Summer is my favorite season and not just because of the heat. I love being able to be off school and not have to worry about so much except getting to spend time with my best girlfriends. Here are some ideas to get your friends in the summer spirit!

1. Have a pool day

Pool days are some of the best days of summer. Just relaxing, swimming, and tanning with your best friends. What could be better?

2. Find a local art festival

Summer is the prime time for local art and crafts festivals! These are so fun to go to because you can look at local art and support local businesses!

3. Quick road trips

Even if it's just a day trip or to a city an hour away, having an impromptu road trip is always so much fun. Find something cool or go somewhere you've always wanted to go that's close by!!

4. Find a carnival or fair

See if there's a local fair or carnival happening near you! This is so much fun to do with your friends.

5. Have a DIY day

Get your girls together and paint for your dorms or apartments, tie dye, or other DIYs you can find on Pintrest.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
