12 Stages Of Coming Home For Summer

After a hard nine months of school work, late nights, studying, dining hall food, dorm showers and crazy late night adventures, the school year is finally over, and we're finally home. But it doesn't mean that coming home is a walk in the park. Our sleep schedule's are out of whack, we're used to leaving our clothes all over the floor and not having anyone yell at us for it, not having curfew or anyone to answer to. But coming home also means we get to spend time with our high school friends, roam around all the old places we used to spend all of our time at, spend time with our family, and do all the sleeping, resting and Netflix watching that we want. So, here are the 12 stages of coming home for the summer from school.

1. I can't wait to be home with shoe-less showers, no homework and all day to watch Netflix without headphones -- because no roommate.


2. My first meal in too long that isn't dining hall food? This is amazing.


3. Wow, first Monday in too long that I don't have to set an alarm to get up for my 8:30 a.m.

4. Look at all of this homework I don't have, studying I don't have to do, and tests I don't have to take.

5. And all of this free time? This is amazing.

6. Wait, but what else can I do besides watch Netflix and sleep all day?

7. Oh, so I just have to sit here on Friday nights?

8. "Room -- oh, wait there isn't someone 10 feet from me anymore."

9. Oh, eating Insomnia cookies at 2 a.m. isn't allowed at home. That's OK, I guess.



10. High school friends are great, but what happened to all my college friends?

11. Alright, seriously, what else can I do at home? College, I miss you.

12. How many days till I can go back?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
