College is a time for exploration and fun, but as the year comes to a close, the best season comes about! It's summer time and I am more excited then ever. Here are some pros and cons that I have experienced when I come home from college for the summer.

1. Pro: Summer!

It's summer time!! Now is the time to sit back relax, enjoy the sunshine, get a tan, and have fun!

2. Con: Bossy Parents.

While you were so used to taking care of yourself, your parents want to boss you around again. You get to hear things like "Where are you going??" "What time will you be home?" and my personal favorite, "When you live under my house, you play by my rules!"

3. Pro: Tailgates!

It's tailgating season!! Summer means more concerts! So pop open that trunk, get some drinks, play some music, and have fun socializing with friends!

4. Con: Summer Jobs.

Summer time also means time to get a summer job... Time to save up for school in the fall. Unfortunatly, the parent loan that you were used to getting in high school doesn't exactly apply when you're in college...

5. Pro: Friendships!

Summer is a great time to spend and catch up with your friends, especially the ones that didn't go to the same college as you.

6. Con: Leaving friends is hard.

Unfortunatly, you also have to leave the friends you made at school that don't live where you live. This makes for tears, but don't worry, you'll see them again in time!

7. Pro:SLEEP!

Sleep! You get to sleep in your own bed and not the stiff, hard ones the dorm uses

8. Con: Cleaning.

Chores... Remember the saying "My house, my rules" that I mentioned above, well unfortunatly this also applies to chores. You're parents want you to pick up the slack around the house now that you're back.

9. Pro: Traveling!

Road trips!! Without school in the way you can go on road trips with your friends. Amuesment parks, beach, mesuems, anything and everything is possible now! (Assuming you can get off work that is!)

10. Con: Being bored.

Finally, boredom... Even though there is so much to do in summer, sometimes you still have thoose awkward moments when you really don't know what to do and all your friends are busy.
