It's that time of year again. Final are coming to an end, break is right around the corner, and it's time to go home for the summer! Whether you're going home for a few weeks, a month, or the whole break, there are some thoughts that everyone has about it. It's a weird mix of excited, relieved, and looking forward to leaving again. Here are 12 gifs that sum up everything you're feeling about going home.
1. When you're not even sure if you'll make it through finals.
Summer will never come. The library will be your new home. You'll never see your family again.
2. When you're trying to pack (and failing miserably).
AKA when you start to wonder how you acquired so much stuff and attempt to prioritize what needs to come home with you.
3. The moment you have to say goodbye to your school friends.
An entire summer apart is grounds for a tearful goodbye.
4. The second you realize you have to drive home (especially if your drive is more than an hour).
Remind me again why teleportation hasn't been invented yet?
5. Keeping in mind the benefits of home is what keeps you going.
Home cooked meal. Comfortable bed. Hot shower. Not having to pay for food.
6. Counting down the seconds until you're reunited with your best friend.
No reunion will be as important in your entire life.
7. Trying to remember everything you have to tell your best friend.
That includes everything you already told her via text.
8. Realizing the chances of running into an ex (or anyone else you don't want to see) have increased drastically.

9. Wondering if you'll have enough time to do everything and see everyone you want to.
I thought summer break was supposed to be stress-free?
10. When you start debating if you should get a summer job.
I mean, it is summer, so I have a right to be lazy, right? But I do need the money...
11. The moment you remember you don't have to go to an 8 a.m. class for once.
Goodbye, obnoxiously early alarm! I don't need you anymore!
12. When you're finally home and realize you can actually relax.
Maybe the reunion with your bed is more important than the one with your best friend.
Enjoy summer break, everyone. Eat until you can't move, embrace your bed, and enjoy a few months of socially-acceptable laziness.
