Being a college student, and coming home for the summer can be a huge adjustment for parents and students. You go from having absolute freedom for the past seven or more months to that awkward stage of wondering whether you need to ask to go out or if you can just leave...? Or getting used to them telling you to do chores again. It also comes along with the endless struggle of unpacking your stuff. You never realize how much stuff you have until you have to pack it all up and shove it in a car! You may also be the first one home from school out of your friends, so that comes with complete boredom. Add in the fact that you now have to cook your own food instead of eating in the school dining hall and now having to do dishes, and your college life as you know it has been flipped upside down. Here are some common struggles that come with this adjustment, as told through my favorite medium... GIFs.

2. Cooking food

3. Finding things to do

4. Starting a new job
