As a college student, summer is always an interesting time of the year. One moment you are living independently at school and the next you are back home under your parent's roof. Nevertheless, the most exciting part of summer is getting to see all of your hometown friends in person instead of over FaceTime.
So far, the majority of my summer has consisted of work and naps... Michael Scott can explain the rest.
Stage 1: Leaving School
Leaving school can be a sad and emotional time for everyone. However, there is still the positivity of going home to your family and friends to get you through it.
Stage 2: Summer Planning
Planning all of the fun things you'll do during summer break is always so exciting. There are weekend trips, sports games, lake houses and so much more to go and experience during these three months.
Stage 3: Boredom Strikes
The issue with making these summer plans is that unless you set a date for them, they are solely hypothetical. This means that most nights you come home after work, take a shower and immediately go into your room for bed...at 9 o'clock.
Stage 4: The Loner
Because you have spent so much time being by yourself, it has become a comfortable habit; you've given up trying to rally the troops to go out.
Stage 5: Cha-Ching!
Because the majority of your time is spent either working or binge-watching Netflix, you have made a ton of money. But like all irresponsible college students, you are going to spend some of it on some unnecessary SWAG.
Stage 6: The End
It is now August and time for the fall semester to start up. You have made it through another summer. Congratulations!!!
Part of me hopes that you do not relate to this article because your summer is much more exciting, and another part of me hopes that I am not alone on this one. Nevertheless, have a great summer!
