30 Stress Free Things To Look Forward To This Summer

he end of the semester is upon us, folks. While we're studying away for finals and spending countless hours in the library, remember the end is near. In just a few short weeks, we'll be free from the stress of classes. There's light at the end of the long tunnel. Here are a few things you can look forward to during summer break:

1. Naps

More specifically, naps without the guilt.

2. Free time

And lots of it.

3. Bonfires

Friends, fire, food: what more could you ask for?

4. Lake/beach days

Lake hair, don't care.

5. Summer job paychecks ($$$)

Rihanna said it best. Work, work, work, work, work.

6. Adventures

Go do all the things! You have time! (Just try not to end up like this guy.)

7. Time to spend with friends and family

And obviously your dog.

8. Road trips

Just get in a car and go somewhere you've never been.

9. Tanning by the pool (with plenty of SPF 50, of course!)

Safety first, y'all.

10. Sleeping in

As late as you want.

11. No to do lists

Unless they're the fun kind. Nap? Check. Netflix? Check. Pool time? Check.

12. Sunny days

Ahhh.

13. Driving with the windows rolled down and good music turned upSundy Best is my personal favorite.

14. Guilt-free Netflix

You can binge on all of your favorite shows without the guilt of not doing homework.

15. Family vacation

The best tradition.

16. No papers to write

Excuse me while I go do my happy dance.

17. Every day feels like the weekend

It's the weekend, I can do what I want to.

18. Time to go shopping (or do other fun things)

Remember all that stuff you wish you could've been doing while studying? Now's the time to do it!

19. Nights spent outside under the stars

Tailgates, stars, and fireflies.

20. Cookouts

Independence Day will be here before you know it.

21. Fireworks

Let freedom ring.

22. Drive-in movies

Popcorn and movies under the stars.

23. Doing all of those Pinterest DIYs you saved all year

Do you really need another painted mason jar? Yes. The answer is always yes.

24. Date Nights

The kind you can actually plan and make time for.

25. Movie marathons

You can rewatch the Harry Potter movies in one day with no shame at all.

26. You can finally break out your summer wardrobe

Shorts, chacos, and tank tops; oh my!

27. You can do something daring

Try that new hair color or go sky diving!

28. Popsicle/Fro-yo runs

Oh how I've missed Orange Leaf.

29. Toes in the water, toes in the sand

Not a worry in the world.

30. Having a nice two month break from the reality of college

A much, much needed break. Until August anyway...

Good luck with the rest of the semester!

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.

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.
