10 Things You Need To Do This Summer.

Summer is here! The weather is warm, the pools are open, and the days are longer. This means you can have more day light to make a ton of activities. Everyone needs a list of things to do every summer. But this summer you should really try to spice things up a little bit. So why don't you try some of these awesome things before the summer ends.

1. Unplug yourself and connect with your family and friends.

Go at least one day without technology. Trust me it is going to feel awesome.

2. Go find the nearest body of water.

Water is a source of life.

3. Go for a picnic.

It might sound old fashioned, but the contact with nature will help you connect with your inner-self. Put your favorite snacks and a good wine in a basket, go find a grassy space somewhere, sit down, and have a meal enjoying your surroundings.

4. Try something you have never tried before.

It could be eating crickets out of a candy store or simply that new gym routine.

5. Have a BBQ.

The smell of ribs just melt my mouth. It is the perfect time of the year to have a BBQ and catch up with family and friends.

6. Volunteer.

During the summer we are usually less busy. It is good to give back to society. You never know when you are changing someone else's life.

7. Have a garage sale.

It is time to clean some stuff, but what a better way than a garage sale? You could even get a little bit of money out of those books that have been stored under your bed forever.

8. Attend a bonfire.

Make some s'mores and play some acoustic guitar. It is an underrated activity, but I promise you will have fun.

9. Take a nap in a hammock.

It is not a typical place to take a nap and the swing will put you down to sleep.

10. Do a touristy thing in your city you have never done before.

Do you remember that museum you have always wanted to visit? Well this is the perfect time to do it.


Hope you at least try one of these activities!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

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.
