Six weeks into summer and I've got to say... holy cow, I miss Boro. I miss how the air sometimes reeks of manure, the cute relationship goals with ducks and their babies and I miss living with my best friends and walking to White House on a Friday night.

The first summer after college sucks, here's why:

1. Your friends complain about how they haven't seen you in forever.

SORRY THAT YOU LIVE A BILLION MILES AWAY.

2. Your college professors ask why your summer assignment is late.

S U M M E R. V A C A T I O N. Say it with me.

3. If you’re like me, you spent your entire meal plan plumping up for the winter, so summer body goals only exist if your goal is a small beached whale.

My fat rolls bring all the boys to the yard.

4. You managed to come home with more crap than when you left…

"But dad, I REALLY needed all 4 of those sweaters in different colors!"

5. You try to get your old job back but...

Guess working breaks don't count...Do they Tommy?

6. Your college lingo hasn't hit your hometown yet.

"WTF does "lit" even mean???" - Mom

7. Your parents offer you alcohol and you have to act like you don’t know anything about it what-so-ever…

PFT.. Alcohol? Wat is dat?

8. Running into old high school “friends” and having to act happy to see them the whole time.

You blacked out every weekend and joined a sorority? OMG no way, so did the majority of our graduating class!

9. Getting rejected from the 5th job you applied for…

*feels entitles to a higher paying job because she has 33 college credits*

10. When your parents still make you have a curfew and you can’t fight it.

"But Daddddddddd, you threw off my college groove!!!"

11. Realizing that there's still time to get in shape for that beach vacation coming up.

You can get a six-pack in two weeks right? Asking for a friend.

12. But, old habits die hard...

Damn you, John's pizza. You delicious devil, you.

13. Realizing that you miss everything about college and you can’t wait to reunite with your squad.

Boro friends, I miss you. 10 more weeks until we're getting rowdy and having the time of our lives. ❤️

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.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

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.
