15 Things I Wish I Would Have Done This Summer

Every summer it is the same thing. I have all these awesome plans of things I wanna do with my friends and family, but inevitably I always end up doing nothing that I planned to do. Don't try to deny it. I know I'm not the only one who is not heard from for days at a time, because you decided to binge watch a TV show on Netflix. So here are 15 things I wished I would have done this summer, than becoming emotional abused by the show that is Grey's Anatomy.

1. Gone to Blue Bayou Water Park.

I've lived in Louisiana all my life and I've never been. Don't judge.

2. Made homemade lemonade.

Since Beyonce' dropped her latest power album, I've had a taste for some lemonade. So I probably should have tried my hand at making some homemade.

3. Went Bowling.

I haven't been bowling since my 8th birthday party, which didn't go to well...

4. Had a picnic with a friend.

Fresh air probably would have done be good this summer.

5.Went to a music festival.

Coachella has always been my dream and there's tons of music festivals during the summer. I probably should have went to one instead staying in bed.

6. Had a house party.

I only have like a few friends. So it probably would have ended up like the movie "Project X." But hey its about the memories. *cue House Party by Sam Hunt*


7. Built a sand castle on the beach.

Going to the beach in general sounds like a good idea, why not build a sand castle while there?

8. Went out of the country.

A broke college student can dream, Am I Right?

9. Learned a new language.

The time spent crying over Grey's could have been time spent learning Italian.

10. Went to New York

I've always wanted to visit New York during the summer. I mean its....


11. Be a tourist in New Orleans.

I can never get enough of this city. The culture, food, and the people make it seem like I haven't seen what all the city has to offer.

12. Made homemade pop sickles or ice cream.

I'm a lover of pop sickles and ice cream. I probably would have saved a lot money by making it than constantly going to the store.

13. Read the stack of books in my room.

Its been sitting there since senior year of high school. I could have knocked it out this summer. I mean there's always next year.

14. Ate at a new restaurant.

I eat at the same restaurants while at home. Trying something new never hurt anybody.

15. Made a new friend.

I don't have many friends when I come home from school. So making a new one wouldn't have been all that bad.


Next summer I am vowing a change. I shall accomplish new, exciting, fun things! I believe that Summer 2017 will be my summer, I will make a change. If things so happen to not work out (strongly believe they won't) Netflix will always be there to welcome me home.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
