In just a couple weeks we will all resume the hustle and bustle of fall semester and then spring semester. This summer has been a whirl wind of emotion, exhaustion, and lessons learned. There were so many things I wanted to do, and so little time to accomplish it all. Now that school is only two weeks away, I have great feelings of regret that I didn't get to do so many things.

Things I wish I had done this summer:

1. Gone swimming every week

I think I went twice and both times were with work and I was responsible for watching children, so does that really count?

2. Visited my friends in Lubbock and other TX cities.

I promise I still love y'all <3

3. Watched more movies.

(Still haven't seen The Boss, how upsetting is that??)

4. Went on weekend trips to SA, Waco, Austin etc.

I just wanted to see Magnolia Market, is that too much to ask?

5. Floated the Guadalupe.

Yeah I probably would have gotten super sunburn, but isn't that part of it?

6. Saved up enough money to buy a new iPad.

Let's be honest, this one was a long shot to begin with. Saving money is not my forte

7. Done more crafts.

I think I made one canvas. So much for all that fabric I bought for a quilt!

8. Organized more of my apartment.

Please don't look in my closet, I'm trying not to either.

9. Spent time trying new hole in the wall food places in Abilene.

Like I just love food, I know there's some good places around town.

10. Went to the midnight release of "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child".

I still can't believe I didn't go.

11. Took some time off my jobs for me time.

I got a random morning here or there, but honestly I wish I had gotten to take some time for me.

While I wish I had gotten to do these things, I also did other fun things, things I don't regret. Such as: Staying out late to drive around the city hitting up Poke Stops with my roommate, figuring out that Outback steak house is probably my new favorite restaurant, and learning just how much pressure and responsibility I can handle at one time. Yes, I didn't get to do some things that I wanted, but I dare not call it a wasted summer. I would call it a summer of learning true responsibility. And I don't mind that at all.
