Spending a day with your significant other out by the pool, getting some sun. The perfect day.

2. Go to a carnival.

There's nothing like kissing on a ferris wheel.

3. Go to a drive-in movie.

Giphy

It may seem old-fashioned, but drive-in movies are ALWAYS a good time. Fun, private, and romantic.

4. Have a beach day.

Giphy

The salt, the sand, the fresh air. There's nothing more summery than that.

5. Have a sunset picnic.

Giphy

Pack a cooler full of your favorite foods and find a nice spot. Spend a couple hours in solitude. Watch the sun go down and the stars come up. What is better?

6. Road trip to a nearby city.

Giphy

Turn on some summertime jams and go find some hidden treasures.

7. Spend a day finding the best ice cream in your area.

Giphy

Taste test all the ice cream places in your town and find your favorite. It's a good excuse to eat ice cream all day.

8. Watch fireworks.

This would probably be an Independence Day thing, but still fun.

9. Have a bonfire with a bunch of your friends.

Giphy

There's nothing better than staying up late and having those deep discussions by the fire.

13. Make watermelon sculptures.

Giphy

Turn this into a competition; see who can make theirs the prettiest sculpture!

Giphy

Search for constellations and other patterns you can find. There's nothing quite like laying under the stars!

Giphy

Sailboating, paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing. Find some water and enjoy it.

16. Go to a food truck festival.

Giphy

There's not much better than spending time with your significant other, but spending time with them and trying delicious food... yum.

Competitive AND exciting!

Water balloons, water guns, etc. It's all fun, just pick your weapon.

A perfect excuse to having some fun competition in great weather.

Disney World. Need I say more?

6 Signs You Are An English Major

#EnglishMajorProbs

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
