10 Things To Do Before Going Back To School
Brinkley Walser Stoner

It's finally August, and school is coming faster than we know it. After spending a lazy summer, we don't always get to do everything we want to before it ends. So, here are 8 awesome, cheap, and fun things to do before you go back to school!

1. Have a get together with your friends!

It's always fun to be with your friends, or even watching Friends on Netflix with friends. You can go out for a movie, laser tag, dinner, or whatever you want! Don't forget to capture your memories with a group photo!

2. Go for a pool day...

Summer can be very hot, so why not cool down before school begins? Either go somewhere in town, or go swimming in your backyard. You can pack a delicious lunch to go with your day and bring your friends to tag along!

3. And get super tanned!

Being pale and fair is good too, but who doesn't want to be tan for the next school year? If you have any farmer tan lines, then now is the best time to get rid of them! Don't forget sunscreen!

4. Get something sweet!

Go out and get your final ice cream cone, frozen yogurt, or anything you desire! As long as it is sweet and you're not watching your weight, then all is good! Right?

5. If you've been working all summer, then you may want to get a massage.

Ahh...a massage. A great way to relax and to become a new person for the school year. Get those knots out before more come your way!

6. You may want to start getting school supplies.

I know, you probably don't want to think about it yet, but school is coming close! Make sure you know what you need with all your favorite color(s) and designs before they all run out!

7. Then maybe a new wardrobe!

Who doesn't love shopping? I know I do! Why not go back to school with your sweet tan and new awesome clothes? Maybe your style has changed since last year...you never know till you go!

8. Get people together and have a bonfire.

Bonfires are the best gatherings throughout the summer, so why not plan one yourself? Get people you know together and celebrate with food, games, and s'mores!

9. A marathon movie night!

When school comes, you probably won't be staying up as much, right? So find your favorite movies or series and enjoy a night of entertainment for free! You don't have your favorite movies, then I suggest your local library, Netflix, or if your cable, movies on demand.

10. Don't forget to have a family night though.

For students who are going to back to college far away, I especially suggest for you to have a family night. Play games, make a meal together or go out for dinner, or do any activities you love doing as a family. You'll definitely miss them, so be with them as much as you can!

Enjoy the rest of your summer and good luck for the next school year!

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
