Things Every College Student Does In The Summer

Once summer rolls around every college student takes a huge, collective sigh in relief. No more finals. No more papers. No more 8 AM classes. We’re finally free and most of us are looking to stay that way. With little responsibility and no professors or deadlines looming over our heads we’re pretty much just immobile weirdos all summer. Here are some thing all college students are guilty of doing when the summer rolls around.

  • All the Sleeping
    • I’m not talking about a good eight hour sleep cycle. No, you’ve become nothing but a hibernating myth to your family. Oh, it’s 3 in the afternoon and you still haven’t been out of bed. Does it look like you care?
  • REAL FOOD.
    • No more of that dining hall crap. You are more than happy to scarf down all of your Mom’s home cooked food.
  • What Is Exercise?
    • Back at school you had free access to the campus gym. No you’d have to, gasp, pay for your own membership. You’re a broke college student. Ten dollars a month is just not in your budget.
  • Laundry? Laundry Who?
    • Now that you’re back home you basically revert back to your high school ways and rely on your parents for everything. If your laundry comes back clean once a week and folded on your bed you don’t ask questions.
  • Fun
    • Back at school, most of us limited our fun time. Parties were always dampened by homework but now it’s all fun, all the time.

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
