1. Your friends are falling in love in front of the Eiffel Tower and you're still swiping away on Tinder.
Ugh, I'm so happy for you.
2. While your friends are swimming with turtles, you're searching wanderlust images online.

Excuse me while I eat, pray, cry.

6. They're drinking fine wine, and you're drinking from a box.
7. When you ask them how they like Barcelona, they'll make sure to correct your pronunciation.
So what if you've taken Spanish for years? Your friends have been there for three weeks and know everything.
8. They're clubbing in Europe, while you're spilling your beer all over yourself at the local dive bar.
9. They're drinking exotic and delicious coffee, and you're stuck drinking something that tastes like dirt.

14. Their profile pictures showcase how *wonderful* of a person they are, while yours is still an awkward duck face.
15. They're communicating with their parents via postcard, and you're stuck having uncomfortable text conversations with your dad .

At least there's Sprite, right?
17. While your friends are going down natural water slides in Puerto Rico, you're picking up an extra shift to pay for your water bill.
18. They're mesmerized by crazy skylines, and you're just watching dudes play frisbee in the quad.

20. They're taking a gelato making class, and you're taking O Chem.
21. They're doing exciting things with their new friends, and you're still paying more attention to your phone while at dinner with your old ones.
You love the friends you have at school, but you can't help but feel a little envious that your friends abroad are meeting people from around the world.
But no matter how annoying they are, you're still so happy to see them when they return.
