It’s finally here, summer! Time to relax, hang with friends, sleep in….or more realistically, get a job, work a lot, and forget to sleep cause you’re trying to work and have the best summer ever.

It's likely that you’re home for the summer, and by home, I mean your parents’ house.

This fact on its own comes with some unseen issues though, as moving back home, even if just for the summer, is blatantly different from your campus housing or apartment.

Whether you’ve already been experiencing the issues on this list, or want to be prepared, here are 10 situations I’ve faced after only a week or so into summer break:

1. Trying to figure out how you fit back into the family collective again

After living for months on end focusing on keeping yourself alive while at the same time passing classes, now you’re in a situation where not everything is about you. It can be hard to make that shift and figure out who you are in the context of your newly reunited family. Change is normal though, so try to take it a day at a time.

2. Swearing

I know not all parents feel the same about swearing, but it’s sufficient to say that my parents are not fans. When you go months without needing a filter, you’d think they’d give you some time to re-adjust. I can’t count the number of times I’ve personally reminded my parents that I’m an adult, but that seems to have lost its significance in this matter.

3. Sleep schedules

Coming off of all-nighters and sleep deprivation, your sleeping habits and unofficial bedtimes will differ, to say the least. I’m sorry that I don’t go to sleep at 9:30 pm, and no, I don’t want you telling me to wake up hours before my alarm.

4. Groceries

More people in the house means buying more food, but what to buy? And who buys what? We’re all adults here, so what expectations do we have?

5. Different priorities

Surprisingly, my first thought isn’t to jump out of bed in the morning and start working on this project or another. At this point, afternoon naps and Netflix are looking embarrassingly satisfying.

6. Living in your childhood bedroom

It’s hard to insist that you’re an adult when you’re surrounded by the same things you’ve had since childhood. When your place to unwind looks and is the same as when you were in high school, it definitely has an effect on you psychologically.

7. Turning back into the kid version of yourself

Along with being surrounded by things from years ago, living with your parents again can bring out the rebellious teen we all tried so hard to forget we were. Here’s to the summer-long identity struggle.

8. Dinners, or any meals at all for that matter

Who even knows who’s in charge of dinner. Is it a free-for-all? A family meal? Actually, a mixture of both with the occasional dinner out…..

9. Arguments

Whether you’re an argumentative person or not, living in such close proximity to your parents and/or siblings will inevitably cause some disagreements. Let’s not even mention the multiple opposing opinions that you and your parents hold.

10. Privacy

There is only so much space in a house, and only so many locks. You just have to realize that your days of quiet and/or personal space are gone for the next few months.
