10 Reasons Summer Is The Very Best Season, No Doubt About It

From enjoying the warm weather to spending time with my friends, summer truly makes me so happy. This season gives me so much to look forward to. And, let me share them with you!

Experiencing the warm weather

Anyone who lives in the Midwest knows how exciting this is, especially after a rough winter. Dealing with freezing cold temperatures for months straight is not fun. I can't wait to roll down the windows of my car and enjoy the warmth!

Hanging out with friends

Hanging out with my friends is always a good time, but summer is always more fun. There are so many fun activities we like to do, like go to music festivals or have a movie night. I can't wait to come home this summer because I haven't gotten to spend a lot of time with them since being away at school.

Starting my summer job

Being an education major, I am going to be a camp counselor for five and six-year-olds this summer and I am very excited. This is my first time working at a day camp and it's not always going to be easy, but I'm up for the challenge!

Being sun-kissed and glowy

This is a given. Being pale stinks sometimes. Plus, considering I'll be working poolside all summer, I'm expecting to get my tan on — super exciting!

Swimming at the pool

As a day camp counselor, I'll be in the pool every day, like, you have no idea how pumped I am. I've always loved swimming! Might I mention that you tan better in the pool?

Sleeping in my bed at home

Only college students know and understand this one. My bed at school is not nearly as comfy and spacious as the one I have at home (so sad, TBH). I'm really looking forward to spending the next three months sleeping in it!

Taking a bath

I know this may sound so silly. But, as a college student who is living in the dorms, I'm starting to really miss being able to take a bath. I just want a nice bath with some bubbles and that's it!

Driving to places instead of walking

As a college student, I'm getting really sick of walking everywhere. There's also a level of freedom that comes with driving. I miss it so much so you can bet I'm looking forward to having that sense of freedom once again.

Spending quality time with my family

This is a big one for me. I really have missed my family while being away at school. I can't wait to simply be able to eat meals and watch TV with them again.

Having a fresh new start before next semester

Classes can be overwhelming. Sometimes, a break is all you need. Overall, I'm using this break to have time for myself to relax and take a mental break before next semester starts.

There are many reasons I'm excited about the summer. These are just my top 10. Now, as you prepare for summer break, think about some of the things you're looking forward to!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.

Where do we begin when we start talking about our roommates?

We often forget to thank them for the little things that they do to make college even a tiny bit easier and more fun. This list of 26 things are what you should thank your roommates for right this minute and every day that you live with them.
