Summer is finally here and while I have to take summer classes, I still want to have some fun. My freshman year was intense and my summer may be busy too. That doesn't mean I can't have fun outside or go on some fun adventures. It is finally warm enough up north to do multiple things that are dangerous and difficult to do in the winter (you can't swim outside when it is snowing). Being a Floridian I cannot wait to do water-related activities and other fun things as well. Hopefully, these give you ideas for your own summer.

Going to the water park

I love water parks so much. They have something for everyone and in my opinion, are much better than some roller coasters.

The pool

The pool has something for everyone. You can swim, dip your feet in, or sun bathe. Just make sure to use sunscreen.

Paddle boarding

I remember going paddle boarding while on vacation and it was so simple and fun. Something everyone should try out sometime.

Jet skiing

Jet skiing is so much fun! Whether you are driving the jet ski or riding behind someone, this is a nice way to cool off on a nice summer day.

Horseback riding

Going on a horse doesn't have to be hard. It is actually peaceful and fun to sit on a horse. Just don't be nervous because they can sense stress.

Zip lining

Zip lining can look scary but it feels so freeing. I felt like I was literally flying.

Go on a picnic

When it isn't as humid outside, go on a picnic and enjoy the weather while eating yummy food. Bonus points if the view is scenic and no bugs join.

Go to the boardwalk

Boardwalks are so much fun. They will have multiple restaurants and rides as well as a view of the ocean. Just try not to go to one full of tourists.

Roller skating

While this takes a while to get used to, once you get it, it's a blast.

 Hiking

I love a gorgeous hike, and most of the time, they're free. You could go on a classic hike or try something new. Please, make sure to check for ticks.

 Go to outdoor markets

During the summer, whether it has clothes, food, vintage items, or anything else, markets have so much cool stuff to look at. Even if you aren't interested in buying anything.

 Explore a city

For those who live near a big city or are willing to road trip, explore a city. They are all so different and are so cool to explore.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
