Summertime is my favorite part of the year, especially since moving to Michigan. I can't wait for the long days of sunshine, snow cones, catching up with old friends, and so much more.

After a long Michigan, winter and cold, rainy spring bring on the sunshine and flip-flops!

1. The most obvious... warmer weather.

I think everyone is ready to ditch the boots and bring out the sandals.

2. The long days on the lake.

There's no better day spent than at the lake with a group of friends and endless fun.

3. Sleeping in until all hours of the day.

Unless your work day starts early, you can look forward to some extra sleep.

4. No school or homework!

Summer classes are sometimes necessary but the best part is that they're usually only a month or two long.

5. Tanning on a dock or at the beach instead of at the salon.

Get ready to lay out and soak up that natural Vitamin D.

6. Fire works on the Fourth of July.

Hands down my favorite holiday. It's the perfect weekend to get away and spend with friends and family.

7. More time to make money.

While you might wanna fill up your summer with fun plans, it's also the perfect time to ask your boss for extra hours.

8. Getting organized and flipping your closet to summer clothes.

As soon as classes end for Spring semester, it's the perfect time to flip your closet to summer clothes and reorganize your bedroom.

9. Drinking iced coffee/tea again!

Finally acceptable to order an iced drink from your local coffee shop and not have to worry about your hand freezing.

10.  Rolling down the windows and feeling the wind in your hair.

There's something about rolling down the windows and letting the fresh breeze roll in that makes your day 5X better.

11. Eating fresher and more tasty fruit.

Summertime is the perfect time to fill up on all those fruits that weren't ripe over the window. I can't wait for juicy watermelon and strawberries all summer long.

12. The nice warm, longer days.

Summer is the time to get out and do things from sunrise to sunset, even better you get at least 10 hours to do so.

13. Attending outdoor concerts.

A classic summer tradition is to get a group of friends and go to an outdoor concert venue, one you won't regret.

14. Finding new outdoor adventures.

Hiking, walking, biking, it's all better when its 75 degrees outside and the sun is shining.

15. Going on summer vacation road trips

Whether its a spontaneous weekend or a planned ahead trip, summertime welcomes all types of vacations.

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.

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.
