Why Doesn't Summer Really Feel Like Summer?

It's been a month since finals ended... so where's summer?

Why Doesn't Summer Really Feel Like Summer?

Northern Michigan is at it again with the crazy weather. One day it's 75 degrees without a cloud in the sky, and the next three days are 55 and rainy. So far for me, this summer has been nothing but work and baseball games. My bank account is starting to show how much I've been working, but even on my days off, I do nothing.

Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining about not having school and being home. However, it would be nice to be on the lake for more than one day this summer. I have a summer bucket list that I want to complete, but the weather has to agree with me in order to start it.

I was looking forward to summer vacation all spring semester and now that it is here, I low-key want to be in East Lansing again to see my college friends and be back in my normal schedule. I think the most difficult thing about summer is the fact that I don't have a "normal" schedule like I do when I am away at school.

I hope this summer gets a little better. I have done a lot of thinking and reflecting this last month about my schoolwork and my personal life and I believe this time off has been beneficial- even if I am not as tan as I would like to be. Who knows what's going to happen in the next 10 weeks? I hope I get to spend time with my friends and family and also work hard so that I can treat myself this school year!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
