6 Ways To Cope With Summer Ending
Versakini

Oh summer. Summer means no finals, no all-nighters and no mental breakdowns. So how are we expected to be able to let go of our favorite season so easily? These six ways may prepare you for this fall, but they also might make saying goodbye to this summer a bit easier.

1. Deny. Deny. Deny.

    If you don't accept the summer is ending, maybe it won't happen? Let’s all try this one and find out.

    2. Squeeze everything into the last two weeks.

    Disney, a Dodger game and the beach in one day with three different sets of friends? Sounds like a slow day, you better fill up your schedule with everyone you want to see before you leave so that you don't leave anyone out.

    3. Post throw back Thursday pics on all your social media.

    In doing so, you and all your friends can stroll down memory lane together.

    4. Think about the future.

    Think about all the new memories you’ll make at school this fall and all your college friends you haven't seen all summer. Taco Bell at 2:00 a.m. just isn't the same without them.

    5. Give yourself something to look forward to.

    A shopping spree? A new hair cut? Blue Bell Ice Cream by the gallon? Whatever your thing is tell yourself you’ll get it as soon as summer is over.

    6. Start counting down the days till next summer.

    I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

    You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

    You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

    Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

    5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

    It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

    The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

    Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
