It's finally summer which means that most of us college folk head back home for the summer. Arriving home after being away for a few weeks/months makes you miss home but that feeling might change fairly quickly once you get settled in back home.

1. Your Mom

Giphy

Most moms act like they haven't seen you since she gave birth to you, when in reality its only been like 2 weeks.

2. Your Dad

Giphy

I bet while you were away furthering your education, your dad had the time to come up with a bunch of jokes about how much money it's costing him. "I think I might buy you a new car....HA just kidding! College is costing me enough" ~ Dad

3. Your sibling

Giphy

If they are younger then they probably aren't too happy that you're back and they are no longer the only child.

4. Your hometown best-friend

Giphy

If you and your best-friend don't go to school near each other then you can relate. You're not sure how you've lasted this long without them but you somehow managed.

5. Your Dog

Giphy

Let's be honest, your dog is probably the most excited to see you. They knew FOR SURE that you were never coming back.

6. Your Cat

Giphy

Again, let's be honest here, your cat is probably the least excited to see you. Actually tbh they probably didn't even realize that you were gone.

7. Your Boss

Giphy

I bet when your boss found out you were in town for a few months that they knew you would call them up for a few shifts and they can't wait to have an extra minion around for a little while.

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.

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.
