As I'm sure we are all way too painfully aware, classes for the fall will be beginning soon. There are a few things I suggest squeezing in before classes begin again and we all have a whole new set of stress-inducing things to deal with!

1. Get extra hours at work!

OK, hear me out before you roll your eyes into infinity, please! If you take extra hours at work now, do you know what you won't have to do? I'll tell you: work extra hours once classes start. Do you know what that means? That means you have more time for homework and (my favorite) spending time with your friends! Whoo!

2. Check out the pool/lake/standing body of water.

This one is kind of obvious, I would hope. It's summer! Go! Swim! Be free! Enjoy the slightly lower level of responsibility while you still can!

3. Go geocaching.

I'm working on a date to go geocaching with a friend before I become so busy I can't keep my head straight. It's a great way to enjoy the outdoors and be a little more active. Plus it's great thing to do with a friend! Yay bonding time!

4. Pokemon Go it up.

Now, to my knowledge, nobody is gonna be actively preventing anyone from playing Pokemon Go once classes start (except maybe your professors in class), BUT you might as well play as much as you can while you still have the free time that will soon be taken up by homework.

5. Go to an amusement park!

This one is my favorite, for obvious reasons. Who doesn't love an amusement park? Personally, I'm planning a trip to Valley Fair here in Minnesota. Mostly because roller coasters AND a water park. Can life get any better? Maybe if I could afford to rent the whole park out just for my friends! Other than that, I don't think so!

Honestly, there are so many other great things to do before summer ends. Yeah, I know that most of us are SO busy working so we can afford college that we aren't having much fun or doing anything exciting as young adults. Take this time. Do a few fun things. Work will still be there the next day if you take a day off and do something fun.

And seriously, take any extra hours you can get at work. Make that money!
