A couple weeks after school has ended, things begin to settle down. You have practically crossed everything off your summer to do list. You've had stress free days by the pool, read a summer novel, and snuggled with your dogs for hours. You missed your family so much and are still happy to be home with them, but now you are missing your other family. You spent months with your friends at college and they became your family at school. How can you possibly survive the months without them? You will no doubt experience these moments during your summer at home.

1. Planning a trip to go visit them as soon as possible.

2. Sending daily Snapchats of your dog to keep your streak up.

3. Texting them to ask to borrow their straightener but realizing they are five hours away, not just down the hall.

4. Getting their advice before you do anything, like a hair cut or pedicure color.

5. Looking through pictures from the past year and remembering the fun times.

6. Begging them to come visit you for a weekend.

7. Wishing you could just show up at their door after a bad day.

8. Wanting to tell them about the crazy things your family is doing.

9. Planning a ton of activities to do when you return in the fall.

10. Venting to them even though they are hours away and probably don't know the people you're talking about.

11. Finding yourself with no one to take cute pictures with.

12. Figuring out where the half way point between you and your closest friends and trying to meet there one day for lunch.

13. Needing to vent about your family or boyfriend, but not over texts.

14. Texting back and forth discussing Halloween costumes even though its still May.

15. Wanting to talk about "Dancing With The Stars" with someone who shares your dedication to the show.

16. Loving being home, but desperately wanting to be back with your friends.
