You've finished the semester of college and you've come home. Your room is filled with boxes filled with all of your college things, you can't wait to go to that local place to get coffee and catch up with old high school friends.

Spend some time with your family first. Sit down with them at dinner, watch a movie with them, it doesn't matter. Enjoy their company. I can guarantee that they have missed you over the last four months. Fill them in on all of your college experiences. Unfair professors, new friends, club drama, I'm sure they will appreciate the shared details of the last four months of your life.

Unpack your boxes, bins, bags and figure out what you really used last year and what you can go next year without. When you unpack, don't just put things in various corners of your room, otherwise you will be tripping over things and it will become frustrating. Don't put off unpacking either. One day next week you will want that polka dotted cute pair of shorts that just so happens to be at the bottom of a bin. Trust me, it won't be fun unpacking clothes after they are thrown all over your floor.

Look at textbook prices for next semester. If you have a summer job, you want to make sure you have enough money set aside for your textbooks. If you need to ask grandma for money, you know exactly how much to ask for. Also, clean out your backpack. Throw out old papers that you don't need anymore, those half used pens with the caps missing, granola bar or gum wrappers and wash those gym clothes at the bottom.

Go to the beach. Unless you went to college somewhere in Florida, odds are that you haven't gone to the beach in while. Swim in the ocean, enjoy the warm weather. For once, you won't be cramped up in the library surrounded by textbooks and piles of homework.

Meet with all of your high school friends. I'm sure they would all love to hear from you and fill you in on their awesome college experiences. Meet at the local hot spot. Maybe a sushi place across town or a coffee shop. Either way, reconnect if you have lost touch over the last year.

Visit the amusement park. Take your friends and go to an amusement park, enjoy the thrill of a roller coaster and eat some fried dough. Visit the nearest Six Flags and ride the tallest roller coaster there.

Try something new. You only live once and you have a world full of new experiences all around you. Stay in contact with your college friends. Reconnect with your high school friends. Enjoy the company of your family. Get yourself prepared for next semester. Soak up the sun. Enjoy being home before you have to leave again in August.
