Summer Bucket List For A College Student
CortneyBush

Being done with another semester of college is the best feeling in the world. You have a sense of accomplishment and you're ready to get summer vacation started! There's only one problem, what are you supposed to do with your time now that you don't have any classes? Here are a few ideas that might help you still have the sense of accomplishment and feel like you are using your time for good.

Get a summer job.

In order to do all of the items on this list you'll need money! Working a summer job will stil give you responsibility and hold you accountable. Plus, it will keep you used to getting up in the mornings and keep you spry for when school starts back up. You can get a job doing pretty much anything from mowing lawns, serving in a restaurant, or even working at a carwash.


Go to a concert.

You can jam out for a pretty affordable price if you buy your tickets early enough. You can see anyone from Brad Paisley to Journey! Take some friends and have a great time. Concerts are a good way to spend time with your friends and listen to some great music and, if you really want to, buy a VIP package and meet the artist or band you're going to see.

Take a road trip.

There is no better way to get somewhere than to take a road trip with your best friend. Half the fun of going somewhere a long way away is the trip there. You can make stops at fun stores and restaurants.

Go to the spa alone.

I know this sounds kind of lonely, but hear me out. A lot of people hate being alone (myself included,) but sometimes you just need some alone time. A time to be refreshed, renew your mind, and start clean. The spa is a great place to relax and have some peace.

Take a trip to the beach.

Don't forget to pack the sunscreen!


Go to an amusement or water park.

One great way to have fun and cool off this summer is to go to a waterpark! If you're looking for a bit of a thrill, you can go hop on a few rollercoasters at an amusement park. Be sure to bring some sunscreen!

Go to a drive-in movie with the girls.

Old school, I know, but it is still fun. You can get comfortable and have side conversations in the privacy of your own car without people around you shushing you. They aren't every where but the trip there can be just as fun.

Lay under the stars.

Appreciate God's creation.

Go camping.

Bug spray and s'mores are essential.

Go to the zoo.

This is the Memphis zoo and one of my favorite childhood memories. I cannot tell you how many times I have taken pictures sitting on the concrete stands of those animals. The zoo is perfect for any age to have fun! Make sure you hold your breath when you go by the elephant exibit!

Watch fireworks.

They're not just for the 4th of July!

Enjoy being home for the summer! Spend time with your friends and family and rest up for next semester. These are only some of the many things you can do while you are home! What can you add to this list?

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
