13 Things That Happen When You Go Home For The Summer
The Odyssey

You’ve waited all year to go home. Perhaps you haven’t been home since winter break, or at all. However long it’s been, you’ve probably missed your bed, seeing your high school friends, and going to your favorite restaurant. While going home is typically a positive experience, here are all the things that happen when you go home for the summer.

1. You see your old crew

The OG squad.

2. You have a curfew again

America, home of the free until you live under your parents' roof.

3. You no longer have to wear shower shoes

And you can sing all you want.

4. You can walk around naked again

5. Food is free

Finally some home-cooked meals.

6. You run into people from high school all over town

You'll probably run into your old crush while you're not wearing makeup and in pajamas at your local Rite-Aid.

7. You have boxes of stuff around your room

Yeah, maybe you'll unpack them at the end of the summer.

8. You watch a lot of Netflix

Hey, you missed a lot during the school year.

9. You get a job at the mall or local restaurant

It's the worst.

10. You can sleep in

Well, you can sleep in while knowing that there's no projects due soon.

11. You call your college friends everyday

"Come visit" is an overused phrase.

12. You don't have to wear headphones to listen to music or watch a movie

This is the life.

13. All while waiting to return to school

All

Summer is great, but we also can't wait to get back to school to see our friends.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
