Fact: The older you get, the less fun summer vacation becomes. As a college student, summer vacation is usually filled with minimum wage jobs, internships and random odd jobs in order to save money for the upcoming semester. However, there are still some perks to summer break.

1. When you run into someone from high school out in public.

Let's both just pretend not to see each other please.

2. Realizing your parents are going to start buying you food or gas again now that you're home.

Nothing says "I love you" quite like a full tank of gas.

3. Discovering new hobbies with all of your free time.

4. Remembering that you actually don't have any time for hobbies because of your summer job.

Why must I be so poor?

5. Encountering your family when emerging from your room at 2 p.m. for food.

On my day off, anything before 4 p.m. is considered morning.

6. Getting called into work on your day off.

There is no justice here.

7. When you're finally reunited with the squad.

There's nothing quite like reuniting with your oldest groups of friends.

8. Receiving an email on your school account.

Whatever it is can wait until I get back to campus.

9. Finally having time to catch up on your tv shows you've missed.

Thank the lord for DVR.

10. Remembering that summer vacation means dealing with heat and humidity.

Can't we just have fall weather all year round?

11. Finally, realizing there are only a few weeks left until you are reunited with your college friends.

Being home has its perks, but nothing compares to being back on campus with your best friends.
