Whenever I’m home from college for the summer I encounter a lot of dilemmas:
- 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.
- I’m away from all of my close proximity college friends and am given a huge expanse of free time.
- 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?!
- 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.
