Summer Is Over And Now To Open The Books
personal

Over the school year, many kids are looking forward to summer vacation and what they are going to do with their friends and family. Although summer may be a fun time to be able to just relax and not deal with school issues such as grades. Being on summer vacation has so many fun memories for people but just being able to see friends you make over the school year and to hangout with them is something that all kids want to be able to do. When you are in college it can be hard sometimes because you may have friends who live in different states that are to far away to drive to. Even though you may have friends at home you have not seen for a whole school year you just want to be able to get back to school and hang out with friends you know you can do anything with and be your self.

Although being on summer vacation can a be fun and exciting going back to school for some students is really the joy for them. Being home can be fun but it can also get boring if you sit around all day without a job and not doing anything. When you are arriving back at school for the first time after summer vacation you are able to see friends who you have not seen since the school year. Also you have the ability to make new friends and do things you were never able to do if you were at home. Being at school you can find things to do in order to stay entertained so you are not sitting around doing nothing unlike if you were at home without plans. When you return you are able to meet up with friends and make plans about what you want to do and the fun you can have together.

Arriving back at school can be annoying at first because you are like "ugh I have to wake up so much earlier than I did when I was on vacation". But it all gets better once you walk on campus and see your friends hanging out at the dorm or in the campus center talking about what they did over the summer. While you are back on campus for the first time you can do things such as spending time with friends and being able to do some shopping for school supplies now that you know classes are going to begin soon. Even though you could have done that while you were at home you now have a reason to go to the bookstore and buy school supplies. Though many kids are not looking forward to classes once school starts again and the summer ends it can be good for kids because they are able to get back into the swing of things and really aim for getting that good semester grade. As well as getting back to hanging out with buds and having fun together.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
