The Summer BreakSo now Uni has finished until September for us over in the U.K many of us partially educated student's are left in a conumdrum .What the hell is there to do??
Our Brains are filled with the previous years work. Our Livers are Filled with last years continuous consumption of beers ,wines and spirits and our Stomach's are filled with simple effective energetic foods. To put it bluntly we have abused our bodies so much that they need rest and regeneration until they are once again brutally tortured for another year.
To further add discontent to our lives we learn that once we return home to spend the summer with the parents that we have lost our independance and the ways in which we spent the last 9 months living our lives. Mornings now become a daily routine of awaking , 3 set straight meals a day , No alcohol consumption before 5pm and being told how to run your life are just some of the drawbacks that are experianced.
So. you think i" shall do nothing! , Haha clever , i shall just lay on this ground with the sun and fall asleep for a few hours. this should be fun". An idea not to be sniffed at . But as this is the summer there is a certain ball of light called the sun ,which decided to punish you for not using his services of social entertainment for the last 9 months. You spend the next 3 days pink , blistered and in absolute agony , unable to sleep until you're skin peels away and you're still left looking whiter than what you did before you decided to do nothing.
But Summer is not all bad. No sir. This is the time of the Festivals, where to an extent university life is rekindled in a tent! . Simple meals , Lots of alcohol consumption and losing the sense of person. You also fufill some kind of appreciation and achievement by standing 60 rows away from your 4th favorite band and claim the fact that your and the lead singer eyes met for 0.001 seconds and that they showed nothing but love between the two. It may sound as if this is getting back to what you enjoy in life. Then the sun decides it no longer likes festivals and rains , but it rains only like it rains at festivals. Never mind the fact this is summer when its meant to be the driest part of the year. So you end up raving in wellies getting incomphresivel
y wet with half your friends contracting pnemonia and being covered in alot of dirt. Also in the process of all this you lose your phone, wallet, that fit girls phone number you met while you fell over half a dozen times, your spare phone , all the keys you ever had , the only thing you don't lose is the wristband which if you keep for a whole year , you get a crate of cow urine. or otherwise known as stella. So back home you go.
At this point parents will badger you to get a job because as they remind you when they were 19 they worked 140 hours a week for tuppence a week and they are not going to have a freeloader in the house. Now in this economic downturn jobs are very hard to come by. even unskilled manual jobs.But because you are a University student this is 100x harder, Nobody wants to employ you for 3 months, and all the other employers that do dont want in their words "someone who potentially maybe more skilled in the future than i am."
So you lie and get a your job back at that sweedish furniture store that is about as fun with dealing with customers as it is stapling your penis to a wall. but it pay's some form of amount of money which means that your social life may once again revive for days out to the seaside and theme parks and the likes. But once again the carpet is snatched from under your feet and 90% of your pittance wage goes towards the car you have and for some reason now your parents who have decided that you must pay them for you to live with them because "circumstances have now changed"
So thats your summer. This is why so many people enjoy univsersity because you get the chance to do whatever the fcuk you want .
