The 10 Stages Of Missing Your College Friends Over Summer Break
John Reinbott

The friends you make in college are quite possibly some of the most amazing, supportive and fantastic people that you will ever meet and have in your life (besides, of course, your awesome friends back home). You go from complete and total strangers who just so happen to be in the same major or living on the same floor to a group that could never be separated.

These people are always there for you whether they're helping you get through another mental breakdown or celebrating the fact that you just passed an exam. Despite how much you may not be able to stand college, the moment you leave campus for summer break you can't wait to come back to see your friends again. Here are the ten stages that all college students go through when they're missing their friends over summer break.

1. You miss them the moment you leave campus to head back home


I know I just spent the past three weeks complaining about how much I hate my school but can we go back now?

2. You constantly feel like your day is lacking something


What's the point of getting up every day if I'm not in a dorm where I can walk two feet and be surrounded by all my friends?

3. You find yourself texting them and giving them updates on a daily basis


Update: Just pooped, heading to Walmart to buy food and then taking a nap.

4. You tell your inside jokes to your friends back home


And it is extremely uncomfortable and awkward because no one knows what you're talking about since they don't go to school with you.

5. You set up a weekly Skype-date session


...which primarily consists of you watching one another eat.

6. You start a countdown until you get to see each other again


Three months, five days, eighteen hours and three seconds.

7. You make a list of everything you're going to do once you're reunited


Yes, I know we're broke, but we're going to do this, this and this.

8. You talk about how you wish you didn't live so far apart


If I could I would make my parents move so we could be neighbors.

9. You miss going on adventures with them


Your favorite sports, outdoor activities and spontaneous trips will never be the same without them.

10. You book it across campus to find them once you get back


If only we could run like this when we're at the gym. I've missed you so much.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
