This summer has been anti-climatic to say the least. I'm not sure exactly what I expected to come home to after being at school the whole year, but it wasn't this. Everything at home just seems so boring and drab. At school I was constantly surrounded by my friends and was always occupied whether it be just hanging out and watching a movie or doing school work. Now that I'm at home, I'm bored out of my mind. I've already watched three full seasons of TV shows on Netflix, planned my future wedding on Pinterest, cleaned both my closet and my room and taken an unhealthy amount of naps. I'm pretty much going stir crazy when I don't have work.
Throughout the school year I kept in constant contact with my friends. Even if it was just a quick "hi i miss you!" text, it was better than nothing. I was so excited to see them on all of our breaks. My school has extremely short breaks (due to the fact that we start in September and get out in April). During every break we talked about how we couldn't wait for it to be summer.
But now its summer and all I want to do is be back at school. The beginning of summer wasn't bad. I was with my friends a lot tanning, watching movies, going out to dinner and having small "parties". I put parties in quotes because anything you do socially with your friends from home during the summer isn't a real party compared to what you did at school. And the "parties" quickly died down once everyone realized how boring standing in someone's basement was. Especially when we had to figure out DD's and our parents wanted us home by 1 o'clock. It was like all the fun and freedom we had gained in college had been ripped right out from under us.
Obviously I'm still with my friends quite often, but we usually just go to dinner and then hang out at someone's house. And with everyone's different work schedules and summer plans, its hard to find a day or night when everyone's available. I definitely thought I would be entertained every second of every day, but I'm sadly disappointed in the amount of time I spend sitting on my ass at home with my parents. As much as I love my home friends I'm anxiously awaiting August 26th so I can finally be back at school!
