As the summer season starts to wrap up and school is approaching, many decide to have a big summer blowout! My summer blowout was last night at the Blink-182 concert featuring All American Rejects and A Day to Remember. Of course your summer blowout doesn't have to be quite as huge, as long as it is amazing!

The concert was amazing though! It was the first time I was in the lawn, and let me tell you, it was the best way to see the concert, because regardless of how packed it may be, you always have some room to dance and have a blast! Once before I went to the same amphitheater in Tampa and sat in the covered seating. Honestly, it was more worth sitting in the lawn than the seats. When you are in the seated area, it is so cramped. You are literally packed like sardines, and being packed as such makes it even more difficult to see the performers. In the lawn seating or standing room, there was huge screens to show the performers and everything on stage, which made it so much more enjoyable. Oh, and trust me, the bands do not ignore the lawn at all. They dedicated songs to us and even came back to say hello! So if you ever get a chance to be in the lawn and see amazing bands, just do it!

Before I jump back into the sad reality of summer coming to end, let me just tell you how amazing Blink-182, All American Rejects and A Day to Remember sounded! They sounded exactly like their albums and were amazing to see live!

Anywho, summer is a time of relaxation and renewal before another year of hard work begins once again. It is time to have one more big summer celebration! Time to embrace school and studying! Woohoo! I say this jokingly of course, because just because summer is over doesn't mean the end of the world, but all I think about is "Yoohoo! Big summer blow out!" By blow out, I mean having a barbeque with friends and/or family, going to the beach one last time or going on a final trip to a theme park/water park before next semester starts. I know a ton of people are reading the new Harry Potter book and went to the event at the bookstores throughout the world.

Whether you are a wizard or witch or even an adventurer, doing the things you love and getting out there is what makes your summer worth it. Being you and using your present time to the fullest is what makes your summer yours. That is all about you and what you love to do. So at the end of summer 2016, don't let it end with sorrow, but rather let it end with a bang and pop full of life! Have a wonderful school year and work year!
