The sun is out, there are no more 8 AM lectures to worry about, and the beach is now our second home. Now that we have a break from all of the craziness that comes with being a college student, we have all of the time in the world to relax and enjoy ourselves as a nice break from hitting the books. But that doesn't mean our summers still aren't wild with unexpected twists and turns throughout the way.

1. Having to be away from all of your college friends for 3 months

Take me back... now. Three months is an eternity.

2. Working endless hours at your job to make money and pay off loans

You gotta get money somehow, but you also need sleep

3. Trying to stay in shape before going back to school and ordering out 24/7

GTL is your new motto.

4. But also overeating on your family's cooking because you missed high quality home-cooked meals

Almost anything will beat dining hall food.

5. Trying to find a summer fling or relationship but failing

Guess I'll still be forever alone.

6. Missing going out on the weekends at school with your friends

At school there's no curfew or parents telling you what to do, and at home there's no frats nearby.

7. Trying to avoid the people from home that you thought you wouldn't see anymore after high school

Leave me alone, I don't know you.

8. Being bored all the time since you have to plan everything with friends instead of walking down the hall to hang out with them

Instead of being only a few doors down from you in a dorm, your friends are now a car ride away and everything has to be planned in advance, which is just work.

9. Trying to constantly avoid your family when they give you more responsibilities

I love you guys, but summer is my only time off from adulting.

10. At this point we're just waiting to go back to college

When's move in day?

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. 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.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

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.
