18 Things To Do Before The Summer Is Over

1. Go to the beach at least 12,000 times.

This one is a given. Drive three hours if you have to, just get to the ocean.

2. Go to a summer concert.

Even if you don't know who the hell is playing, I promise, it'll be wicked fun.

3. Set a goal and accomplish it.

Ideally, set a realistic goal. Start small and challenge yourself more and more every time you accomplish a new goal.

4. Change your hairstyle.

Dye it, cut it, throw it in a bun, whatever.

5. Exercise

Not just to lose weight or tone down for that beach bod, but to feel healthier and happier (thanks, endorphins). Plus, you'll start to sleep better.

6. Make a bomb ass smoothie.

Fruit, fruit, yum, fruit. Or, kale. Kale is good, too.

7. Cook a meal for your family.

Maybe it'll suck, but it's the thought that counts.

8. Do things out of your comfort zone.

Maybe jumping out of a plane isn't a great place to start, but if it floats your boat, then YOLO.

9. Drink a gallon of water every day.

No, it won't make you look like a stinky jock, but your body needs clear fluids, and pumping water through your body all day will do wonders.

10. Ice cream weekly, if not daily.

It's good for the soul.

11. Go swimming in the ocean.

Sandy toes and salt water, also very good for you, your mind and your soul.

12. Tell someone random they're beautiful.

It would make your day, wouldn't it?

13. Learn something new.

Something, anything, just learn and be open-minded.

14. Go on a road trip.

Thirty minutes to somewhere you've never been does count.

15. Explore your town, city and state.

You never know what is right around the corner from you.

16. Plant some flowers.

Because even if you're allergic, who doesn't love flowers?

17. Jump on a trampoline, and then lay on it and look at the stars at night

A perfect summer evening.

18. Learn to live in the moment.

Self-explanatory.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
