Summer is coming to an end. No more summer internships, no more traveling the world and no more living under the same roof as our parents. If you go to IU, chances are you have been waiting for this day to come. Here are just some of the things we Hoosiers have missed most about our favorite place on Earth.

Our beautiful campus

The beauty of this place is what made many of us choose to spend the best four years of our life here. This view makes walking to class not so bad after all.

Pizza X cheesy bread

Extra large cheesy bread with ranch please! No, I don't mind waiting 45 minutes to an hour.

Tailgates

It's that time of year again ladies and gents! Sure our football team doesn't always have the best record, but hey, we've still never lost a tailgate!

KOK

As a 20-year old, I can't relate to this one too much, but word on the street is that Kilroy's is a pretty big deal.

The ability to order Jimmy John's until 4 a.m.

I guess other Jimmy John's normally close at like, 9 p.m?

Basketball games

We have high hopes for this season with new recruit Romeo Langford. Look out B1G, here we come!

Being yelled at by Brother Jed

Who doesn't love getting screamed at that you are going to hell on your way to class in Ballantine?

Hartzell's ice cream

One scoop of cookies and cream please!

Welcome week

Classes haven't started/gotten too difficult yet, everyone is excited to be back after a long summer away and many memories are waiting to be made.

Peach Taaka?

OK maybe we don't miss this one so much, but something about IU's drink of choice just feels like home.

Getting Baked!

The best cookies I've ever eaten. Yes, it's cookies.

Little 500 week

While we have a while to wait for that and we don't want to rush the year away, Little 5 week will always have a soft spot in the heart of any Hoosier.

Living with all of your closest friends

Perhaps the thing we miss most. With every favorite place comes favorite people. It feels good to have everyone you ever need to see within 20-minute walking distance again.

Every year we return to IU we appreciate our beautiful school a little bit more. At the same time, it is another year closer to Doomsday: graduation. We love you Bloomington, don't ever change.

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.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
