"So the annual problem for our generation is finding a good way to spend it, like maybe.."
-Phineas and Ferb
It's. Still. Winter.
The bitter cold is getting to the best of us and we've all had it. Admit it, you've contemplated booking a flight to a tropical island and never returning to avoid the tundra of winter..If you haven't, trust me, I have. However, sooner then you think it'll be sweet summer time. The first day it breaks 60 degrees you know you'll see car windows cranked down, girls in high rise shorts and boys skateboarding through the streets. With thoughts of warmer weather distracting us from our daily responsibilities, summer could not come sooner.
The best part of the summertime is grabbing your best friends and creating memories to last a lifetime. So why not start planning your summer adventures now?
