Summer vacation is finally the time to relax and live it up. But more often than not, we all go through the same phases of summer. Here are nine GIFs almost all of us can relate to this (and every) summer.

1. When you finally see all of your high school friends all in one place:

Summer is finally the time when almost everyone is home and has the time to hang out. It's probably been months or the entire year since you've seen some of your friends, and it just feels nice to connect again.

2. When you go out to eat every single day:

Taco Bell Monday night, Pizza on Tuesday, McDonald's on Wednesday, Ice cream on Thursday, and Chipotle on Friday is what your week looks like.

3. And then you tell yourself you'll work out the next day:

You say you'll hit the gym, but we all know what's really happening.

4. But this is the reality:

At least the thought was there!

5. When you're awake at 4 a.m. for the sole purpose of being awake:

Summer is the only time you can stay up late, listen to music and talk to friends without worrying about school for a while.

6. ...and you have to wake up for work in 3 hours:

...unless you're working. Then you know the struggle is real.

7. When you realize over a month of summer has already passed by:

It's either going really fast or really slow for some of us.

8. When your mom takes advantage of your free time by throwing endless chores at you:

All of a sudden, you're home and your mom thinks you know how to cook, clean, vacuum, and do laundry?

9. But it's still the summer and you can have fun without having to worry about exams:

Enjoy it while it lasts!
