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.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
