13 Activities To Take Advantage Of This Summer
Allie Rusinski

Even though we are in July now, I still have things I want to do before summer comes to a close. I hope you see these different activities and try doing them with your friends, family, boyfriend, etc. Let us make this summer, one to remember!!

1. GO TO A "NICE" BEACH

Beaches, where I live, are not really the greatest & so I want to go to one that has actual sand, clear water, and is a good time.

2. SEE A SHOOTING STAR

I see at least three every summer & I love getting to see more each and every year. They are just so special and absolutely breathtaking. If you have yet to see one, I recommend looking for them in August (that is when you will see them the most!)

3. GO ON A NEW ADVENTURE

There are thousands of different places to explore in my hometown and probably yours as well. Take advantage of the gorgeous weather and get out there. Find cool and exciting things!

4. GO TO THE FAIR

Every year I go to the fair and I would say I got at least five times a year. The atmosphere is just amazing and so is the greasy food. There is no place I would rather be than at the fair my last few weeks of summer vacation. Look to see if there is a fair by you & go to it.

5. HAVE A BONFIRE WITH FRIENDS

I love relaxing by the fire with my favorite people, just talking & chillin'.

6. GO TO A COUNTRY CONCERT

I at least like to go to one or two country concerts in the summer. They are always such a good time with good vibes and even better music. Find a country concert near you and have some fun.. trust me you will thank me later.

7. RELAX ON THE LAKE

I have been going to a lake with my boyfriends family for about two years now and it is the most relaxing vacation I have ever taken. I feel so calm and it surprises me because I am never calm...EVER. If you have the chance to go to a lake/beach for a few days, take that chance.

8. BLAST MUSIC IN THE CAR & JUST DRIVE

There is nothing I love more than being with my boyfriend, family, or friends, jamming to different songs while driving aimlessly. I think that is one of my favorite things to do in the summer, and I can not wait to do it again.

9. MEET A NEW FRIEND

I would love to meet new people in the summer and eventually have them become great friends. I love meeting new faces and getting to know them.

10. OVERCOME A FEAR

We all have many fears and I have one that holds me back from doing the one thing I really want to do. This summer is all about becoming a new and happier me... so that means facing my fears and having a good time!

11. PLAY IN THE RAIN

okay, but for real...this is so much fun to do. Usually, I say I can not stand the rain, but when you are outside having fun and goofing around...it is honestly the best. So on the next rainy day, go outside and have some fun.

12. UNPLUG FOR ONE FULL DAY

I want to try it out this summer. Basically, for an entire day, you shut off your phone, your social media, the TV, and the computer. You shut those off and get outside to do something productive.

13. JUMP ON A TRAMPOLINE

I know this one is extremely silly, but I do not have a trampoline and I have always wanted one. This summer I just want to jump on a trampoline....that is all...


I hope these helped you in figuring out what to do for the rest of the summer...Have fun and good luck :)

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!

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. 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. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
