Pros of Moving Back In With Parents

No one wants to move back in with parents, but it can't be that bad.

Apr 26, 2016

No one wants to move home after graduating from college; I don't even want to. However, somethings don't work out the way you want, and you have to move back home for a couple months. Hopefully just two. But here are some pros to moving back home.

1. Home cooked meals

Getting home from work and your mom/dad has prepared a lavish (okay maybe not) meal for you and your family. I mean, you didn't get this at college so this has to be a plus. I know I'm excited for it. If it's eating pizza (that I didn't pay for) in front of a TV, you can count me in!

2. Money saver

Maybe your parents will make you pay rent, but it's not as much as owning your own apartment. I'd rather spend $300 a month, than $1,500. Thank you mom and dad.

3. Utilities

EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED. Woooohooo. No separate bills for Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Fios, and whatever... everything is included. Still fueling my addiction, and I don't have to pay extra for it.

4. Someone to take care of you

For those mornings when you wake up a little too hungover, and not good. Your mom is only a text away to bring you some cold water, and some Advil. Mom is going to be the real MVP.

5. Always have someone to rant to

Now you don't have to call your dad or mom to rant about your day at work, or whatever is bugging you. Now, you get to storm into the house and lay it all out for them. It's better than a phone call, and then you get to go pig out after the rant. Win win situation.

So maybe moving back home isn't ideal. You're away from your friends, and you might be 45 minutes from the city but you get to spend quality time with your parents. It can't be so bad, can it? Thanks mom and dad, ya'll the real MVPs!

Anticipating The End Of Your First Semester, As Told By April Ludgate

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
