Summer’s officially here, so it’s time to live all those summer dreams we’ve waited for all year. Well, kind of. Depending on where home is, your summer may be a little different. But who doesn’t like leaving school to head back home? Believe it or not, going back home can get really old really quickly. If you’re a returner, then you’ve probably had a few (if not all) of these moments.
When you’re finally home and so excited to see everyone
Come here all you beautiful people! Let me embrace you!
And one week later, all the people you once missed have managed to get on every nerve you have
When does school start again?
When you see one of your old friends from high school
Oh my gosh! It's like a high school reunion!
But then you’re forced to have awkward “small talk”
Soooo, uh, how’s the weather?
Nightly movie dates with your family are always so fun
Yay! Movie marathon!
Until they’re not…
Seriously? "Twilight" for the sixth time?
You get to drive all around town without a care in the world
Making my way downtown, walking fast, faces pass and I'm homebound...
Or when your family uses you as an on-call taxi service
Hello, I’ll be your involuntary Uber driver today.
You get to visit the same places, like your favorite downtown restaurant or your boutique
Ahhhh, I’ve missed this place.
You get to visit the. same. places.
Uhh, I missed this place?
Though there’s often a love/hate relationship with our hometowns during the summer, it’s important to cherish the time we spend at home. Because nothing beats life with no responsibilities, even if it’s just for a couple months.
