The moment that nobody has been waiting for has arrived: one month left of summer. Just a few weeks ago, we were in midst of the season: relaxing, sleeping and blissfully enjoying doing nothing -- feeling that the summer would never end.
We are now being faced with depressing back-to-school commercials, fall clothing ads and the warning of summer shows' season finales. But while the fact that summer's almost over is no doubt a very real #struggle, to make you feel better, here are 49 terrible things that are still somehow worse.
1. Calling someone over to help you fix something that is broken, only to realize that it’s working again when you try to show them what’s wrong.
2. Stupid binder rings not matching up.
3. When people try to pretend that they don’t know the names of boy bands.
