5 Lies You Tell Yourself In The Summer

When summer comes around, so does ice cream and snow cones and late night pizza trips with your friends.

5 Lies You Tell Yourself In The Summer
Paul Bica

Every summer we all tell ourselves we are going to do this or that, but how often do those things actually get done? As another summer passes us by, I think we can all agree there is a common theme to our "goals" for the summer. That is they aren't going to be achieved. Here are some of the most common lies we tell ourselves.

1. "I'm going to eat healthy."


When summer comes around, so does ice cream and snow cones and late night pizza trips with your friends. Summer ends up revolving around food and you aren't complaining.

2. "I'm not gonna sleep in late."

When your alarm goes off, you realize you won't be able to sleep in when school starts up again so you just hit snooze or turn the alarm off all together.

3. "I'm going to get super tan."


Normally, vacation doesn't last long enough for this. And when you get back from vacation, it's back to work all day.

4. "I'm going to work out everyday."

Between the aforementioned job, all the other lies you tell yourself will also prevent this from happening.

5. "This will be the best summer ever."

This is the lie you tell yourself every. single. year. Eventually, all you end up doing is working and sleeping. When you happen to have free time, finding a friend who also has free time is like trying to figure if Schrodinger's cat is alive or dead.

If you accomplish your goals this summer, I applaud you. However, I think we all have gone through a summer where we at least tell ourselves one of these things and it is never accomplished. Might as well try next summer!

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."

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…

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.
