How times have changed... summer *sucks* all of a sudden

Well this past academic was my freshman year of college, and I'm now in the middle of the summer break of course, back in my lazy midwestern hometown, which has never seemed slower coming back from a year of college in a big metropolis. And the number one observation that my college buds and I have all made over this summer is that... summer suddenly really sucks. We're mostly all in withdrawal from the much more active life on campus that we've left behind. As you might gather this is a novel feeling... I mean, back in the K-12 days summers just kicked ass. But this summer... it's like, "Gosh... not doing jack shit ain't as fun as it used to be..." Part of it's also just the fact I'm living with my parents again for a while. And of course, the old cliques from high school in my hometown have dwindled and quite a few people naturally are off on their separate paths.

Yeah... I'm definitely determined to stay on campus in the city next summer.

 

i definitely know how you feel. even though i didnt go to a city for school i still am so bored and miss it. im counting the days where i can have my life back... im sure things might pick up... it was just july fourth... it still has much time to improve. i hope your summer gets better. peace

 

Two words: Road Trip!!

 

road trips, shows, festivals are what are keeping me alive this summer.

 

Hehe, well that's kinda where the 'living with the folks' part contributes to the suckage of this summer, they'd never let me use the car for anything long distance. Financial dependance is the pits.

 

get a job, then a car, then you can be free!

 

wow, i couldn't agree more, sam. i'm going through the exact same thing right now. only, my parents moved to a smaller town and i don't know anyone here. so not only am i stuck with my parents, i have no other choice. AHHHHH!!!! 40 days till i have my own place.
b.t.w. where do you live, maybe we can save each other.
haha

 

Just wait until you graduate and get a job. "Summer, so what?"
