With less than two weeks left in the semester, it’s time to start thinking about summer and all of the fun it can hold… Here are just a few things you should be sure to do this summer to make it the best it can be! 

 

1. Spend as much time with your family and friends as you can

These are the people you miss most when you’re away at school and now you can finally see them after several long months apart. It’s always fun to hang out with your friends, but also be sure to make time for your family! Your mom and dad will have missed you just as much as your besties, if not more. 

 

2. Take several beach trips

There’s nothing better than a little sand and sun to unwind after a long year filled with work, work, and more work!

 

3. Road trip! 

This is one of the best ways to reconnect with your friends after not seeing them for a long time! It gives you plenty of time to talk about the year you’ve have had, what you want to do this summer, eat great food, see new places, and of course, gossip!  

 

4. Take pictures

A picture is worth a thousand words and is the best way to keep your summer memories near and dear. They can be hung up in your dorm when you head back to school so you will always be reminded of the great summer you had!

 

5. Spend time outside

Go for a walk, take a hike, sit by the water, or even tan by the pool— being outside is the best form of relaxation. There’s nothing a little sunshine and warmth can’t fix! 

 

Be sure to have the best summer of your lives, Collegietes! See you next semester!
