An End Of Summer Checklist

Everything you need to do before the leaves start falling.

August is coming to an end, and that means summer is too! Heading back to school is our main focus right now, but let's not forget to take advantage of the little bit of Summer we have left. So, what should you make time for around your busy schedule of working your final hours at your summer job? See below :)

1. Beach Trip.
Did you make it to the beach this summer? Even if you just head down to the beach on the closest lake to you, a summer beach trip is a must. You need that final chance to spend a day soaking up the sun, enjoying the sand and water because we will have snow soon! If you have made it to the beach already, who cares, go again! You probably want to clean up some of your tan lines before you're to busy to get outside!

2. Spend Time with your Hometown Friends.
It's hard to get everyone together. The summer has been spent trying to make plans! But everyone's actually going to be leaving soon. Now is the time to sacrifice working a double so that you can have a final bonfire for everyone.

3. Request your Favorite Home-Cooked Meal.
You are about to go a few months without Mom's chicken pot pie. Now is the time to BEG for her to make your favorite meal. Not everything can be mailed to you.

4. Finish all of your Pinterest Crafts.
All of those dorm decorations you've been working on (or that are pinned in your to do board) need to be wrapped up! You can't leave all your hard work unfinished or your room undecorated.

5. Love your Summer Clothes
You know that tank top you bought in May that you haven't worn yet? Well, it's time! You only have a little longer to wear all your cute summer clothes without having to layer up with all your almost as cute scarves and jackets.

6. Enjoy the Seasonal Snacks and Drinks.
We all love the pumpkin spice everything that comes out in the fall, but don't forget about all the yummy summer treats there are as well. Special frozen lemonades and my personal favorite Tim Hortons frozen hot chocolate. Nothing beats this tasty drink on a hot day.

7. Spend Time with Those People you Call Family.
It seems silly, you've been with your family more than you are at school, yet think about how much you've actually done with them. Summer is crazy and hectic so you may have missed the yearly family reunion or your great uncles birthday party. Now is your chance to make it to whatever family picnic or labor day celebration they're all having. Even if you have to take a day off of work, it's worth it! Otherwise, you'll be sad you missed out on one last summer event once you get back to school.

While this list could go on and on, these are a few things you may forget about in the hectic rush of shopping, packing and working! Remember it is summer vacation, and you should make time for yourself and the people you enjoy being around. Use this checklist or add to it to fit what you still want to do before the fall semester hits!

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

University of Kentucky

pointsincase.com

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

The struggles of having an RBF are all too real

1. People asking if you're mad at them.

2. Those people who hand out flyers don't always try to stop you.

3. Creepy guys telling you to smile.

4. "I thought you were a bitch when I first met you."

5. People telling you you'd be "so much prettier if you smiled."

6. Doing your makeup and looking great, which somehow intensifies the bitch face.

7. Regularly explaining "it's just my face."

We all go through certain stages when we have a crush, Tina just explains it better.

That moment that someone you never looked twice at suddenly makes you do a double take out of no where.

But you can't have a crush, that's outrageous. It's all in your head.

Because you don't have a crush, there's no reason to tell anyone about anything. Right?

But then they do something irresistible and you start to lose it.

Now accepting the fact you have a crush, you have to keep it under control.

Then there's the part where you tell your friends who will claim they called it.

They'll be excited and cheer you on. That's until they realize that your crush is all you'll be talking about.

Your obsession has become so bad, that your Facebook stalking is getting out of control.

But your friends will try and help move things along any way they can. That doesn't mean it will be any helpful though.

As time goes on, you start having fantasies about the two of you and it's starting to scare you a little.

You can't focus on anything because all your attention is on them and everything they do.

Anybody who comes near your crush is now an enemy, and you are willing to fight for your crush.

When you see them, you act like an idiot. Trying to hide your feelings may not be as discrete as you think.

Keeping your feelings inside will start to be harder and harder until you can't keep it inside anymore.

Who knows, maybe it will work out? Take a chance.

Everybody hurts sometimes.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

1. You feel like an elder.

2. You may feel lonely.

3. Senioritis is more real than ever.

4. You may feel a little down sometimes.

5. Fear of missing out won't be as real.

6. You are a college pro.

7. You'll have more free time.

8. You're happy you're still in school.

9. You feel like a guru.

10. You continue to grow.
