Thirteen Reasons College Students Can’t Wait For The Summer

You're on the final countdown. There's just weeks to go until you'll leave the exam hall, take a deep breath and throw your face up to the sun. Well, that's what goes down in an ideal world.

You'll actually probably run from the hall, disintegrating note papers held over your head in a feeble attempt to prevent yourself from getting drenched, straight towards the far-too-packed student bar for a nice cold pint.

Meandering thoughts of the final exam aside, here are the 14 things college students are most looking forward to this summer...

1. Lie-ins...

Oh wait, we had a few of those in college.

2. Night outs...

See above.

3. Sleazy Two Week-er Abroad

Or if you're lucky or loaded enough to have a J1 or an Inter-railing trip planned, we're all very jealous.

This could be YOU.... 

4. No More Deadlines

Your diaries/iPhone calendars/heads are completely clear! Yahoo!

5. Mammy's Cooking/Cleaning/Fussing In General

There's nothing like being back in mammy/daddy's care. You won't have to look at Koka noodles for the summer, there will ALWAYS be toilet paper available at hand and your bedsheets will be washed more than once every four months.

The typical Irish mammy. Or?

6. No More Lectures

Enough said.

7. Eight Hours Sleep Required

You might actually get this at home.

8. Friends At Home

If you live away for college, you might get to spend a few weeks with those people you grew up with. Remember them?

9. Bonfire Of Books

"We always say we'll do it, but we never actually do... this year? We definitely will."

Look how satisfying this could be... 

10. A Sunny Day

Note the singular noun. You'll spend the summer holding out for that one sunny day.

11. Day Trips

They're only the best call ever.

12. Smell Of Fresh-Cut Grass

We're trying to be poignant here .

13. Waking Up With Nothing To Do

Probably, possibly the best feeling ever.
