Well, school is out, and since you are free from working hard for your education. Now it's time to have some goals for this summer. Summer is probably the season that everyone enjoys because it's the full of fun and relaxation. However, there are some things you could do over the summer to prepare you for school in the fall. Here are some awesome things you could do over the summer. ( other than being a couch potato at home).

1. Find a summer job

Even though staying at home is very relaxing, it's good to get out and do something productive. I know finding a job is a lot of work but if you just find a job that you know you are interested in, then that's a thumbs up. Find a job that suits you and your talents. Even if you happen to pick one that you have no experience in although you might not enjoy it, at least you will learn something new.

2. Take a vacation

Ahhhh this is probably everyone's favorite goal to do. Why not take some time off to relax and have some fun? The summertime is perfect to take a vacation and let go. Go to a nice beach, or an amazing amusement park. You can even go on a camping adventure with your family and friends. Vacation is all about the beautiful summer outdoors.

3. Give back

Like finding a summer job, you can even volunteer at events. It's nothing wrong to do something that you love even without getting paid and just receiving community service. You can be a volunteer at a summer camp, where yourself and some others can have fun together. You can even give back to charity like helping a fundraiser or helping elders at a nursing home.

4. Go out!!!

Summer is all about fun too. You can go out a whole lot during the summertime. This is a perfect season to spend some quality time with your boo or going out with friends. Go out to pool party or watch a horror movie with a pal. Why sit at home all the time, when there are a million things to do?

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.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
