For all students at K-State, summer is just one month away. I am (not so) patiently waiting for my last final to be over with, so I can finally relax and take a break from school. Here are some ways you can have the best summer yet when you have no clue what to do…

1. Go on a road trip

I realize that everyone may not have the money to just take off and head to the beach, myself included. But that shouldn’t stop you from making a short trip to the city. Running off to Wichita or KC for a day or two has always been my go-to for a quick get-away. You’ll end your boredom streak and come back feeling lighter after having a little bit of fun for a weekend.

2. Plan a family weekend

Hanging out with the fam is always my favorite thing to do. Plan a trip to visit them or have them come spend the day with you wherever you are.

3. Go fishing

If you’re a big outdoors person like me, fishing is a great way to spend the day. Even if you think sitting there waiting on a fish is boring, it’s better to be bored sitting outside at a beautiful location than at home.

4. Take in a new hobby

This could be anything from learning to play an instrument or my favorite: painting even though you’re no good at it.

5. Go to the zoo

Because what’s better than seeing all kinds of adorable animals?

6. Go hiking

If you’re stuck in MHK for summer, the Konza would be a great place to spend a summer day. If you’re not into hiking, try a walk around the park.

7. Get together with friends and take fun pics

Take advantage of the nice summer weather while it’s here. Grab some friends and head to the prettiest place you know and take some pics.

8. Buy a pizza and go to the park on a late-night picnic

Anything involving pizza is always a good idea.

9. Go window-shopping

Even if you have no money, it doesn’t hurt to look around, right?

10. Head to the waterpark or the gym

The waterpark is always the spot to go in the summer. Even if you aren’t a swimmer, laying in the sun getting a tan can be just as relaxing. If you find yourself wanting some indoor activity, hit the gym and make some gains.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.
