As a college student, school ending has for once, caused an overwhelming wave of sadness in my life.

Living in a suburb about an hour away from Michigan State, I never truly appreciated East Lansing for it's daily surges of excitement and opportunity.

Now, in my constant state of boredom, I know that it is time to enjoy this summer vacation.

As I brainstorm the ways to spend my time, while I am not working, I have realized that it is actually very simple. With all my friends home, the possibilities for fun are endless.

Therefore I plan to spend my summer the best way I possibly can by taking advantage of all my new found free time, and I challenge you to do the same!

Plan a Lake Day

Kayaking, sunshine, and swimming- the literal definition to a perfect summer day. This is the perfect way to get tan and spend time with friends.

Exercise

With beautiful weather and the desire to be in a swim suit 24/7, what better way to spend time then exercising? Exercising can also inspire some to try new things like yoga or hiking as the weather may pertain. It's the perfect fun way to get in shape before school starts.

Plan A Road Trip

What could beat getting in the car with a couple friends and driving to find new adventures? With a change of scenery, and a break from reality, planning a road trip can be a great way to make memories this summer.

Go To A Music Festival

From Coachella to Lollapalooza, music festivals are a great way to have fun and create memories with friends this vacation. From the fashion, to the hype of the music, this is definitely a solid thing to get excited about this summer.

Make Money

Yes, it sounds lame. However, what better way to prevent being a broke college student this fall than finding a job this summer?

Netflix

This may seem to defeat the purpose of embracing the sunshine, but summer is the perfect time to lay back and enjoy some Netflix. Although it has the potential to isolate you from the outside world for a bit, enjoy it- you're on vacation!

Make A Bucket List

If you're like me, you probably know your town like the back of your hand. This has been the fuel to my boredom, what else is there to do? So, instead of dwelling on the familiarity of my situation- I have chosen to make a bucket list. A list of fun things I want to do this summer, so I am positive I will get around to completing them.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
