After another stressful year of school, summer is the time to relax and have fun. But with work and internships, it can sometimes be hard to relax or find the time and money to go on a vacation. The truth is that you do not need to go far away from Cincinnati in order to have a great summer vacation. This city has a lot to offer so you never run out of new adventures. Here are just a few of some of the great things you can do in Cincy this summer.

1. Shop at City Flea in Washington Park

Once a month during the summer and fall, City Flea is put on in Washington Park. There are great food trucks for a delicious lunch and an abundance of vendors selling a variety of products. It's a great place to shop for something unique!

2.Visit the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden

As the second oldest zoo in the United States, the Cincinnati zoo is a great place to visit for people of all ages.

3. Salsa on the Square

Every Thursday night enjoy free salsa dancing downtown on fountain square.

4. Have a picnic in Ault Park

The fourth largest park in Cincinnati is beautiful and the perfect place for your next picnic.

5. Go to the Loveland Bike Trail

The Loveland bike trail follows along an old railroad line and is a great option to get outside in the summer and get some exercise.

6.Visit Kings Island

With rides and attractions for all ages everyone is sure to enjoy themselves at Kings Island.

7. Go to a Red's Game

Show your hometown pride by cheering on the Red's at Great American Ball Park.

8. Go to the top of Carew Tower

For the best view of the city, visit the observation deck at the 49-story Carew Tower.

9. Have brunch at The Echo Restaurant in Hyde Park

Great for breakfast, brunch or lunch, this diner has been around since 1945 and will sure to satisfy your taste buds.

10. See a Concert at Riverbend Music Center

Riverbend is a great place to enjoy the summer weather while seeing a concert. With lawn tickets available it won't break the bank.

11. Visit the Cincinnati Art Museum

General admission is free so there is nothing stopping you from going to appreciate art you cannot see anywhere else.

12. Eat at Montgomery Inn

You can only get barbecue like this in Cincinnati. I would also recommend treating yourself to some Graeters after dinner for a true Cincinnati experience.

Cincinnati is a city that truly has a lot to offer. These are just a few suggestions to start your summer off right, but keep exploring the 513 even more!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
