While last summer was plagued by the coronavirus outbreak and virtual lifestyles, this summer can be quite different. Given the vaccine roll out across the nation, it has become more of a possibility to travel, hang out with friends, and spend time doing exactly what you missed out on last year.

You may want to do an assortment of activities in the summertime, especially given the warmer weather and greater availability with scheduling. It can be quite difficult to even think of where to begin, but I have brainstormed an extensive list of fun summer activities that you should complete this season.

Well, THG fans…we are finally brought back from the dead (although I can't say the same for all the THG characters we have lost along the way). At long last, the time for a continuation of the "Hunger Games" series is upon us! Granted, this is a prequel to the series we know and love, but it's a continuation to further build up the world we're already familiar with nonetheless.

As we move through the summer months summer actives are now in full swing. There are pools to swim in, beaches to lay at, and parties to party at. But with all these things to do many of us are trapped in the same struggle.

I have come from a robust and boisterous family. There is never a dull moment in the house, and no one can get a sense of peace and quiet. When I wake up in the morning, I hear the clattering of dishes and the screaming coffee machine.
