Marsupials Explain What It's Like to Be Home for the Summer

Going back home for the hottest months of the year is a unique experience, especially if you've just been away at college. While your friends are advancing their careers through internships, or saving children in foreign countries, you're probably on your sixth existential crisis/Gilmore Girls episode of the day. The strange feeling of being back home is a difficult one to explain, but these adorable marsupials understand!

Sleeping all day...

Koalas sleep 20 hours a day and get high off plants for the remaining four, a rigid schedule similar to that of the stereotypical collegiate's.

...and coming alive at night:

Sugar gliders know how to parrrrtay.

When nobody's gone grocery shopping yet so you eat whatever you can find:

This quokka's pissed he couldn't make it to Whole Foods last week.

Hanging out with your friends that are still in high school:

Wish I could keep my baby koala/high school friends safe in my pouch.

When your friends ask you to drive:

The new Chevy Opossum seats up to six.

Seeing your whole squad at the party:

A wooden box full of crazed opossums is seriously my type of get-together.

When you see a "Now Hiring" sign:

Wallabies don't need summer employment, because being cute is a FULL-TIME JOB.

Reuniting with your BFFs:

After years of friendship, they're totally koala-fied to put up with your hometown cabin fever.

"Come over I have snacks"

Hope this wombat makes it before the Cheez-Its are gone.

Seeing someone from your high school in public:

"YOU AGAIN."

When someone hints that you're lazy for not getting a job/internship/your life together yet:

In conclusion, there's no shame in not having Big Plans this summer. If any of your internship-serving, Europe-backpacking pals ask how your summer's going, show them some relatable marsupials instead of trying to hype it up.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
