Now that school is over, you no longer have to wake up for that 8 a.m. class anymore or worry about having three tests in one day. You get to kick back and relax and put up your feet... maybe. This is about what every college student's basic summer looks like:

1. Upon school being over, you get to catch up on all the sleep you lost from the restless nights at school.


2. Having as many pool and lake days as possible until you are too burnt to enjoy them anymore.




3. Exchanging the college cafeteria and fast food for some much needed home cooking, finally something not so greasy.



4. Getting to see your hometown friends and family after not seeing them most the year.


5. Binge watching a Netflix show... or three.


6. "Attempting" to workout and get in shape. (Hey, at least you tried.)


7. Taking a few classes or an internship to speed up getting a degree so you don't graduate when you are 30.


8. Missing your college friends

9. Taking a vacation and going to the beach.. finally.


10. Working a part-time job to save money for the upcoming school year, then proceeding to spend it on things you don't need.



11. Loathing the lack of sports and missing tailgating/football season.



12. Losing track of time and never knowing what day it is because it's irrelevant during the summer.


13. Occasional weekday bars visits.


14. Waking up from a nap and thinking it's the next day.


15. Your parents hindering you about not hanging out with them.


16. Did I mention missing football season?


17. When bored, going back and forth on your social media apps until you're caught up on everything and constantly refreshing each app, then going to the next one. Repeat the cycle.


18. Wanting to buy things and go places but you have no money.


19. Going out on a pretty day with your friends and their pets.


20. Thinking, "What am I doing with my life", waking up anytime before 9.


21. Doing absolutely nothing whenever possible.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.
