13 Reasons Why the First Summer After College Blows

Flickr

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. ❤️

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

University of Southern California

4373

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

1791

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
