Going Home For The Summer, As Told By New Girl

It's only depressing until you don't have to pay rent.

Going Home For The Summer, As Told By New Girl
Princesa da Preguica

Ah, summer. The only people who enjoy summer more than high school students are college students. Finally we get to pack up our dorms and say goodbye to exams, finals, and ridiculous term papers for three glorious months of nothing (unless you take summer classes, and if so, bless your soul). So here's your summer vacation, as summed up by the show New Girl.

When you see high schoolers driving around town


But then you realize they are judging you for moving back in with your parents


Then you get home and have to explain your car's contents to your parents


You start out trying to pretend you don't drink


But then you try to innocently order your first drink in front of your parents


And you feel so guilty for pretending you haven't drank before


But by the end of summer you really stop caring what they think


So you spend your summer doing nothing


But then you realize you need a job


When really you don't want to work at all


You realize all your friends are studying abroad or doing really cool internships


And you start losing touch with the world


Your parents try to relate to make you feel better about living at home


But you secretly love not having roommates


And you know you couldn't survive on your own


...And you really enjoy the free groceries


So you accept your fate


Before you know it, it's time to go back to school


And then your friends ask what you did with your summer

Yup, sounds about right, Winston.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
