You finish a great year at school, pack up all your stuff, and head back home for the summer. At first, it's great because you're happy to be back with your friends and family. Things slowly turn for the worst as you realize you still have responsibilities. These are common things college students feel when they return home for the summer.

You're excited to be home!

You're happy to be back with your family and home friends. Nothing is better than your mom's home-cooked meals.

Still enjoying it

You're hanging out with your friends and catching up. Telling all your college stories and laughing until late at night.

You become stressed to find a job

You realize you need to have some sort of income over the summer so you can have the best summer as well as support your Friday nights during the semester.

Your summer class begins

Now summer turns stressful and you have no free time with work and your class.

Your parents begin to get on your nerves

"I know my life is a mess, Mom, I'm doing my best!"

Bored. Bored. Bored.

The working life is draining you and you're too sober on the weekends.

Night crying occasionally occurs

You really miss your college friends and are ready to be back.

Never been so ready to go somewhere

You're so ready to go back to college that you'd even be willing to do work just to be back.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.
