11 Signs You Need to Get Back to College

We all love summer, especially when it means a break from noisy dorms and biology exams. But we all have those times during summer break when we yearn for the never-admit-we-actually-love-it macaroni and cheese at the dining hall and the hot-and-crowded-but-fun campus parties. Here are a few signs that, as great as summer is, you’re looking forward to going back to school.

1. Your house doesn’t satisfy your dietary needs like the local late-night eatery does.

2. Your productivity at your summer job has reached an all-time low.

3. And you realize that having a “real-person job” means getting up early – every morning.

4. You think your fitness routine would benefit from the free boot camp classes offered at the school gym.

5. Your laptop gives you the blue screen of death, and suddenly you really miss that computer science major who lived down the hall from you.

6. Your dance moves are getting a little rusty.


7. As are your social skills.

8. You’ve exhausted all of the new TV shows on Netflix.

9. You’re getting a little old for the things you loved to do at home as a kid.

10. You and your parents need a little space from one another.

11. Just thinking about seeing your friends in the fall makes you feel like this:
