8 Reasons Why I Need Summer

After such long winter months and crazy spring weather, I am ready to take on summer like no other. Anyone who knows me knows that I absolutely love summer and the adventures it brings. Toes in the sand, sun kissed skin, hair gets lighter, and drinks get colder is the best feeling ever.

With classes coming to an end, I am counting down the days till I can head to the beach. After such a stressful semester full of assignments and countless papers, I can't wait to sink my toes in the sand. I know i'm not the only one waiting for some sun rays to turn this pale skin into a much needed tan. With Memorial Day approaching, i'm reminded once again of the wonderful reasons why I love summer and warm weather.

1. No More Classes

One of the best parts of summer is having no more class. No more papers to write or worrying about procrastinating on assignments. The summer days are yours to spend which ever way you want.

2. Late Summer Nights

Is there anyone else who just loves summer nights? I love being able to stay out extra late because you don't really have a care in the world. I love hanging out with great friends on the boardwalk and walking the beach late at night.

3. Fashion

After such a crazy winter and spring, it is finally time to bring out the summer clothing. Most importantly, BATHING SUITS! I must say that it is the best. Shorts, maxi dresses, rompers, and sandals. Need I say more?

4. Major Vitamin D

Being stuck in doors for the past few months does nothing good for our skin. With the weather finally heating up, I can take a towel and bake under the sun. Finally some color to my skin which means I wont have to worry about bronzer or much makeup!

5. Vacation

Summer Vacation is just around the corner. Tropical Islands, beach houses, and majortravel plans happen within the summer months. If your like me, I booked all my vacations months ahead and are counting the days until I leave for vacation.

6. Adventures

I feel that summer is such a careless and freeing season for everyone. My friends are always willing to go on crazy adventures during the summer. Exploring new towns, beaches, and crazy

7. Outdoor Activities

I love being outdoors. I am so glad that with warmer weather I get to spend most of my time outside enjoying nature. Swimming, hiking, paddle boarding, and festivals are some of my favorite things to do in the summer.

8. Summer Food

Am I the only one who loves summer food? Ice cold drinks, ice cream, funnel cake, fried oreos, and tons of fresh fruit. What's summer without all these delicious snacks to munch on while laying out in the sun?

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
