5 Things For College Students To Do This Summer
Carson Armstrong

The temperature is increasing and school is letting out. My personal favorite time of the year is almost upon us and with that, the freedom that accompanies the season. The possibilities seem to be endless and as we approach the summer, I have been compiling a bucket list of sorts.

With that being said, these are the top five things that I wish to accomplish this summer.

1. Spend time outside.

While I love the warmth, I openly admit that I sweat like a pig and, because of that, I tend to spend little time outside. This year, I will spend time outside whether it be exercising or just basking in the sun. Maybe this year, I will get the tan I've always wanted.

2. Read a book.

I tend to do this every summer because it seems like one of the most productive uses of my time, on top of I usually have required reading for school. However, this year I would like to strengthen my love of reading by exploring different genres, finding new authors, and delving into a new series. The first summer I have without a reading assignment since I was in fifth grade looks promising.

3. Travel.

Whether it be a casual road trip with friends or a destination trip with my family, I am going to explore. I have always had trouble with actually executing trips because I usually am very busy. However, this summer is going to be different. I am going to wander without fear of the unknown.

4. Save money.

I have had a part-time job for the past two summers. However, I still seem to end the school year with no money. I am going to research money saving tips and develop financial knowledge. Money moves only this summer!

5. Organize.

The word organize seems very simple but in actuality, it holds a lot of meaning to me. I am going to organize every aspect of my life. My bedroom is going to be organized so I can focus on important things; I am going to organize my school things so that move in, and life, in general, will be easier in the fall. I am going to organize my priorities so that not only this summer but the next school year will be better than ever.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
