Summer is finally here! It's time to put away the textbooks notebooks, and pencils, and get out the bathing suits, beach towels, and sunscreen! School being out means we get to return to the place we call home. For some, it is a big city, but for others, it is a small town. Regardless of where you are from, you get to return to that place. Returning home is an exciting time, maybe you have friends to look forward to at home, maybe you have a pet that you can't wait to see, or maybe you just want to go home and relax. As much as we all like being away at school, summer gives us a little break to clear our heads and go on a few adventures.
Summer is a time to get together with friends and family. A time for cookouts. A time for the beach and most definitely a time to be carefree. Schools out and that means homework is done, there are no more tests to study for (for now), and there are no campus activities to attend. Instead, we can fill our time with beach trips, time outdoors, and maybe even putting in a few hours at that summer job or internship you just landed. Whatever it may be, summer is a time to enjoy. Even though school is out, as college students, we are never free. Sometimes it feels like Busy is our middle name. For most it probably is. Just because it's summer we still fill our days, the only difference is we have more choice and we can decide what we want our days to be filled with!
Whatever it may be, make some time for yourself this summer. Going to school doesn't allow us much time to ourselves and the summer was made for you. The summer is your time to explore, your time to adventure, and your time to relax. Fill your days with fun. Try to do something different every day. Regardless of what it is, enjoy your summer!
