After months away at school, I think that we can all agree it's nice to finally be back home.
There are no more tests to study for or homework to do, so it is a perfect time to de-stress, even if it is only for a few days before your next commitment. Whether summer entails an internship, a part-time job or maybe just some downtime, the first week back is a nice reminder of all of the things that you know and love about your hometown.
So if you just concluded another strong school year, you probably will, or already have, done some of these things.
1. Re-place all of your belongings back into your room, or rather, struggle to do so
Essentially coming to the conclusion that you have way too much clothing and not enough closet space. You also have double of just about everything.
2. Spend hours on the couch with your doggies
I will hug all of you and never, ever let go again.
3. Eat an obscene amount of your mom's home-cooking
Finally, I am no longer starving. Too bad now I need new clothing that I already determined I don't have the room for.
4. Answer the question, "So how does it feel to be done with another year?" a hundred times
I'm numb to the feeling. I just want to cuddle with my dogs and not study for a few months.
5. Eat an obscene amount of food from your favorite local restaurants
How and why did I ever leave this town?
6. Post on social media about being done and/or proclaim your love for your bed
Just wait for all those students who post about their GPA's.
7. Snapping all of your friends pictures of your home and pets
This is the creature I Skype with ten times a week. Love her as much as I do.
8. Go back to your favorite mall and spend money you shouldn't
Sephora: how to go bankrupt with a smile on your face.
9. Refuse to put on real clothing for as long as possible
This will be my outfit for the next four months. Deal with it.
10. Spend hours in the living room with your family watching your favorite shows
Nothing is better than watching the same "Seinfeld" episodes over and over again with my mom, dad and three amazing dogs.
