1. Packing up your entire dorm

We all know this is when leaving college your freshman year becomes incredibly real. When rooms are completely bare as they were on move-in day, I would be shocked if anyone could say their eyes didn't water even a little.

2. Saying goodbye to all your new friends

This part is hard. With the stress of finals making you extra emotional, the tears start to flow as you say farewell to all your new besties and bros.

3. Heading home means sacrificing some freedom

For those of you out there that don't experience an access of rules upon arriving home, consider yourselves lucky. Obviously, the idea that you successfully lived on your own for about nine months may be a hard idea to grasp by some parents, so now that you're under their roof again...the rules are in full force.

4. No more crappy dorm food

As much as you may have complained about the horrid food they serve in the dining hall, we all know we will miss it just a little.

5. You know being home is like being back in high school

Welcome back to high school! Whether you swore you closed the yearbook for good or refuse to let it shut, you will be plopped back into the high school atmosphere all over again.

6. Work, work, work

After we are all completely broke from our first failed experience in budgeting, there is a definite need for a source of income. The summer is for loading up our bank accounts with ample amounts of dough to blow through next fall.

7. "Going out" isn't really going out

So you bought all those nice going out clothes? Well, you can go ahead and pack those away, because going out back in your hometown is most likely piling into a basement or chilling around a bonfire. No need for those classy dress shirts or cute bootie wedges, grab the sweats and go hang out with your homies.

8. Housework is a thing when you're home

Coming home means doing a lot more housework and it's all on your parent's terms. "This is NOT your dorm room! Clean your room. Wash the dishes. Vacuum the carpet. The laundry pile is taller than the dog, fix it!" — Mom
