16 'Bob's Burgers'-ish Thoughts You've Had Working This Summer While Your Friends Are Abroad

This one's for anyone still in America this summer.

One of the great things about going to a university is the amazing number of opportunities to study abroad. But, while traveling to Europe is definitely on my bucket list, this summer I'll be spending my days working, watching "Bob's Burgers"and scrolling through thousands of social media posts featuring cute clothes, tan skin, and European landmarks. Don't get me wrong.

I love seeing the gorgeous pictures you know they planned months before the trip, but I would be lying if I said I didn't have these thoughts every once in a while.

1. “It doesn't matter!" Denying you are stuck working while your friends have the adventure of a lifetime.

Louise Belcher "It doesn't matter!"

2. “I'm fine." And of course, it doesn't bother you at all.

3. “This will either be fun or terrible." Thinking about spending the summer at home.

4. “But ironic detachment is great! Nothing means anything!" Because you're “soooo happy" for them…and not jealous at all.

Gene Belcher

5. “Was it obvious I don't care?" When you're scrolling through the emotional, heart-felt, three paragraph post accompanied by photos of an ambiguous European landscape.

Gene and Tina

6. “I've eaten nine pieces of cake, and I still feel empty." Because no amount of American spaghetti and wine can cure your Italian fever.

7. “The real tragedy is that I don't have time to get nachos before we start." Of course there is a positive — you can eat whatever you want because you won't be needing that “summer body."

8. “Ugh, my heart just pooped its pants." One of the many thoughts you have while looking through Instagram posts of people in Europe.

Tina Belcher, broken heart

9. “Oh. It's okay, I guess I wasn't meant to have a good life." Oh and this one too.

10. “Oh, why don't you go fart in a phone booth!" And this one. Especially if they are in London.

Angry Linda Belcher

11. “Oh, put some mistletoe on my butt and kiss it." When you complain about working instead of traveling and someone says, “Well, I never traveled abroad in college."

Belcher Christmas

12. “Oh, I swear to god, if you keep talking I'm gonna gut punch you." “At least you're making money." Yes, instead of having the SUMMER OF A LIFETIME. Please. Keep talking.

Sassy Louise Belcher

13. “This is taking too long! I need chocolate!" One of the many thoughts you have while working.

Gene Belcher and chocolate

14. “If you need me I'll be down here on the floor dying." Definitely a thought you have after working a 9-5 shift.

Tina Belcher on the floor

15. “My life is more difficult than anyone else's on the planet, and YES, I'm including starving children, so don't ask." And this one too.

Moping Gene Belcher

16. “Summer is awful! There's too much pressure to enjoy yourself!" Finally, maybe the most relatable quote – whether you are traveling or working.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
