College is absolutely amazing. You have the freedom to do just about whatever you want, whenever you want! You get to manage your time and make your own decisions. One slight problem though, coming home for the summer. Here is a short list of things that definitely change when you come back from school.

1. You cant go out super late anymore. 3 a.m. adventures don't go over too well with your parents.

2. Your nights now end at 11 p.m. instead of starting at 11 p.m.

3. You have to constantly ask permission to do things.

4. Your schedule is now organized by your parents and by work.

5. You have to actually make plans, instead of just dropping by your friends room.

6. Your friends aren't constantly around to talk too.

7. You actually have to text your friends from school instead of just waiting to see them later in the day.

8. You don't have to do your own dishes and laundry anymore.

This can be a huge perk especially for those like me, who think doing laundry is actually a form of torture.

9. You're probably still on a college sleep schedule.

If you are anything like me, you're probably having trouble getting to bed before two.

10. Small things you use to do at school, like trips to go get slurpees, aren't as fun anymore.

You'll probably find yourself saying "well now what are we gonna do?"

11. You have your biggest support team around you now 24/7.

Coming home means you have people who want the best for you by your side whenever they need you.

12. You're not so home sick anymore.

Whether you want to admit it or not coming home for the summer has it's downsides, but overall it's a giant perk. I can't wait to spend the summer with the people I love the most.
