are all mandatory events you must be prepared for.
But, there is a plus side to getting out of bed and being social with your family and friends.
And then there is the inevitable. Ultimately how you feel after being asked, "so are you seeing anyone?" for the hundredth time.
After really thinking about it though, you can think of a few reasons you probably aren't seeing someone.
For a little while you can manipulate your parents into thinking you're exhausted from working so hard this semester, making Dean's List and what not...
But almost immediately they see right through you.
And then, they start making you, BE AN ADULT! You have to be responsible, and maybe even pay for some things with your own money!
And they start to question why all you do is sit on the couch and read these articles..
Then then try to take away your Netflix account and tell you to "go outside" and interact with actual, real life, people.
Sometimes they even question your goals in life all together and start attacking your major and the choices you've made thus far.
Let's not forget, either you have to get up regularly for school or for work and your alarm clock is now set to Mom.
And just when you're about to completely give up on your life...
Make the most of the time you have to spend with your family and friends...
Because it'll be over before you know it. It isn't so bad.
