Summertime as a college student is a rollercoaster of emotions. For starters, it's a beautiful relief from the constant pressure of exams and essays that are due weekly during the college school year. It is also a great time to catch up with old friends from back home and spend your days at the beach, each other's houses, or any other familiar places you've been going to for years.

However, summer as a college student is also full of a ton of free time. For the most part, you are home for three months, during which you are pressured to either get a job, an unpaid internship, or, for some unfortunate souls, both. If you're extremely unlucky, like myself, finding either of these is incredibly difficult and you therefore find yourself with way too much time on your hands. This is nice and all until you get bored of beach days and lounging by the pool and finally decide that you'd rather be overtired and drowning in work than sitting at home and bored.

To illustrate my point, here is a college kid's summer as told by, the iconic, Michael Scott:

Seeing your home friends:

Arguably the most exciting part of coming home for the summer.

Doing nothing all day:

Sleeping in late:

(12:30 p.m.) "Nope. Still too early."

Day-drinking:

Late night drinking:

Realizing you've done the same thing for the past two weeks:

Realizing you have no money:

The painful truth of life as a colleges student.

Deciding you needa job:

Discovering no one wants to hire you just for the summer:

This is incredibly frustrating.

Crying about being unemployed:

Settling for spending your summer as a babysitter or the local landscaper:

Settle for what you can get.

Spending those "big bucks" at your favorite restaurant with some friends:

Reconnecting with your college friends you've missed so much:

Realizing how much you miss college:

Your home away from home holds a special place in your heart.

But also dreading going back to your busy schedule, sleepless nights, and caffeine driven essays:

...because, let's face it, we'll all be heading back to school before we know it.
