Summer season is the best season. Summer is the time to let go of all your worries and leave the past year of college stress behind. For me, summer means being able to visit my mom in Florida and spending quality time with the rest of my family, friends, and boyfriend here in New York. Summer is a chance to explore and experience things you haven't before. It's an opportunity to move past the regular activities that your everyday life encompasses. Summer is the time to relax and lounge with a watermelon smoothie in hand and enjoy the next few months of great company and weather before you find yourself back on your college campus, swamped with work. Don't let the summer season run right by you--appreciate and enjoy it! But just in case you're running out of things to do this summer, here are ten great summer activities my boyfriend and I have come up with!

1. Skydiving

Have you ever heard of facing your fears? Skydiving might be scary, but how many people do you know who can say they have done something like this? Not many! So be one of the first of your friends to experience this exhilarating fall!

2. Shark cage diving

Sharks really aren't that bad--no really, they aren't. They're just misunderstood. And they feel around with their mouth, unlike us humans, so if you do go shark cage diving, just stay in the cage!

3. Festivals

Festivals are a great way to spend time with your friends by listening to music, dancing, and feeling the energy coming from crowds of people! You might have a hard time finding them or easily lose them once you're already there, but the lively and energetic experience of a music or dance festival will be worthwhile.

4. Pool parties

Swim your worries away by throwing a pool party or going to one! Don't forget beach balls, tanning oils, drinks, games, and music to add to a perfect day in the sun!

5. BBQs

You can't buy happiness, but you can BBQ. And that's kind of the same thing.

6. Beach days

Life is always better at the beach. A day at the beach is about enjoying perfect tans, beach sand, day walks, and night talks.

7. Traveling

We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us. Traveling allows you to experience things that you have never been around before--different foods, cultures, and histories. Being a traveler is beautiful. It allows you to create adventure and explore the world.

8. Off-roading

Off-roading is a perfect summertime activity! It's not something I see people doing every day, and it'll give you a thrill you won't forget--especially if you're in the driver's seat!

9. Theme parks

Theme parks are filled with great things: rides, photo booths, kettle corn, and churros! Everything anyone would want on a perfect summer day!

10. The Great Outdoors

Spending time with your loved ones in the outdoors is a chance to create unforgettable memories. There are endless activities to do in the outdoors: kayaking, canoeing, fishing, hiking, camping, and sitting around a campfire! Sharing any of these moments with your family and friends is a great way to spend this summer.

Here are just 10 Summer activities that we have come up for you guys, and we are sure there are plenty more. But no matter which activity you choose or love the most, do something out of your comfort zone, experience something new, or go on an adventure. Don't let this summer become another one of the same old summers from the past. Make it one to remember; make it one to live by!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
