Just Summer Things

The summer time is not only the perfect time to relax but it is also the perfect time to take some little adventures. Not everything during the summer needs to be big, like a planned vacation or expensive outing. Here are some little things to do during the summer to make sure you make the most of it!

1. Watch the sunrise/sunset.

There is no prettier sight than a beautiful sunrise or sunset.

2. Go to the beach.

Nothing better than the warm sun, salty air, and sand between your toes.

3. Take a little trip to your favorite ice cream shop.

It's always a good time for ice cream, especially on a hot summer day.

4. Go for a hike.

Hiking in the summer can lead to some of the most gorgeous views, it's worth the exercise.

5. Read a book.

Read that book you have been meaning to read, the summer is the best time for it.

6. Have a little cookout.

Hamburgers and hotdogs on the grill causes for some good times.

7. Go for a nice bike ride.

The cool breeze from riding on a bike makes the summer seem a little less hot.

8. Hangout with friends.

Just spending time with friends can make any day better.

9. Go out for your favorite food.

Just because it's summer doesn't mean you can't indulge sometimes on your favorites.

10. Spend time with family.

Though it may be a crazy time, make time to spend with your family.

11. Have a bonfire.

Roasting marshmallows and smelling like a fresh fire, nothing better than that.

12. Drive around with the windows down and you're favorite music on.

Do it alone, do it with friends, it's just a good time!

13. Go fishing.

Whether it's in salt water, fresh, the morning breeze waiting for a fish to catch on is summer at it's finest.

14. Just spend some time outside and enjoy the nice weather while it lasts!

The summer sadly doesn't last forever, so make sure to take the time to enjoy it while you can!

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
