10 Reasons You're Excited To Spend Summer In Burlington

May 18, 2016

You may have thought that Burlington was amazing throughout the school year, but imagine getting to spend time in Burlington without having to take classes. And even if you are taking classes up here this summer, you still will have more free time than you did during the regular school year. As my first summer in the city I love most approaches, here's a list of things I'm most excited for.

1. Adventuring

There are so many places to explore in Vermont. Think of all of the watering holes, hikes, and cliff jumping spots you have yet to go to!

2. Creemees

There is nothing better than a black raspberry, maple twist creemee. If I do not have this in my hand at least once a week I will not be a happy camper.

3. Friends

I have to say, I'm kind of excited that my closest friends won't be up here this summer, just because I will be able to hang out with so many different friends who will be here.

4. Beach bonfires

I can't tell you how much I love the smell of bonfire.

5. Living in your own apartment

Cooking my own meals, having a big living space, living with my friends, independence. What could be better?

6. Farmer's Market

A Saturday ritual. Great food and great people!

7. Sunsets

There literally is nothing more beautiful than a summer sunset at the waterfront. C'mon, you can't tell me this isn't beautiful!

8. Beachin'

Just trying to keep that tan all summer long.

9. The Burlington Bike Path

Not only is it great for biking, but also for running. The view along the way makes it so easy to exercise.

10. A Change in Scenery

I'm so used to summer at home, so not being stuck in the same routine this year will be nice. It will be my first real step toward adulthood, as I won't be living with my parents for an extended period of time this year.

So cheers to this summer in Burlington! Let's make it the best one yet!

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one.

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
