You have survived another year. Finals week is over, the stress of classes has been lifted off your shoulders, all that is left is to pack up your dorm and head home for summer. Here are some thoughts you’ll probably have.

When you arrive home and have to make it known to everyone that you are back.


You can’t wait to see your family again and catch up with what’s going on in their lives and share with them all the exciting things you’ve done while you away at college.You'll never admit it to them that you missed them, but let's be honest you did and are excited to spend the summer with them. At first it will be a little weird because you've been gone awhile but you'll adjust back quickly, just like you never left.

.

You’ll realize how much you missed your mom’s cooking

.

You won’t be able to get enough before you have to leave it to go back the university's cafeteria food or late night taco bell runs. You'll probably gain an extra 10 pounds from your mom fattening you up this summer.

You won't want to leave your own bed every again.

You will probably spend half your summer here catching up on sleep from all those all-nighters.

Get as much sleep while you can, because you know when classes start you won't be getting any.

Seeing your old friends in the grocery store will make you remember old times.


You’ll probably ask them what’s new in their life and how their college life was like. You'll make plans to hang out this summer like you guys used to, and take over the town once again. You'll show those high school kids, that thought they did while you were gone, that you're back and was here first.

Realizing you have no money and have to start looking for a summer job.


You might want to start saving up money for when you back to college. You’ll probably be able to bum money off your parents for a while but eventually they'll tell you to get a job. Try getting an outside job so you can still enjoy the sun and work on your tan, like a lifeguard at the local pool.


Seeing your ex around town.


Oh yes you probably forgot about him coming home. If you ant to make him jealous start talking about your amazing new boyfriend at college or you can get the dark sunglasses and hood ready or find the nearest bush. If you're lucky he might not even remember you, but you probably won't be. Good luck.

When you start missing your friends at college


Your late night food runs, study sessions, and movie nights. You would do anything to be back with you main girls right now. Don't worry you don't have much longer to go till you see them again.

Then summer finally comes to a close and you couldn’t be happier to back in your college town and take on another year.


Finally you're reunited with your friends and you're ready to take on another year of all-nighters, taco bell runs, and dreaded classes. At least until summer when you head back to your hometown once again.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
