10 Memories To Make This Summer To Last A Lifetime

Natasha Trivedi

Summer is always something to look forward to, but sometimes having so much time off can be boring, with three (and possibly more) months of potential free time. With that being said, here are 10 exciting ways to spend your summer.

1. Scavenger Hunts

Who doesn't love looking for random little things all over the place? Scavenger hunts are something that followed me from childhood into adulthood, and I don't regret that.

2. Road Trips

Even though a long car ride can seem like a drag, it's not that way if you're going somewhere cool with people you enjoy. You can almost never go wrong with road trips.

3. Amusement Parks

This one is my personal favorite. I'm lucky enough to live in the same state as a Six Flags park that I love, but I'm a fan of several other parks as well.

4. Beach Days

If you're lucky enough to not live too far from a beach, it can be a fun day trip. Even if you are a little farther away, the beach is usually always a good time.

5. Camping

If wilderness is your thing, chances are you love camping. Also, S'mores. Need I say anything else?

6. Hiking

Again, this is for the fans of the great outdoors. Hiking is always a great way to spend time and go on an adventure.

7. Movie Marathons

The best time to be lazy and watch movies all day is when you have nothing else to do. Bonus points if it's a series.

8. Doing a 5k

Keeps you fit and looking fabulous, all while having a great time. Doesn't get much better than that.

9. Try a new food

Whether it's that new Sundae or some crazy foreign delicacy, anything counts.

10. Baking

Not necessarily just for summer, but a great way to pass time all year round. Who doesn't like making confections like cakes, cookies, brownies and more?

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
