50 Things You Should Do This Summer

Summer. Ah, that glorious time of year that college attendees anxiously count down for practicaly the moment spring break ended. You tell yourself, this is going to be the summer where you get things done; you even make a Pinterest account! But before you know it, school creeps up and with a week left of summer you realize you've been a slave to your couch and have convinced yourself to conserve water by showering less.

Dirty couch slave no more. Here are 50 things you can do to inspire your adventurous, thrilling, and worth while summer.
