Now that states are opening back up, we can finally safely go outside again while following social distancing protocols. So, here's to making the most of the summer of 2020. Here are my top suggestions of how to make the most of your summer if you live near my hometown of Clearwater.

1. Spend the day at the beach


Clearwater beach is a great place to go if you are looking to get outside, have fun, and soak up the sun. Whether its tanning, swimming, walking, or kayaking you can be sure to find something you will love to do there. Sometimes, if you're lucky, you can even find a sand dollar!

2. Support local artists at the Capitol Theater

Though there aren't any performances going on now, the owners sometimes open up the theater's gift shop so visitors can support local artists.

3. Grab a bite at Clear Sky

Clear sky is a popular restaurant in the area that serves American dishes, and I have always enjoyed what I have ordered there!

4. Go for a walk at Crest Lake Park

If you are looking to clear your mind, Crest Lake Park is a great place to for a walk. The park has beautiful lakeside trails that always leave me feeling refreshed. The park also has a picnic pavilion in case you want to bring a picnic lunch.

5. Take a trip to Clearwater Marine Aquarium

Because this is a non-profit aquarium that assists with the therapy and rescue and rehabilitation of injured marine animals, it is great to support. Here you can have fun and find marine animals such as, otters, sea turtles, sharks, stingrays, starfish, and the famous dolphin Winter from the movie Dolphin Tale.

6. Pick up an ice cream sandwich from The Mint Fox


The ice cream sandwiches from The Mint Fox are hands down the best I have had in Clearwater!

7. Walk through downtown Clearwater


Downtown Clearwater is a great place to go walk around because there is always something going on. From street performers to live music to movies at night on the lawn, there is always something happening there. Plus, there a bunch of restaurants and shops nearby that are fun to go into!

8. Walk on Pier 60

Located right in the center of Clearwater Beach, Pier 60 is a perfect spot to fish from or see spectacular views of the beach. I have seen so many fish that I normally wouldn't have seen walking on the beach by going on the pier.

9. Get a Drink at Restoration Cafe

Restoration cafe serves fantastic coffee and tea and always has quick service!

10. Explore Moccasin Lake Nature Park

If you want to see Florida wildlife, Moccasin Lake Nature Park is THE place to go. Every time I go for a walk there, I see at least five or six animals. The park even has an education center where staff talk to you about the native plant and animal species and where you should go in the park to see what species!

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
