With the job market serving as a daily reminder that The Hunger Games exists in real life, many recent college graduates have turned to the option of moving home after college. There’s a lot of difficulties that come with living with your parents as an adult child but there’s a lot of perks you all of a sudden have that you didn’t in college.
1. Whole Foods. I think this is what Drake meant when he said “Started from the bottom now we here.” Moving back home comes with a serious perk, no more coupon clipping, no more bargain shopping and better yet no more shopping at Fry’s. For the first time in four years you get to shop in the expensive grocery store without calculating how many drinks you could have bought at the bar. See ya Ramen, it’s been real.
2. Personal DD. Sure you might have been on a first name basis and known that your cab driver went to a John Mayer concert alone but nothing beats being dropped off at the bars in your Mom’s mini van. Parents are programmed to worry about their kids drunken shenanigans so they feel guilty enough to pick you up at 2 A.M and best of all? It’s free…you know, besides the whole waking up in the morning wondering what drunken confessions you told them in the car ride home but even that’ll blow over in a day or two.
3. DVR. How I stayed up to date on all of the daily events going on in the world in college I just don’t know…and by daily events I mean the latest feud between The Real Housewives. DVR is like brand name cereal, you don’t need it but once you’ve tasted the good life, you can’t imagine life without it.
4. In House Laundromat. When you’re spending your days catching up on all the TV shows you didn’t get to see in college because you didn’t have DVR while simultaneously stalking LinkedIn job openings how could you really be expected to do your own laundry? It’s really amazing how much more Netflix you can get in when you aren’t folding your jeans.
Sure you may have to put up with driving your younger siblings around and your parents being overly interested in your love life but with perks like these who wants to leave?
