Summer Breaks During College Are Best Spent Watching Netflix And Messing Up Your Sleep Schedule

Real Life: Summer Daily Routine
Marisa Sobotka

When school is finally ending and we are all let out for the summer, we always start with so many plans. We want to take a road trip with friends, go to the drive-in, get breakfast at midnight or even take a beach day. These are all very intriguing in thought, but let's be real, we barely do half of those things. Most of our summer is spent wandering around our own homes until we are forced to leave for work or some type of responsibility. Summer would be the ideal time to put yourself out there, but how can we do that when our bed is constantly calling our name? Here is the real daily life of a college student home for the summer.

Wake up somewhere between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. because who needs mornings?

Brush your teeth and continue the day in your pajamas, nobody to impress here.

Wander around your house and realize your family is gone and doing things with their life and you’re alone.


You end up in the kitchen and have a very hard time deciding on whether to eat breakfast or lunch - so you settle on Doritos.

You end up back in your bed and watch Netflix for a longer time than you mean to.

You scroll through your phone for the next hour and decide whether or not you have the energy to make plans.


You decide to give it a try, but making plans turns out to be too complicated.


Throw on sweats and head to Chipotle to get dinner to go.

Throw yourself back into bed and spend the rest of the night there.

Try to convince yourself that you should go to bed and get an early start and be productive tomorrow.

Stay up until 3 a.m. doing absolutely nothing and wake up the next day to repeat the cycle.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
