Going Home For The Summer, As Told By New Girl

It's only depressing until you don't have to pay rent.

Going Home For The Summer, As Told By New Girl
Princesa da Preguica

Ah, summer. The only people who enjoy summer more than high school students are college students. Finally we get to pack up our dorms and say goodbye to exams, finals, and ridiculous term papers for three glorious months of nothing (unless you take summer classes, and if so, bless your soul). So here's your summer vacation, as summed up by the show New Girl.

When you see high schoolers driving around town


But then you realize they are judging you for moving back in with your parents


Then you get home and have to explain your car's contents to your parents


You start out trying to pretend you don't drink


But then you try to innocently order your first drink in front of your parents


And you feel so guilty for pretending you haven't drank before


But by the end of summer you really stop caring what they think


So you spend your summer doing nothing


But then you realize you need a job


When really you don't want to work at all


You realize all your friends are studying abroad or doing really cool internships


And you start losing touch with the world


Your parents try to relate to make you feel better about living at home


But you secretly love not having roommates


And you know you couldn't survive on your own


...And you really enjoy the free groceries


So you accept your fate


Before you know it, it's time to go back to school


And then your friends ask what you did with your summer

Yup, sounds about right, Winston.

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!

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.
