14  Times The People Of 'Napoleon Dynamite' Were All Of Us During The Summer
Giphy

Summertime is a great time. It's arguably the greatest time of year. No more classes, less stress, more sunshine, more opportunities...three months of endless possibility. Napoleon Dynamite and his friends/family know that.

1. That beautiful moment when you finish your last final and it is officially summer

And it's time to roll out.

2. When people ask you what you are planning to do this summer

Because we are free human beings with three months of school-less bliss.

3. And some of those plans include being on the computer all day

Without school, you have time to enjoy the internet without feeling guilty about it.

4. But eventually some of your friends convince you to actually experience the world

Even if it's not the best idea.

5. When you see someone's insane "swimsuit bod"

To quote Macklemore: "Ima go to the beach but I'm not taking my shirt off in public."

6. When you decide to get all "artsy" and try to take photos with your friends

Summer is probably the best time to go out and do some impromptu photo shoots.

7. When your parents make you do chores, even though it's summer

"Mom, I can't go out and feed the llama...I just got out of a stressful school year. It's too much."

8. There's always that intense game of groundies

Or hide and seek, or sardines, or even tag if you're feeling up to it. You're never too old for outdoor games.

9. Of course, there's always the intense heat of the summer that you don't necessarily get during the school year

Gotta stay hydrated.

10. If you're lucky, you get more chances to pick people up from the airport

Pro Tip: Signs are always appreciated.

11. When you complain to your parents about the lack of food in the house in the hopes that they will go to the grocery store

If you're coming back from college, summer should be the time that you don't have to pay for your own food.

12. But you are then forced to take matters into your own hands

Fishing is a summer activity right?

13. Then the disillusionment of the freedom of summer hits

Responsibilities that you have tried desperately to avoid start to pile up.

14. And you realize that you actually need money

...and sometimes you have to be creative. I hear Michael's has some great crafting supplies.


But even then, we love you, Summer.*


*The season, not the girl

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
