Finals are almost over and summer is so close, you can actually taste it. You've conquered another year of college and you finally get to go home! But just remember, as the school year draws to a close, and you slide into "lazy college student mode" for four months, summer break can have its own set of emotional ups and downs.

1. Being so ecstatic to finally be done with finals and research papers.

2. Experiencing the gratitude that comes with sleeping in your own bed for four months straight.

3. Realizing you get to spend time with all of your old friends again.

4. Then realizing you also need to get a job.

5. Being endlessly annoyed with your mom because you still haven't unpacked and she keeps nagging you about it.

6. When it's mid-June and you really start missing your school friends.

7. But you've still yet to miss the dining hall food.

8. Getting pumped to buy all new school supplies and dorm room decor.

9. Thinking you still have a month left of summer, then finding out move-in is in a week.

10. Saying goodbye to your family, friends, and most importantly, your dog.

11. Driving back to campus, realizing summer is actually over, and once again getting smacked in the face with all of your responsibilities.
