Its officially almost half-way through June. The summer is ticking away by the second, but with the current restrictions down here in Woodstock, GA its hard to picture what we should spend our time doing. I'm here to give you the ultimate summer bucket list fit for our time spent 6 feet apart.

1. Take a Trip to Downtown Woodstock

This cute, quaint area offers a plethora of shops and restaurants fit for any day out and about. Stop by Brooklynn's boutique or Ipp's for lunch. There are tons of fun things to do there!

2. Go blueberry picking at Berry Patch Farms

If you're like me, blueberries are one of my favorite fruits! What's better than getting to pick them yourself! Even with the current restrictions, Berry Patch is up and running expecting a ton of blueberries for everyone to enjoy by late June.

3. Venture over to Olde Rope Mill Park

Equipped with hiking trails, fish spots, canoeing/kayaking areas, biking trails, etc. this park is a must for those looking for an active and adventurous way to spend their day!

4. Hobgood Park

This little park is perfect for running, playing tennis, or just chilling at the picnic tables with your friends! I can say from experience that picking up a Starbucks at Towne Lake Parkway and meeting friends at Hobgood is such a fun time. Definitely a summer must-do!

5. The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta

Want to shop and just hang out with your friends or need some cute summer clothes? Well, the Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta has got you covered! Equipped with many restaurants, a Starbucks, and all the stores you can think of. A visit to the Outlets is a must-do for this summer spent in Woodstock!

6. Go kayaking at Lake Allatoona

Located just west of Woodstock, Lake Allatoona is the perfect spot for a calm day on the water. Bring your boat, kayaks, and hiking shoes! This scenic lake will not disappoint.

7. Take a Target haul at Woodstock Square

Everyone can relate to their obsessions with Target. You go for one item and end up walking out with twenty (minus that one item you most likely forgot about). Conveniently for you, you can spend your summer in Woodstock doing some Target runs. There is even a Starbucks located inside! This makes the Target at Woodstock Square worthy enough for this summer bucket list.

8. Noonday Creek Trails

This is another great hiking spot located right behind Downtown Woodstock! These scenic trails are perfect for hikes with friends and family or just with your dog! A must to explore during your summer here.

9. Go to the July 4th Firework Celebration

Still on despite current restrictions due to COVID-19, the firework show in Woodstock Square is a must see for the 4th of July!

10. Get take out and watch the sun set

I know this is not a specific spot, but as a Woodstock native, trust me, summer sunsets are gorgeous here! Go grab a friend, some food, and a blanket! I would recommend driving up to Red Top Mountain or even just any place on a hill and just take in the food. Moments like those are just perfect ways to spend the summer.

I hope this list gives you some inspiration on what you can fill your summer doing here in Woodstock, GA! The sun's out. It's time to bring yourself 6 feet closer to having a fun and memorable summer!

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads.
