1. You start off ambitious with your summer plans, going out every weekend, doing DIY projects, doing your hair, your nails, planning outfits for every day. Until it all falls apart about mid-July.
2. You see old high school friends, which, more often than not, sucks.
3. You get exercise any way you can.
4. You plan a strict schedule for healthy eating, and then you go out, have one too many drinks, and end up eating an entire plate of Hibachi chicken from a Japanese steakhouse like I did last night.
5. You go to the pool, and it isn't as glamorous as you remember.
6. You dedicate only a small fraction of time to your studies and prominent research.
7. You make bad decisions.
8. You butt heads with your siblings while living under the same roof for the first time since high school, and you go to extreme measures to show them who's boss.
9. The final stage of summer break is straight-up chillin'.
