How To Have A Fulfilling Summer Without Tinder

Swimming, rock climbing, jumping over ropes; summer can be fun if you try outdoor activities you read about online.

By now, most college students have finished with classes for the summer and are starting internships and jobs. With the realization by many students that their unpaid internship was created by a company for the sole purpose of obtaining free labor, it is quite common for young people to turn elsewhere for a sense of fulfillment. In a bygone era, it was frequent for these lost souls to turn to religion, but in this godless generation, the only salvation is the use of the applications on cellular phones. Tinder, one of these applications, has been used by the masses to rekindle that spiritual flame that once burned so brightly. So as you can see, for students who aren't able to use Tinder over the summer, it's important to find new ways to have fun!

One summer activity that I've always loved is the building of tiny boats. Typically, one goes out into a forest, collects little twigs, and binds them together with string found in the neighbor's dumpster. The small vessels are usually no larger than the volume of three-and-a-half pomegranates, but the size can occasionally match the volume of up to five pomegranates. When floating the boats down the stream, it can sometimes be fun to race against a friend that you met on Tinder. Without Tinder, it can be more difficult to do this but it's still possible. There are a number of frozen yogurt shops that were designed with the intention that they would become vibrant hubs for meeting friends. Go get frozen yogurt and make some boats!

For some, the best part of Tinder is the fun swiping motion. The repeated swiping motion exclusively to the left or exclusively to the right (the direction depends on your gender identity) is therapeutic. Those who can't use Tinder this summer should find a nice broom with sturdy bristles and start sweeping sidewalks. Bernie Sanders is a fierce opponent of privatized industries such as sidewalk-sweeping, so taking this task upon yourself would really get him riled up. And that's fun for all of us.

Swimming is also fun. The best part about swimming is that it doesn't require a Tinder, although it's highly recommended that you have one so you can find a lifeguard. It actually might be better to find a lifeguard from somewhere other than Tinder because being "fluent in sarcasm" actually makes you worse at lifeguarding.

Some article I saw on Facebook said that forming a band is fun. You could do that.

Another article I read while waiting in line at Qdoba said that going to Chipotle is a fun summer activity. That same article also advised readers to find a hobby during the summer. Sounds like a good idea. Go spend hundreds of dollars on musical instruments that you'll use for a month before your lack of dedication and integrity causes you to quit.

Honestly, you should probably just find a way to use Tinder over the summer, even if you think you're unable to. It's not a fun app but at least it's free.

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.
