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.*

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

1088

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

Washington College

CSU

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

2534

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
