You made it through final papers, projects and exams. Through packing up, moving out and goodbyes to all your friends. You managed the trip back home, all the while reminiscing about all the fond memories made that year. You can't believe how quickly it went by and how much you are going to miss being in your college town, but you still can't wait to be home. You anticipate hugs from your mom, snuggles with your pet and blissful hours lounging around watching Netflix or soaking up the sun outside before starting the world of internships and summer jobs.
Here's the first week of summer brought to you by The Office.
When you first get home and your mom attacks you with that hug she's been waiting to give you since you left Christmas break:
When you establish to your family your goals for the summer:
When you realize just how weird your family has gotten since the last time you left:
When your parents try to reimpose the curfew you had in high school:

And when your parents try to pull you out of bed so you will actually do something productive:
When you find a new show on Netflix to binge-watch for the summer:
When your mom asks if you want her to make you lunch, and you're just like:
When you have to pick up your younger sibling because they had too much to drink at their high school party, and you feel like they are way too young for that:
When you look at your pet while you're both sprawled out on the couch and just think:
When you have to get up early to go to all those appointments you had been putting off since you went home for Christmas break:
When you catch up on all the neighborhood gossip you were missing out on:
When your friend already has a summer romance lined up and you're just like:
When your parents ask why your grades weren't as good as they were last semester, and you don't want to tell them the truth (i.e. a combination of laziness and partying), so you just play dumb:
When you lay out for the first time thinking you're gonna get that beach goddess glow, but instead turn lobster red:
When you think about how long and hard that internship or job you start next week is going to be:
HAGS, y'all!
