A summer resolution is like a New Year's resolution but is made at the beginning of the summer. These usually involve leisure activities such as golfing, boating, camping, or fishing, but may also include tasks around the house such as landscaping, roofing, or gardening. Unlike New Year's resolutions, these often do not succeed due to a simple lack of enough time. People often realize they have not succeeded around the 4th of July.
My summer resolutions were to golf and fish more. It is now the 4th of July and I have not done either one yet!

The current crop of adults born from about 1975 to 1991. The term Boomerang Generation came from the fact that they move back in after graduating from college. This often occurs because they have spent a small fortune in college and cannot even afford to interview, let alone move to another town that has a good job. They are sometimes stuck working menial jobs that are insulting to their intelligence and qualifications. The down side to the Boomerang Generation, is that people in this age bracket will often move home with any minor setback. This is often condoned by parents and is evidence that we as a society have been prolonging adolescence.
