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.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
