Reasons We Don't Want To Come Home From College

Home is where the heart is... I guess?

Reasons We Don't Want To Come Home From College

For some, college is the worst, and at the end of the semester you can not wait to get home. But for most college kids, you're home is at school. Obviously no one actually wants to deal with the "school" part of being in college, but we all love the fact that we are surrounded by our best friends and are free to be whoever we want. No parents and no rules. Don't get me wrong, I love my parents (they're great) but, I could definitely do without the rules.

1. I don't want to work.

Even though I am bored out of my mind, I would rather be doing anything other than working...like anything.

2. I don't want chores.

The world's worst phrase, " You need to do your part in this family."

3. All my friends are at school.

Let's be real, you are probably not friends with many of the people you were friends with in high school. That's okay. It just means that you're going to have a really boring summer alone and missing your friends from college.

4. My hometown is boring.

No matter where for are from, you have spent 18 years there and you are over it. You have sucked up anything your town has to offer, and now you are bored.

5. Rules aren't fun.

There aren't any rules at school, so you have been doing your own thing for months but now you have to remember what a curfew is. Uh oh...

6. You get bothered for taking naps.

No mom, I a not sick. I am just tired and bored.

7. You have to be productive on the days you don't work.

Apparently we are not spending our day wisely if we just lounge around the house all day. P.S your parents are lying to you. They are just jealous they can't binge watch Netflix all day.

8. Our parents judge our every move.

Mom, sometimes I just want to eat col pizza at midnight and go to Cookout at 2 a.m... There is no concept of time in college.

9. I hate having to know what I am doing in a week.

I don't like thinking about the future, whether it is tomorrow, next week, or in two years... My brain just doesn't like to plan.

10. I just want to travel and be with friends.

But this thing called parents and money get in the way...

Well, the reality is that we have to go home, and deep,deep down we are glad to be home. At least at home we don't have to take showers with flip flops on, there is free laundry, and our parents buy our groceries for us. SCORE. So no matter how may reasons you have for not wanting to g home this summer, there is no place like home.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. 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.

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.

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.
