"  Can you believe it? Summer is almost here. It&amp;#039;s about time to start packing up all of your Liam Hemsworth posters (guilty) and Tupperwares full of ramen and jump in your parentals&amp;#039; SUV to head home for the entire summer. At first it feels exciting - rushing home to all of your high school soul mates - and then you quickly realize that going home means no more late night pillow talks with your roommate (while freely consuming Dove chocolate at midnight).  There are good things and bad things about the transition from 8 by 12 dorm room to spacious home sweet home. Here, we dissect them all. Pro: Mom&amp;#039;s Cooking - What is it about being away from home for so long that makes whatever mom is cooking the absolute cat&amp;#039;s meow? Oh yeah, that nasty cafeteria food. Duh. Con: No More Frozen Yogurt Bar - Sure, mom&amp;#039;s lasagna is like a gift from heaven, but what about after dinner? How are you ever going to survive without the unlimited fro yo and all those delectable toppings? What? Mom&amp;#039;s got fresh fruit in the fridge? Boring.  Pro: A bathroom, all to yourself. - This one says it all: no flip flop/shower caddy-accompanied showers for three whole months. And you can do your business without worrying who&amp;#039;s in the next stall? Heaven. Con: Living on someone else&amp;#039;s schedule - Gone are the days when you can stay up until 4 and sleep until 1, just because you feel like it. Now you&amp;#039;ve got some other (older) people to consider who want you home by midnight and start banging dishes and vacuuming at the ripe hour of 9 a.m. on a Saturday.  Pro: Lots of alone time. - It&amp;#039;s really wonderful at home, because you can finally experience what silence sounds like again. Which is nothing. And it&amp;#039;s amazing. Con: Too much alone time. - Without the roomies around, who can you watch TV with? LOL about TFLN with? Share clothes with? Lay around and talk about nothing but boys with? Yeah, going home isn&amp;#039;t totally perfect, but there is one great thing about it that no one can take away: it gets you even more excited to head back to campus in the fall and get back into that glorious college world you&amp;#039;ve missed so much.
