Summer is upon us and if you're like me, you're spending most of it in your college town. Whether you're taking classes or have a job, you may start off the summer thinking it's going to be just like the school year. However, not all of your friends are staying, the bars are filled with no one or old people who actually call the town their home, and your daily excitement is laying out by the pool or binge watching Netlfix.

Here are just some struggles as told by our great friends at Hogwarts. Now staying for the summer at that school is something I would never complain about.

1. Summer is here, you're in your college town, and you can't wait to be up to no good with those who are staying as well.

2. But then you get lazy but made plans with people, so you hope they magically just forget so you can stay in bed.

3. When someone you're happy you don't have to see around campus for four months invades your Twitter feed about their "awesome summer adventures".

4. You didn't stay true to your bikini body plan for the past few months, so why keep trying since it's already summer?

5. Sadly just because it's summer doesn't mean you're done with school, so you're stuck in classes for 3 hours a day.


6. And when you're not stuck in classes you're so bored in between Netflix binges and eating that you wonder about stupid little things.

7. Your parents think they can still tell you no or give you a curfew when you come home to visit.

8. When you finally have human interaction besides your roommates but haven't showered in days.

9. When you go out to the bars with two of your friends and there are a total of five others there.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
