Summer as a college student is terrible. Yeah I said it. Terrible. Unless all your best friends live in the same town as you or remotely close when you go home, you're going to have the most boring summer ever. Here are a few things us college students face when you're home for summer.
1. Jobs
Yep. You're an "adult" now, so you have to do adult things like get a summer job or an internship. That's if you're lucky and the places in your home town are hiring seasonal positions. If not you're stuck at home probably trying to run a lemonade stand on your street corner. Hashtag BROKE.
2. Missing your friends
Because you're at home and most of your friends live hours away you're so bored to the point where you actually consider writing hand written letters to your bff because you have nothing better to do.
3. Netflix
Netflix and chill is apparently a big thing in the college world now and if you're like me you're obviously netflix and chillin by yourself, snuggled in bed, avoiding responsibilities. So you can only assume that will be a part of your summer to-do list.
4. Activities
Because you have nothing to do you inevitably spend hours on pinterest trying to find crafts and new projects to work on because you're bored out of your mind
5. Snapchat
Because your friends aren't around you snapchat the crap out of everything. "Hey here's me getting coffee. Oh look I went somewhere new! Geotag!! Hey look at these cool filters. Hi snap chat friends!!! My summer is great and i'm going to brag about it on snapchat so you think so."
6. Vacation
The only good thing that comes out of summer is vacation because you get to do cool things like visit your grandma or go to the beach.
7. Dying of boredom
Summer usually is the time when you get to relax, go to the pool, and catch up on all of your favorite tv shows but what if you run out of shows or are tired of your eyes burning from the chlorine? What do you do then? Nothing. Exactly nothing.
8. Sleep
You aren't on a set schedule so you more than likely stay up all night and sleep all day. Some days I don't even leave my bed.
9. Fighting with your siblings
You haven't been with your siblings all year except holidays and now you have to live with them. Now you have to share the tv, they eat all your favorite foods, and they ask annoying questions. Can we sell siblings on Ebay??
10. Unpacking
It's almost the end of the summer and you're still living out of your suitcase. You haven't unpacked since you've moved home and it's probably because you're so ready to head back to school.
Summer break is fun, but honestly, in college it is way too long. Three months with absolutely nothing to do with no friends around is terrible! But the time with your family is really great and it's nice to be home with mom or grandma and to be pampered with home cooked meals and your own bed. So here's to summer break, praise jesus the semester is over.
