How to Survive Being Home for the summer - Being home from college in the summer - ew & pt

Whenever I’m home from college for the summer I encounter a lot of dilemmas:

  1. I now have to answer to my parents and they want to know where I am whereas, in college, I could be wherever whenever and only had to call them once a week.
  2. I’m away from all of my close proximity college friends and am given a huge expanse of free time.
  3. I spend way more money than I did while I was in college. Who knew ice cream and shopping trips could add up so quickly?!
  4. I’m so freaking bored and have endless amounts of time and nothing to do with it and thus fall into a bottomless pit of unproductiveness.

I know, I just spooked you for the summer. You’ve got a sense of dread that used to just be joy because finals are almost over. It’s okay, though! Being home for the summer isn’t a bad thing, but it will take some adjusting. Here’s how to survive being home for the summer without losing your sanity and productivity.

How to Deal with FOMO In College

How to Deal with FOMO In College - Dealing with FOMO in college // eyeliner wings & pretty things

It’s a Thursday night and nothing in the world sounds more appealing than putting pajamas on and lying in your bed to watch re-runs of Friends. It’s Friday night and nothing sounds as awful as sitting in to write your Psych paper but it’s due tomorrow morning and you simply have to get it done. Meanwhile, social excursions and hangouts galore are happening around you. It seems like everyone except you is doing something exciting or being social.

Sometimes you just want or need to stay in and the sounds and sights of everyone else is distracting and causes a sinking feeling that you’re missing out.
