The 4 Best Things about summer

Summer, in my opinion, is the best time of year. Every summer I find myself saying "wow, that was the greatest summer of my life," but somehow, it seems to get better every year. So, why is summer so great? Here are a few reasons:

1. The Weather

As someone who has lived in the North all of their life, summer weather is a God send. You don't need a parka, and can actually enjoy sitting outside. Plus, if you're spending all your time tanning, at the pool, or at the lake, your life is basically perfect.

2. All the extra time

For most of the people I know, including myself, your schedule during the school year is filled to the brim, and you're lucky if you can balance school, extracurricular activities, work, and a social life without feeling overwhelmed. During the summer, somehow even when working full time I find myself with an increased amount of time, which is incredibly refreshing.

3. The food

Fresh fruit, ice cream, and bbq's, count me in! During the summer, if you're not eating watermelon and making fresh popsicles, you are doing something wrong.

4. Adventures

During the summer, adventuring is key! What better way to have fun with your friends and make amazing memories. Cliff jumping, lake days, exploring your city or town, hiking, the list goes on and on!!

Summer is the greatest time of the year, in my opinion. Maybe it's better for some people more than others, but it's really only as good as you make it!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
