The Seven Must-Do Summer Activities Before Summer Ends

1. Go Mini Golfing … At night

 I mean, glow-in-the-dark mini golf? Who can resist? Throw in a FratMusic inspired playlist in the background, and you’re one step between Chuck E. Cheese and Electric Daisy Carnival. Rave and scratch on.

2. Fruit Picking

… Or Eating. So many fruits bloom in the summer! Try strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, cherries, peaches … The endless eating possibilities- I mean picking- is endless!

3. Releasing Your Inner Beach Bum

This is a must! Especially if you are stuck inside all week long, and especially if your body has been quivering and quenching for some Vitamin D.

4. Don’t Let It Rain On Your Parade: Go See A New Summer Movie

Oooooooooh, bananaaaaaaaaaa. This is what rainy days are for. I’m so excited to see this! Take that, Minion haters!

5. Catch Up With Your Ole High School- Or Middle, Or Elementary, Or Day Care- Buds

Because your crew is as timeless as the Schulz Peanuts Squad led by Alpha Male Snoopy, the way you catch up has to be as timeless as summer can get. There are loads of ways to catch up like this rambunctious gang, but I always vote for a good beach, lake, or park picnic.

6. Summer Sales

Doesn’t the word “Semi-Annual Sale” ignite within you a huge rush of adrenaline? Only one way to beat this, and it’s shopping until you drop. Can’t wait to buy new clothes for the fall! But, haven’t you noticed, that everywhere you turn a new store emerges, but everytime you check your wallet it somehow diminishes? Summer sales put a whole new spin on back-to-school supply shopping.

And last… But certainly not least…

7. Devouring All Of Mom’s Cooking

Is there any one picture that can encompass all of mom’s recipes that hold a special place in your heart? From her Taco Tuesday’s, to her cheesiest lasagna, or her sopa de frijoles negros, whatever your mom cooks that embodies her cultural background, upbringing, Food Network watching (or maybe just her capacity to not bring certain plates in Julia Child’s cookbook to flames), it certainly has never tasted as good. You think, “Maybe if I stare into the pot long enough, the food will come right into my mouth.” This newfound appreciation and borderline obsession pleases Mom, but you know it probably is slightly the product of Haverford Dining Center’s less than… Palatable menus.

See you next month, Fords, and remember to make the most out of what is left of summer!
