15 Things To Look Forward To This Summer

media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com

The spring semester is almost over and the countdown to summer is starting. It might still be April but I can't help but get excited for the heat and a little time off. Summer brings a special feeling of happiness along with it and I'm so ready for it. Here are 15 things to look forward to this summer.

1. Longer days

The sun stays up longer and it makes for a much better day.

2. Vacation

Whether you take a trip an hour down the highway or five hours on a plane vacations are always the best in the summer.

3. Ice cream dates

Ice cream dates are a must in the summer. There's something about ending a hot summer's day with an ice cream cone that makes it taste so much better.

4. Fires

Whether it's a fire in the backyard, on the beach or in the woods there's something about a Summer fire that is just amazing.

5. Sun-kissed skin

The feeling of the hot sun beating down on your skin is a great feeling. Getting a tan isn't half bad either.

6. Bare feet and flip flops

Not having to wear shoes is one of my favorite things. If I can't be barefoot, wearing my favorite pair of flip flops is the next best thing.

7. Cookouts

Eating food straight off the grill is the best kind of food in the summer.

8. Car rides with the windows down and music blasting

Those days when you roll all the windows down and cruise on the highway singing your heart out with your best friends are the best days.

9. Sand between your toes

The feeling of being on the beach with your feet pushing down into the warm sand as it squishes between your toes is the best feeling.

10. Coming into the AC after a day in the heat

After hanging in the heat all day long walking in the front door with a gust of cool air hitting you feels amazing.

11. Staying up all night and sleeping in all day

Summer brings along lots of all-nighters and not so much sleep. It's all about staying up all night and sleeping all day.

12. Road trips

Getting in the car whether you know where you're going or not is an adventure in itself.

13. Beaches

Going to the beach. Tanning. Sun kissed skin. Salty beach hair. What's not to love?

14. Cute summer outfits

Shopping for summer clothes is probably my favorite thing to do. Picking out cute outfits is always an amazing time.

15. Adventures with friends

Doing things with friends is the best thing to do in the summer time. Road trips, day trips or even just hanging at home. Everything I do with my friends in the summer turns into some kind of an adventure.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
