5 Ways To Make The Most Of The Final Days Of Summer

With celebrations like the Fourth of July, Father's Day, and Flag Day flying by, and the beginning of August around the corner. I have to say that Summer is ending. Soon, I will not be able to binge watch shows on Netflix, eat popsicles all day, and will be sitting in a classroom trying to stay awake. Summer 2016 may have not been as excited as I had hoped, but I have had some good moments and memories that I will keep forever. Here are a few ways to enjoy this Sunny season while it lasts.

1. Visit the beach one last time

Okay, Galveston, TX or your local beach is definitely not Bora Bora but you can always pretend it is. Throw a beach ball and wade in the water before high tide. Going to the beach during summer is always a good idea.

2. Hit up the semi annual sales

Another sign that summer is coming to a close are semi annual sales. It's basically when stores discount items to get rid of them but I am not complaining. You can buy a swimsuit that you have been eyeing for a bargain. Just make sure to purchase quality items and not something random because it is half of the original price. You want to be laughing to the bank, not crying.

3. Meet up with your hometown friends

You probably have done this too many times to count this summer but you should hang out a few more times before school starts and can only FaceTime each other. If you are all sick of eating at the same place together, try a different place that none of you have ever tried.

4. Snap a few more photos

Sometimes the best pictures captured happen out of bittersweet circumstances. After trying something different with your friends or by yourself, revisit your favorite places to eat, shop, just have fun, etc and take pictures to look back on the time where you spent the last days of summer.

5. Reflect on events that have happened this summer

It may seem a little too soon to have nostalgia but reflecting on the laughs, tears and growth you have experienced is always relevant. You may have started a new hobby, mastered a skill, went on a hike, or formed some new relationships. If you have any regrets this summer, just know that things will not always how the way you planned then to go. Learn from your mistakes and move on.

While Autumn is my favorite season, Summer will always have a place in my heart for the adventures with my friends, camping out and going to the beach. It is the season all students look forward to and can seem like it will never end...until it does.

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…
