Everybody waits for Summertime : the heat, the sun, holidays, the beach, friends, cocktails… nothing sounds better, right? And every Summer, it is the same thing: we have our go-to places to have breakfast\/ coffee, our favourite places where to go on holidays, the friends we want to catch-up \u00a0with… or we just go for a summer of excess filled with partying and quickly-made-oh-so-quickly-regretted decisions. This article does not encourage you to follow any particular behaviour, and is entirely based on personal knowledge.<\/p>\n
Here are 10 common Summer habits every student picks up.<\/p>\n
Looking for a summer job becomes a habit pretty soon into your student life – and a rather healthy one for a change. You desperately want to become independent and buy whatever you like, or sponsor the project you want. You have 3 months to be completely free: working usually gives you the opportunity to travel, which is always a plus as you get to share your experience when you go back to class in September.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re a student, partying becomes routine – You go out, you socialise, you mingle. Whether it is a house party, a pool party or simply ANY party, you deserve to enjoy yourself after those trying and tiring exams. And fortunately-or unfortunately- you don\u2019t need advice to do that.<\/p>\n
Suddenly, when the academic year is over, you discover that you don\u2019t like those healthy snacks that kept you going when you were revising. You want ice-cream, you want chicken nuggets and all that kind of stuff. So much for that beach body…<\/p>\n
Do you know the phrase \u2018I don\u2019t always drink. I only drink when I want, which is all the time\u2019? Well, here you go. You end up going to parties and being drunk a lot during summertime. Whether you go to a festival, a gig, party with friends, you end up in that state of ultimate hangover. But you\u2019ll always have that voice in your head that will tell you: \u2018 enjoy yourself, it\u2019s Summer\u2019.<\/p>\n
The best music festivals take place during summertime. You usually want to go somewhere nice, but sometimes you can\u2019t afford it as a student. Going to a \u00a0music festival is a great alternative.<\/p>\n
\n
You completely overlook your bedtime routine: you don\u2019t get your recommended 8 hours of sleep per night, and you are the best version of a walking-dead. Your eyes are red, but it\u2019s holidays, so who cares?<\/p>\n
You feel lazy and you don\u2019t want to cook. So, you resort to the best thing after the invention of Netflix, that is Deliveroo. You order your favourite meals, all accompanied by some fresh and icey Coca Cola.<\/p>\n
Every student goes through that phase of experimenting with friends – one act follows another, and you end up completely stoned. Same as drinking alcohol and sipping on Cosmopolitans, you end up smoking and indulging into some soft form of drug use. A fact needs to be highlighted though: not everybody wants or has tried drugs, and it is entirely a personal choice.<\/p>\n
With Summer, you mingle, especially if you are single. But even if you are in a couple, some cannot help themselves and give into the desire of the moment. After being studious and serious all year, some see it as a form of liberation and freedom. Just know that all of your acts have consequences, and that sometimes what happens in Vegas does not always stay in Vegas, if you know what I mean…<\/p>\n
Going abroad can become quite a tradition for some people. Some go and visit their families, some just want to go to the beach…in any case, going abroad and discovering a new language, a new culture and different people is very enriching and can turn a boring summer into a powerful and intense experience.<\/p>\n
