Summer break is the time to kick back and relax. For college students, it means returning to a previous chapter. Though it is great to be home with family, there are many things to be missed about college. Below, this article consists of 8 things that college students will miss during summer break.

1. Seeing your friends constantly

They're not right around the corner anymore.

2. Not living by parent's rules

Wait, you mean I still have to follow the rules?

3. Having a meal plan

Getting Chick-fil-a everyday will most definitely be missed.

4. Having everything you need within five miles of you

College towns are great because everything is right there. Not anymore. . .

5. Not having chores

Isn't this supposed to be summer BREAK?

6. Not having to answer questions when you go out

Yes mom, I'll be home by 10. We're going to McDonald's. No. Yes. Can I go now?

7. Living by your own schedule

In college, time management was purely up to you. Not so much anymore.

8. The feeling of being independent

It feels weird being back home with your parents and not by yourself with a roommate (but it also feels great).

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
