5 Things I'm Looking Forward to this Summer

In This Article:

Spring semester is finally coming to a close. It has been a long, tiring journey, but very soon responsibilities will be over, the sun will be shining, and we can spend long nights at the beach, rather than long nights at the lib

1. Hanging out with Friends

Giphy

With this semester being my second to last semester at USF, I have been more busy than ever. I've been working on finishing up higher level science class, while studying for the MCAT, and beginning to apply for medical school. Which means, I haven't had time at all to hang out with friends. I am so excited for the sleep overs, the movie nights, the brunches. Just seeing people other than in classes for once!

2. The Beach

Giphy

I live in Florida, and I can't remember the last time that I went to the beach. I made it a goal to go to the beach at least twice a month this summer. I grew up near the water, and it feels so strange to not spend my summer at the beach? Plus, at the end of last summer I adopted by puppy, and I am so excited to have him experience Davis Island's dog park!

3. Reading

Giphy

Reading and writing has always been a large part of my life. Thankfully, I have had the opportunity to write for the Odyssey at USF throughout my college career, and it has definitely kept me sane in times of stress. However, reading has always been my favorite pass time. I still keep on buying so many books, with no time to read. My whole library will be accompanying me to the beach this summer!

4. Sleeping in!

Giphy

I am definitely a morning person. I like waking up and knowing I have the whole day ahead of me. However, I had three 8ams this semester, and it has definitely taken a toll on me. I wake up exhausted and I come home exhausted. I am 21 years old. This is no way to live. I am going to take full advantage of being able to sleep in this summer.

5. Having no responsibility

Giphy

In the end, this summer I am looking forward to a lack of responsibility. I don't want to HAVE to do anything. This summer I am going to do what I WANT and nothing else. This is my summer!!

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.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

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.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

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!
