Your Summer Home As Told By 'Drake & Josh'

Your Summer Home As Told By 'Drake & Josh'

When you walk in the door and see one of your siblings after a long finals week. You are just so excited to finally be home, but they are not having it.

And so the first thing you want to do is take a shower and bask in the joy of not having to wear flip flops while bathing.

But as soon as you get out of the shower, your mom is already yelling at you to unpack.

The first time your younger sibling's new boyfriend or girlfriend comes to pick them up, and you have to re-establish your role as the protective older sibling.

Remembering that you live in a house full of savages and that all food needs to be protected like:

When you realize that you'll be living with your family again for the next three months and don't know how to deal with them.

When you first go out to the bars at home and see people from your high school who went nowhere with their lives, and you get an ego boost like...

But then you see your ex from high school out at a bar and you are definitely not prepared for when they corner you in order to "catch up."

When you're back at your old retail job from high school, and you just can't deal with the customers anymore.

When you've been lazy for so long that you forget how to function and think that maybe it's time to go back to school ... or read a book.

When your aunt and uncle offer you an insane amount of money to babysit, and you have to sit there and watch television with the kids while fighting the urge to scream.

How many days until you can go back to school with your friends? Eighty-seven?

Me too, Josh. Me too.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
