How I Spent My Summer

Summer: when you're a kid, you think it's so long. But, as August reaches its halfway point, we realize how fast the summer really goes. And, as we inch closer and closer to adulthood, we come to appreciate the summertime more and more, because we understand that we may never have vacation time like this again.

I have had a great summer this year. Did it fly by? Absolutely. But... it's not over yet. I'm going to appreciate the time I have left, but I'm also going to appreciate all the time I have had up until now.

Here's how I've spent my summer so far-- I wouldn't change it one bit, and I look forward to what the next few weeks have in store.

1. Spent time with new family members.

2. Went to as many baseball games as possible.

(Let's go Mets!)


3. Saw Justin Bieber at MSG.

4. Hiked a few mountains.

5. Went down the shore.

6. *Tried my best to* reach my daily FitBit goal.

7. Reunited with my roomies.

8. Went anywhere and everywhere with my BFF.


9. Ventured into NYC as often as I could.

10. Made memories.

One of the scariest things we will ever face in our life is going to college. Many of us move away to a new town, join new organizations, and make new friends. We are expected to study, have a social life, relationships, maybe work, and be healthy. It seems pretty easy to do, and in high school all we wanted to do was graduate and move on to this next chapter of our lives. If you are in high school, here are some things that you can learn from before you get to college. If you have already been through your freshman year of college, hopefully you can relate to the things I have learned in college.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
