Summer is finally here and in full swing. Whether you are being a beach bum, working or interning it is inevitable that when you run into your Great Aunt Edith at the end of the summer and she is going to want to know how your summer has been. Regardless if you’ve been the pledging the real world as an unpaid intern, she is going to want to hear that you have had fun this summer. Really you have had fun because everything is fun, just a different type of fun.

Type one: fun now, fun later.

The easiest type of fun. Hanging out with friends on the beach or on a hike, going hard on a killer brunch, or seeing your favorite band in concert are all examples of type one fun.

Type two: not fun now, fun later.

Type two fun is most often found in moments where you thoroughly embarrass yourself. Word vomiting in front of a large group of people and not being able to recover.

Experiences like this are definitely not fun during, but give the embarrassment some time to fade, and the humor will begin to shine through.

Type 2.0: fun now, not fun later.

Thursday night when you somehow crawl into bed at 5 a.m. and have class in three hours. Your 8 a.m. is going to be a very rough type 2.0 fun.

For my fellow pale people, type 2.0 is something we experience going to the beach, and thinking we can tan, so we don’t wear sunscreen.

Type three: not fun now, not fun later.

That riveting summer desk job where you fill out paper work all summer, Type Three.Taking a required class and failing it, Type Three. Stay away from this.

Type four: fun for you, not fun for everyone else.

When it’s your birthday and you get a little out of hand.

Type five: not fun for you, fun for everyone else.
