Summer used to be the be-all and end-all of the school year. It was the ultimate goal, the best thing to have looming on the horizon. Until college came around, that is. After living away from home, returning to the same rules you had to abide by in high school is less than desirable. Getting together with friends is a lot harder than when you could just walk down the hall to another dorm room, and while you can catch up on your sleep and eat some pretty good homemade food, your social life has never been drier. Whether you're still hype for summer or wish you could rewind to the beginning of the school year, here are some thoughts every college student has after moving home for summer vacation.

1. No shower shoes

2. Free laundry

Look at all that extra money you have to blow.

3. A whole refrigerator… Full of REAL food… Steps away from my bed...

Walking downstairs to the fridge and back counts as cardio, right?

4. *Walks down hall* Sh*t, where are all of my friends?

5. Why doesn’t my house have a Starbucks?

You mean I can't start every day with a caramel macchiato?

6. Why can’t I use dining dollars when I go out to eat?

7. *Hears car alarm go off outside* FIRE ALARM, GOTTA GO!

8. Private bathrooms for the win.

Your shower is basically the same thing as the stage on "The Voice

9. Going to bed wasn’t this scary when I had a roommate...

You didn't realize you were afraid of the dark until you had no one to brave it with.

10. I can stay in my pajamas all day.

11. Where am I supposed to put all of my clothes from college? Why do I own this many clothes?


12. Why won’t my parents stop telling me what to do? I clearly survived living on my own.

I left one plate in the sink. The roof is not caving in.

13. Turns out I can’t talk to my parents like they’re my college friends...

"Define 'lit.'" No, thank you!

14. How do I drive a car again?

Which pedal is the brake?

15. It’s finally quiet.

16. …Too quiet.

The silence is too loud.

17. *Watches TV for five minutes* OK, I'm bored.

You can only watch so many episodes of "Cupcake Wars" before you desire some human interaction.

18. Where’s the party at?

Relaxing is overrated. Where are the tunes and good times?

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.
