Growing up in Southern California, we didn’t spend our summers at sleep away camp. Instead, we whiled away the humid days at OMG Kill Me I’m So Bored camp, conveniently located in all of our bedrooms. But, that doesn’t mean that you can’t regale your friends with tales of how you spent your time away from school…it just might be less than truthful.
To Your Parents
She said: My savings? Oh, um, yeah I totally socked away all my tips and paychecks from the summer. Tooooootally did that.
She meant: If you hadn’t made me get the worst job ever waitressing at Johnny Rockets, I might not have felt so compelled to blow all my money after work just to help erase the misery from working. So really it’s your fault that I’m going to run up your credit card this year.
To Your Boyfriend
She said: Eh I don’t know, I’m kind of bummed to quit lifeguarding. But at least we’ll see each other every day again!
She meant: My hot coworker is going back to Yale 
So whatever, I guess I like you again.
To Your Teacher
She said: Mrs. Mayer of course I’m prepared for AP English! Why, I spent all summer reading the classics!
She meant: Does Us Weekly count as a classic? Because the only way I’ll ace the summer reading quiz is if it’s centered solely around Miley and Liam.
To Your Frenemy
She said: Oh ha yeah I just got back from Miami–I went with my older sister, who is in college, and her friend and we ended up at the Fontainbleu with Dave Franco, NBD.
She meant: I bought a spray tan on Lifebooker and spent watched 21 Jump Street a total of 11 times. I counted.
To Your Dorky Neighbor Who’s Always Awkwardly Hitting On You
She said: Didn’t you hear? I found Jesus this summer and reclaimed my virginity. Just me and the big JC–all the love I need at the moment!
She meant: Well, I did OnDemand John Carter–and that’s technically a JC so really, it’s not a total lie. Now leave me alone.
To Your BFF
She said: Jules, I seriously can’t believe another summer went by and we still didn’t do Pilates everyday like we said we were going to.
She meant: What’s that, Jules? You say I’m already in such good shape that in no way would I need to have spent this summer at the gym working off the blubber I gained emotional eating after Connor dumped me before Prom? Aww I heart you!
What are you going to tell people you did this summer? Did you really do it? Tell me the truth in the comments!
