5 Ways To Bring College Home On Summer Break

So, it's officially summer break and you're already bored out of your mind. You can't help but think about all of the crazy fun you'd be having if you were only back at school with all of your best friends. If you're looking for ways to to bring college back to you, check these out:

1. If you had any friends from school that also live near you back at home, hit them up.

Nothing wrong with bonding with the same group of people over summer break that you did over the school year. Sure, you can still spend time with your high school friends, but when you’re really missing your Bachelor Monday’s, there’s nothing wrong with hanging out once in a while (or all of the time…).

2. If your friends are from all over the place, make visits!

There’s nothing wrong with making a quick stop at a neighboring city or state. Not only do you get to hang out with friends, but you get a quick little vacation, too!

3. Find similar restaurants that remind you of your college town.

I don’t know about you, but my school has an amazing burrito place that almost nothing will ever compare to. That’s why finding a great Mexican place this summer will come in handy. Also, if you have that Chipotle or Wendy’s back at school, stopping there late at night may bring back some crazy memories.

4. Talk about your memories and hilarious adventures you had during the school year.

Nothing wrong with bragging about how great your year was, who you spent it with and why it was so awesome. Talk with your high school friends, and share some memories! I guarantee that they'll be dying to do the same!

5. Gather up all of the pictures you took during the year and make a video.

It’s a boring summer day, and you’ve got nothing to do. Go ahead and look through your photo albums and put them all together! You never know how hilarious it really may end up being.

And last but not least, don’t dwell on it! You had an amazing year, remember that, and instead of being bored all summer break, prepare yourself for the return and be excited for an even better year!

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
