As the air gets crisper and the leaves start to fall, we always contract our yearly bout of summer nostalgia. Summer nostalgia includes thinking back on to that one party with that one group of friends or regretting not accepting that canoeing trip with your family friends. We all know this grieving process, for it happens to the best of us because summer is not nearly as long as it should be. We all wish that we could live in Hawaii or California where it seems as if the summer fun never ends, but that's okay because it only makes those three months more worth. So, here's to summer and some of the things I wish I would have done more of.

1. Spending More Time With My Pets

That’s right, our pets hold that special place in our hearts. But sometimes we forget our little Fido is sitting right outside, wanting to be played with.

2. Acquiring Your Best Summer Tan

Getting our golden brown tans back is something that makes summer so wonderful, but sometimes lying inside where the wifi works and the TV with American Horror Story may seem like the better idea at the time.

3. Working Out More

Summer is almost like the key for starting your six month late New Year’s resolution. The only thing is, it almost never happens.

4. Eno More

Grab your eno, some granola, a good book and find two random trees away from humanity to reside in for awhile. Dont forget the bug spray.

5. Go On More Hiking Trips

Personally, hiking is the best way to go for any occasion.

6. Read More Books

Majority of us dont do much reading other than our assigned summer reading for school. But it's good to take your nose out of your phone and put it into a good book.
