13 Things I'd Rather Do Than Go Back To School

Author's photo

With fall semester sneaking up on us (sadly) I cannot help but think of all the things I would rather do than go back to school and the endless hours of school work. Summer is undoubtedly the best time of year. There is no school, the weather is nice and warm, and you get to lounge around and do whatever you want for 3 whole months! Who wouldn't enjoy that?! So when August arrives, we all know we are about to be tossed back into the harsh reality that is "school." School is a blast don't get me wrong! But, there isn't anything comparable to the warm summer months we all know and love so dearly. Here I have listed only a few of the many things I would rather do than go back to school, enjoy!

1. Go to the beach

Who doesn't love the beach? I would take the warm weather, sand and salty ocean water over homework and class ANY DAY!

2. Float around in the pool

What is better than floating around in the pool with a nice cold drink in your hand? Definitely NOT pop quizzes!

3. Go to the zoo

I am sure that any animal lover can agree with me that they would much rather spend a day amongst exotic animals than deal with irrational teachers.

4. Go on a walk

Honestly, anything is better than going back to school if we are being honest...

5. Pet a dog

I mean I think that we can all agree dog petting just about takes the cake!!

6. Go on a hike

Fresh air is always good! (and much better than being cooped up in the library for 24 hours straight!)

7. Go on a drive blasting music

This is definitely one of the best parts of summer! Getting to drive around town with your friends from home with the windows down. I would definitely trade it for going back to school.

8. Get ice cream

Ice cream is not only for the summer, it is a treat meant for whenever the heck you want! And I do not know one single person that would take school over the delicious frozen dessert.

9. Go shopping

Why spend money on school when you can spend it on a whole new wardrobe!

10. Go on a road trip

Get a few friends together, pick a location, get in the car and go! Some of the best memories are made by making spontaneous plans!

11. Go to a museum

Even if you are not a museum person, I am sure you would take that over going back to school! I know I would (and I am not really into most museums..)

12. Have a bonfire

Nothing says summer like a good bonfire with some good friends (preferably on the beach)

13. Sit in traffic

In the end I think we would all take almost anything over going back to school!

Summer is not over yet! Luckily we have a few more weeks of freedom so let's enjoy them while we can and make the most of them! Because I know in a few months we are all going to be wishing we could have these carefree moments back. Enjoy the rest of your summer! :)

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
