It's summer! Finally after months of toil and agony, you have arrived at this glorious moment of freedom. These three months could not have come soon enough and now there's nothing to do but kick back, relax and enjoy it while it lasts. Perhaps you're working over the summer, which means you will be making some extra cash and gaining valuable work experience in the process. But as everyone knows, summer vacation isn't always a non-stop, fun-filled adventure. Here are the stages of summer vacation everyone goes through.
1. Excitement
After that last final you're eager to go back home and forget about school
2. Happiness
You're free! No more deadlines, no more three-hour lectures. Time to do whatever you want! Well, at least for a little while.
3. Settling In
You've settled into a nice groove now that you've been back for a couple of weeks.
4. If you're working, you start getting used to the daily happenings of your job
5. You start to catch up on your favorite shows
6. Read some interesting books
7. You might even be making money
8. But then after a while, you fall into a rut. You've watched all your favorite shows.
9. The free time you so desperately craved becomes an agonizing slog.
10. At work, it seems like the day will never end.
11. You're doing everything you can to keep from going crazy.
12. But then before you know it, there's only a week left until the semester begins and you wonder, "Where did the time go?"
13. And despite everything that happened, you'll miss those lazy summer days once the fall begins.
Here's to a great summer!
