First Day of Summer

Summer is Finally Here

7
First Day of Summer
HerCampus

In 6 days, I will finally be headed home to the comfort of my own room, bed, and food. Yes, I will miss college, but I love not having class and any immediate responsibilities waiting for me the next day in the early morning. Though it is finals week, I've already made a list of plans for what I'll be doing the first day of summer vacation off from college (until of course, I start my summer job as a camp counselor).

1) Cry in joy as I wake up from a peaceful slumber in my own room with no alarm blaring to wake me up for class.
Wow. I never thought this day would come. Finally. No school, freedom, breakfast in bed, not needing to sleep in my own bed with an excuse for "a night trip". No judgement.

2) Start watching TV
Fortunately, now that I have no homework to do, I can finally catch up on tv, AND start new tv shows. Thank God for modern technology and the Jesus of our time: Netflix <3

3) Make breakfast
Eh, eating isn't that important. I need to see if Olivia Pope and Fitz are gonna get back together AGAIN. (I hate the indecisiveness of their relationship, but they're so cute together, UGH)

4) Answer texts and phone calls now that I'm on vacation
Ok, I know this is pretty important to do while not doing anything else important, but ugh, I hate hearing the sound of generic Apple tones going off every 5 seconds.

5) Unpack
The worst part of vacation. Unpacking my life in my room, and scattering things all over the house just so it doesn't get too hot during the summer. Sorry mom and dad; but this is what happens when I have the hottest room in the house :P

6) SLEEP
True Story: This past week, I got a total of 31 hours of sleep. I think this will be the only thing I'll be doing during the whole break. So, I can effectively just scratch this list, as sleep is life.

Well, here's a complete, total and satisfying list to just get me through the first day of break. Though the annual problem for our generation is finding a good way to summer vacation, we might as well focus on today, and get through the rest later.

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
