Is It August Yet?

Even though summer has just rolled around the corner, I am more than ready to return back to school.

Jul 11, 2016

Do not get me wrong, I love the summer and I love not having loads of homework and all the other stresses at school. But I am so ready to be back with my friends, and to be on my own once again. I have adjusted to things around home, and back to the ways my parents need and want me to act, so it's safe to say that I am counting down the days to go back to college.

I love the summer weather, and all the other beauties summer brings with it. I love the warm sun on my skin, a nice cold beer in the middle of the day, and even sometimes I enjoy the air conditioning in my house. I love all the fresh vegetables that I get at farmers markets. I even love working the till the end of the night and coming home at the end of the week with a nice paycheck. I love driving around my car on hot days and blasting the latest pop song that comes to my mind. I love all the dogs I see walking around town, and just seeing them easily makes me happy. I love being able to work out so late at night that for the most part I'm the only one in the gym. I love sitting outside at 9 a.m. in my bathing suit while no one's home and getting my tan on. But now I'm just over it all.

I'm ready to be back in the swing of things. I'm ready to rekindle friendships I've missed and I even have hours of events to fill them in on. I can't wait to stay up all night, until I can't open my eyes anymore. I can't wait to be able to walk outside and have something to do even if it means going to the library at 5 p.m. I can't wait to go out on weekends, get a little too drunk and just enjoy myself after long study days. I can't wait to get dressed up in new clothes just to trash hours later, or even waking up with the lipstick I wore last night on. I can't wait to work my half hour work shifts that barely get me any money every other Friday. I can't wait for all the drama that comes with all my daily routines, and all the insider scoop I get by all my friends. I can't wait for those last-minute assignments that I'm doing the night before because I simply just waited till the last minute. I can't wait for my life to be back to “normal.”

Summer's great, don't get me wrong, and I've had a great couple of months being home and relaxing. I'm simply just ready to go back to how things were a few months ago. I'll miss some aspects of my home: the comfort it brings and that warm summer sun that is constantly beating down on me. I love being home, and I love being at college; both make me really happy. Just for right now, at this moment, I'm just simply over summer.

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

A little advice for my original best friends

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.
