Summer is one of the most looked forward to parts of the year by college kids. For some, it's a fabulous time of rest, relaxation, and fun. For others, it's a time to make as much money as you possibly can at a summer job. For all of us, there's only so much time before you're sending these messages to your college friends when you're officially over "being home" for the summer.

1. "Why do you have to live so far away?!"

assets.rbl.ms

Time differences suck, no matter how big or small they are. So do long drives and the many miles that make summer visits nearly impossible.

2. "Can I come live with you?"

media.tumblr.com

Because living in a different town or state from your college BFFs is weird as all get out.

3. "I'm tired of adulting SOS"

i.kym-cdn.com

I need a nap. You need a nap. Everybody everywhere needs a nap!!!

4. "We lost our streak again!"

It's not like I really cared about that streak.... I'm fine. You're fine. Just don't EVER do it again, okay?

5. "Do you still have that shirt I let you borrow?"

You probably still have it. You also either wear it all the time and claim it as your own, OR you have no earthly idea where it is.

6. "I MISS YOU LITERALLY SO MUCH!!!!!"

media.giphy.com

You probably fee like there's no way you'll survive until August when y'all go back to your college town.

7. "It's been 69 days since our last Taco Tuesday how are we alive?!"

media.giphy.com

Taco Tuesday just isn't the same without $1 tacos and all your best buds.

8. "I didn't know that they broke up!!!"

i.gifer.com

It's so hard to keep up with everyone (and their relationship status) when you don't see them at least on a weekly basis!

9. "I just wanna start school already I'm such a grandma"

Giphy

Just because you wanna move back to school doesn't mean that you wanna start classes. You just really miss the squad!!!

10. "I wish I had my own apartment already!!"

media.giphy.com

At least your parents don't make you pay rent, right?

11. "When we have actual money, we're going on a road trip!"

Giphy

*Sings* "We're going on a trip, in our favorite rocket ship!"

12. "Why do we have to have such opposite schedules?"

Giphy

You work all day, one friend works all afternoon, another friend works night shifts. You can never get it together!

13. "What day are you moving back on campus?"

media.giphy.com

You want to be back ASAP, but also you wanna make sure all your friends are there, too.

14. "I still miss you literally so much!!!

media.rbl.ms

There's something about the bond between college friends.

15. "Can you FaceTime soon?

Giphy

FaceTime, Google Duo, Skype, Snapchat videochat, Houseparty, take your pick!

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

Adulting

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

University of Dayton

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
