6 Thing I Did On Vacation This Week Instead Of Coming Up With A Good Article Idea

When you're sitting back and relaxing on the shore of a beach in scenic Narragansett, Rhode Island, it's easy to let any other responsibilities you have just fade away. Which is why I totally forgot to come up with an idea for this week's article. Well, they always say to just write about what you know, so I'm just gonna tell you about all the things I did on my lovely vacation

1. Did some skimboarding

Okay, I'm not as good as that guy in the gif, but I still had a ton of fun with this. The basic premise is you throw the board onto the tide and then run after it and jump on it and then you just glide along the sand. It's like surfing, but less cool and more annoying to people just trying to take a walk on the beach.

2. Ate at two restaurants that Guy Fieri also ate at

I'll tell ya what, they may as well change the name of Narragansett to Flavortown. Two restaurants I ate at this week, Aunt Carrie's and Crazy Burger, were featured on Guy Fieri's Diner, Drive-Ins and Dives; a staple of food-slash-travel programming. You could almost feel the frosted tips as you entered the restaurant, eager to discover what distinguished this place enough to be Fieri worthy. I have to say, both were very delicious.

3. Saw the new Ghostbusters movie

What the hell were people complaining about? I loved this! It didn't try to be the original, it tried to be it's own thing, which worked well, and it didn't take itself too seriously either. Anyone complaining about this movie is probably just a misogynist who worships a shrine of Bill Murray every morning. Also, Kate McKinnon is bae.

4. Had a delicious and refreshing Del's frozen lemonade

I don't know what it is that makes this thing so delicious, but Del's frozen lemonade is one of the main reasons I keep coming back here. It's pretty much just sugar, ice, and lemonade, but there's something special in it that makes it literally one of the most refreshing things I've ever had. Also, they're only sold in Rhode Island, so if you're not a local, you'll have to take a trip to try it. Trust me, it will be worth it.

5. Watched all of Stranger Things

While my days were spent entirely on the beach, my nights were spent unwinding with some Netflix. My sibling recommended Stranger Things and we were immediately hooked. The pacing of the mystery was perfect. It kept me on my toes the whole time and I was always eagerly awaiting the next episode. The cast, especially the fantastic child actors, was also great. I would recommend if you're a fan of X-Files, Spielberg movies, or just good sci-fi in general.

6. Got pooped on by a seagull

You know how they say that there is a first for everything? Well, this was one of those things I could have lived a full, happy lifetime without experiencing. It wasn't too bad though. I was lying down reading my book when I suddenly felt something cold land on my swim trunks. I reached down to try and wipe it off but my mom warned me not too. I then realized what had happened, and then slowly and calmly walked down to the water to wash off. This, unlike everything else on this list, is not something I would recommend. (Also yes, as the gif shows, we had some nosy seagulls try to steal our food as well.)

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
