17 Small Things To Do Before School Starts
The Odyssey Online

It is back to school time! The cringy commercials have started rolling, yellow buses have started showing and move-in day is right around the corner. With two weeks left, it seems summer is over. However, it is almost over. We still have some time. So, before you go back, here are 17 things you can do to complete your summer!

1. Read a book of your choice. Who knows when you'll get to read for pleasure again.

2. Go back to school shopping because who doesn't get a rush from back-to-school shopping?... I'll wait.

3. Hang out with your high school friends because the next time you'll possibly see them is Thanksgiving or Christmas Break!

4. Binge watch all the Netflix Shows on your "My List" tab. Do not go into the school year without knowing if Jane will choose Michael or Rafael. (I'm currently watching Jane the Virgin)

5. Go on that last minute road trip you've been talking about all summer.

6. Go to the movies and see that film you've been dying to see all summer.

7. Visit your family before you leave. Although they might drive you crazy, you know you'll miss them while you're away. Maybe organize a family game night. Bowling is always an option.

8. COOK. EVERY. CHANCE. YOU. GET. You will regret it if you do not.

9. Volunteer in your community before you leave. Continue to help build up your community.

10. SLEEP. Enjoy it while it lasts.

11. Have a day at the pool because it will be closing soon.

12. Take this time to get to a peaceful state. Go to church, meditate or do whats right for you but try to enter into a state of tranquility before school starts.

13. Get that last minute piercing or tattoo you've been wanting all summer.

14. Pick up a few extra shifts at work because how else will you survive once you pay for books?

15. Spend a day for pampering. Go to the hair salon, get your nails done and get that massage. It may be a while before you get to experience those luxuries again.

16. Clean your room before you go. So when you come home, it will feel as though you never left.

17. Relax and get excited for the new possibilities and challenges of this next school year.

Yeah, Summer is coming to a close and it is time to welcome a new school year. It is time to make new memories with your college family, study hours for certain classes, pencil in nap times and continue to learn how to be independent. Try to enjoy the little time you have left and the simple pleasures you have now because once school starts, studying and sleep deprivation with a little bit of starvation is what we have to look forward to right? *insert crying emoji here*

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
