I think we can all agree that growing up sucks especially when it comes to summer. You and your friends all work separate schedules and when you do actually find time to hang out, there's not much to do besides the same old, same old. So if you take a look back, when were some of your best summer days? Your childhood of course! It's time to revert back to those endless summer days and nights with some of your favorite activities from when you were younger.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
