20 Things To Do With Your BFF This Summer

Saying goodbye to best friends at college is tough, especially when you live hours away from each other. Summer vacation provides a chance to finally reunite with best friends from high school!

Here are 20 things for you and your high school BFFs to do this summer:

1. Go to the beach

Even if you don't live near a beach, a road trip to one is always fun!

2. Take a road trip to a city in your state that you've never visited before

You'd be surprised how much you don't know about your own state.

3. Make an awesome playlist for car rides

Don't forget to add some of your favorite throwback songs from middle school.

4. Go to the gym together

Try a zumba or yoga class together. Even if you aren't the best, at least you look dumb together.

5. Get mani-pedis together

6. Go see a movie

My high school BFF and I are going to see "Finding Dory" as soon as it comes out!

7. Go to a concert together

Dance, laugh, and make some awesome memories listening to your favorite musician.

8. Visit a festival together

There are a ton of festivals in Virginia. My favorites are the Virginia Beach Patriotic Festival and the Pungo Strawberry Festival.

9. Go for a hike

It's a perfect way to get some exercise and take some amazing pictures.

10. Meet up for brunch

Try a new restaurant and catch up on everything you missed while you were away at college.

11. Throw it back to middle school with a sleepover

A sleepover isnot complete without face masks and chick flicks.

12. Visit each other's college towns

This is another great excuse to have a road trip! Plus, you get to see your bestie's second home.


13. Go shopping

Your best friend was your main mall buddy in high school, so you know you'll have a great day.

14. For the adventurous best friends: go camping

Unplug from social media for the weekend, and don't forget to make some s'mores.

15. Have a photo shoot

I did this for my friend's senior pictures, and we had so much fun finding beautiful locations to snap some pics!

16. Be a tourist in your hometown

Go to museums, visit historical sites, and take touristy pictures. You might even learn something new about were you live.

17. Craft together

Get some inspiration from Pinterest, hit up Michael's, and spend the day crafting.

18. Try a new recreational activity

Go surfing, kayaking, or stand-up paddleboarding.

19. Get out old yearbooks and pictures together

Laugh and reminisce over the awkwardness.

20. Channel your inner child and go to the zoo or aquarium

You may be the only people over the age of 18, but you'll have just as much fun as the elementary school kids on their field trip.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
