Less than a month before classes start back up again! You could be like me and chomping at the bit to get back into a familiar routine, or maybe you’re bemoaning the dwindling number of days of freedom left. Whoever you are, you probably have a few things you’ll want to do before summer is over. Here’s a list of suggestions:

1. Go to the beach.

2. Go to a fair.

3. Watch a movie in theaters.

4. Finish a new book.

5. Binge a new TV show. (You have enough time to finish it!)

6. Meet up with high school friends.

7. Discover something new in your hometown.

8. Take a spontaneous road trip.

9. Visit your grandparents.

10. Have a campfire.

11. Take a hike.

And finally…

12. Get your beautiful self completely ready for classes to begin!

I hope you all enjoy these last few weeks of summer break. Whether you’re excited for school to start or not, it will be here before you know it.

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.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. 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.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
