Finals are finally over! No more school for the students who didn't sign up for summer classes! Now that it's break, it is time to think about how you want to spend it. After a long and stressful year, it's time to do something that you will actually enjoy. There are many exciting ways to spend your summer vacation, and here is just a few.

1. Hang out with friends.

Whether it's your old high school friends or your new college friends, meet up and spend time with them. They are your friends for a reason, you enjoy spending time with them. You can sit around and do nothing together and still have a great time!

2. Amusement park.


If you have any amusement parks near you, plan a trip. What better way to spend your day than having the time of your life. They have fun attractions and great food, what more could a student during summer vacation ask for? Go with friends or with your family, either way, you'll have a blast.

3. Camping.


This may not be the option for all, but if you love the outdoors, go on a camping trip. What better way to spend your day than in the woods? Going camping with your friends is always a blast. A plus of camping is that most of the time you can take your pets. There is so much you can do when you go camping: you can go on a hike, you can go mountain biking, you can have a bonfire, and so much more. If you are an outdoorsy person, try to plan a camping trip this summer vacation.

4. Road trip.


Road trips are always fun when you are with your friends. It doesn't even matter where you are going, you have the most fun on the way there. Find the biggest car you can, choose a destination, fuel up, and have the best summer memory ever!

5. Volunteer


Volunteering is always a great idea, it gives you something to do and builds up your resume. If you volunteer, there is a 99% chance that you'll make new friends. After you volunteer, you feel like you accomplished something, and you don't feel that much over breaks.

6. Beach.


If where you live is close to the beach, then go! The beach is a great way to enjoy your summer break. You get to enjoy the great weather and when it gets too hot, the water is there to cool you down.

7. Visit different countries.


If you are able to afford it, go visit another country. When you get older, you won't have summer vacation anymore, so you probably won't have time to go out of the country. You friends and family will be jealous that you went on such an amazing trip over break!

This summer, have fun, because once it's fall, you be swimming in stress once again.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
