15 Things We'll Miss About Summer

Before classes start and our schedules are filled to the brim, let's take time to reminisce about what makes summer such a special season.

1. Driving around with your friends with the windows down and your favorite playlist blasting, right before the sun sets.

2. Relaxing by the pool with a fresh bowl of fruit and jumping in the water when your lounge chair gets a little too hot.

3. Taking your dog for a long walk, up and down rolling hills, under a shady canopy of leaves created by the trees arching over from either side of the road.

4. Curling up beside an open window on a sunny morning with a fresh cup of coffee and a stack of new magazines.

5. Having a barbecue dinner with your family at an outdoor picnic table then sitting around a fire pit catching up on each other's days.

6. Walking down the beach along the line where the sea just meets the sand. With each step, your toes get covered with a little more sea foam and your feet get buried deeper and deeper into the ground.

7. Eating a fresh seafood lunch and people watching under the awning outside a restaurant.

8. Racing kayaks with your friends at a local lake and climbing onto a wooden dock surrounded by water.

9. Having a perfectly refreshing ice cream cone on a sweltering day. Licking around the sides of the cone as if finishing the ice cream before it melts is a race against time.

10. Using your free time to reconnect and reminisce with old friends over meals and during parties.

11. The feeling of satisfaction you get after seeing how sharp your bathing suit tan line is after a day in the sun.

12. Lying on a giant pool float for hours and reading a fun, light book.

13. Relieving sore feet by getting a mani pedi with the best bright nail polish color after a day full of walking.

14. Working out outside in the perfect temperature: when it's warm enough that you don't need a jacket, but cool enough that when you run refreshing wind cools down your skin.

15. Spending time with your home friends: talking, going out and just enjoying each other's company.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
