First Day of Summer

Summer is Finally Here

6
First Day of Summer
HerCampus

In 6 days, I will finally be headed home to the comfort of my own room, bed, and food. Yes, I will miss college, but I love not having class and any immediate responsibilities waiting for me the next day in the early morning. Though it is finals week, I've already made a list of plans for what I'll be doing the first day of summer vacation off from college (until of course, I start my summer job as a camp counselor).

1) Cry in joy as I wake up from a peaceful slumber in my own room with no alarm blaring to wake me up for class.
Wow. I never thought this day would come. Finally. No school, freedom, breakfast in bed, not needing to sleep in my own bed with an excuse for "a night trip". No judgement.

2) Start watching TV
Fortunately, now that I have no homework to do, I can finally catch up on tv, AND start new tv shows. Thank God for modern technology and the Jesus of our time: Netflix <3

3) Make breakfast
Eh, eating isn't that important. I need to see if Olivia Pope and Fitz are gonna get back together AGAIN. (I hate the indecisiveness of their relationship, but they're so cute together, UGH)

4) Answer texts and phone calls now that I'm on vacation
Ok, I know this is pretty important to do while not doing anything else important, but ugh, I hate hearing the sound of generic Apple tones going off every 5 seconds.

5) Unpack
The worst part of vacation. Unpacking my life in my room, and scattering things all over the house just so it doesn't get too hot during the summer. Sorry mom and dad; but this is what happens when I have the hottest room in the house :P

6) SLEEP
True Story: This past week, I got a total of 31 hours of sleep. I think this will be the only thing I'll be doing during the whole break. So, I can effectively just scratch this list, as sleep is life.

Well, here's a complete, total and satisfying list to just get me through the first day of break. Though the annual problem for our generation is finding a good way to summer vacation, we might as well focus on today, and get through the rest later.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
