d\u00a0relatable 21\u00a0struggles of moving back in with your parents after college. While the article addresses recent grads it definitely relates to what you may or may not be feeling after your first year or even after that. Remember Warhawk Fitness is more then being physically fit, so we also care about how you\u2019re doing mentally!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll highlight a few that I find most relevant for our Warhawk lifestyle!<\/p>\n

- Spending all day in bed in your pants watching Netflix no longer constitutes a valid use of time. <\/strong>But seriously! Who hasn\u2019t had that week or two where dropping out of school hasn\u2019t been a constant thought so you decided to \u201cwisely\u201d use your time and watch Netflix. Obviously you haven\u2019t decided to drop out otherwise instead of reading this AWESOME blog, you\u2019d be working at McDonalds. (Which in some cases is totally respectable, and responsible) But for some reasons parents don\u2019t find this to be a valid use of time, maybe they need to go (for some, back) through college and remember how terrible some weeks are.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

- Rather than house parties and day drinking you end up spending your weekends doing parent-y activities.<\/strong> Ah, the days of Spring Splash, St. Pattys, and that random nice week of day drinking are long past. You suddenly find yourself mowing the lawn or pulling weeds. Remember to actual try and find the enjoyment in these activities, while it may seem harder then initially thought, just enjoy the family aspect!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

- You\u2019ll probably get obsessed with whatever TV shows your parents like. <\/strong>For me, my guilty pleasure will always be, Grey\u2019s Anatomy. First year back after freshman year, I found myself binge watching Grey\u2019s with my mother after she was done with work. My mother is also a professor, so her and I binge watched the show quite often.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

- And you\u2019ll actually miss them a lot when you move out. <\/strong>While school was fun and a time you\u2019ll never forget, you will always miss your family. You\u2019ve been through hell and back with them, and even through all your mess ups throughout college, they\u2019ve never been anything but understanding. Take this moment to shoot them a quick text and just thank them for everything they\u2019ve done.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

College is everything you make it, but for some of us we have to return home and get back to our roots after a year or two, or for some after graduation. Understand that everyone goes through these times that often, for a lack of better word, suck. We ALL have those times. Making sure we mentally prepare ourselves is crucial. While often times mental health gets overlooked for the physically fit side, Warhawk Fitness values it just as much as wanting to get \u201cshredded, or jacked\u201d<\/p>\n
My last words for you before you all return home or start that job is to simply remember all the great times you\u2019ve had during the year, and never take them for granted, things change, but the memories don\u2019t.<\/p>\n
\u201cSuccess is a journey but we treat it like a place and it doesn\u2019t make sense if you don\u2019t you enjoy the ride.\u201d<\/p>\n
