7 Things I Didn't Do This Summer

Whether it was intentional or not, there were a lot of things I just didn't do this summer.

Aug 22, 2016

Summer is a time for fun, relaxation, and working your butt off to make money. That being said, there are always a lot of things I want to do during the summer, some of them achievable, some basically impossible. So instead of listing all of the things I did accomplish this summer, here are some of the things I just didn't quite get to this summer.

1. Catch up on my shows.

I always get really far behind during the school year, so I usually catch up during the summer. Whoops! Maybe during the weekends I can play some catch-up.

2. Watch Netflix.

I really wanted to continue and start some new shows and re-watch some movies, but besides all of the stuff I watched with my parents, my list of things to watch on Netflix is even longer now than it was in April...

3. Read a bunch of books.

I used to be a reading whiz during the summer, getting through series after series after series. But after reading book after book during the school year, I feel a bit burned out and (sadly) tend to shy away from books. Hopefully, I can finish the book I'm currently in the middle of before I move back to Loyola!

4. Catch 'em all.

Sadly, I still haven't caught all of the Pokemon since Pokemon Go was released in early July. But hey, Ash hasn't caught 'em all either, so there's hope for me yet.

5. Finish my American Flag blanket.

I started weaving squares for a cool American flag blanket and I'm still working on the blue squares... Maybe I'll finish it before I leave for Study Abroad.

6. Go to the beach.

See, now this is something I'm OK that I didn't do. I'm not much of a swimmer and the possibility of a sunburn is too much for me to risk, especially with my Irish heritage dictating my skin tone.

7. Pack for school.

Wait, maybe this is something I should actually finish this summer... Yikes!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
