22 Things To Do This Summer Before The School Year Arrives Again

It is nearing the end of the semester, and everyone knows what that means. You are graduating from college or high school, moving onto the next level of schooling, or maybe transferring to a new school. Summer is approaching, which means time to try new things before coming back to another year or even starting your life with your brand new degree.

Here are new things to do during the summer before returning to another mundane year:

1. Go to a concert.

Pick your favorite artist, grab a friend, and be able to say that you have a summer highlight.

2. Take up a new hobby.

Whether it is crochet, painting, hiking, or even bike riding, take the chance and learn some new skills.

3. Go to a midnight premiere.

A lot of times people don't want to go to a midnight premiere because of the late times. Speaking from experience, it is a whole other experience considering that it's filled mostly with people who are fans of the movie.

4. Go to an amusement park.

Grab some friends, and go on the scariest ride there. Learn to conquer your fears.

5. Attend or host a bonfire.

Who doesn't love a giant fire?

6. Go to the beach.

Living in Jersey, at least every other weekend you can find me down the shore.

7. Go kayaking.

See how much you can trust your friends by being in a little boat together.

8. Go camping.

Who doesn't love nature and animals?

9. DIY with your BFFs.

Make some matching tie-dye.

10. Go to the State Fair.

Carnival food, rides, games, prizes! All in fun with your friends!

11. Go to a diner at 1 in the morning.

Late night conversations can be fun and interesting.

12. Take a walk around town with your friends and see what your town really has to offer.

You're so used to living there that you pass some hidden gems every day without even realizing it.

13. Take a road trip/vacation with your friends or family.

Just you, them, and open road.

14. Throw a picnic.

Make it Pinterest worthy.

15. Go berry picking.

Who doesn't love fresh hand-picked berries? You can't get more fresh than straight off the bush.

16. Get involved in a summer romance.

Find that special someone... for the summer.

17. Learn a new language.

French, Spanish, German, Italian, Latin, etc. The list is endless when it comes to languages.

18. Throw a pool party.

Swimming, friends, and day in the sun.

19. Throw a sleepover.

Meet up with those friends you haven't seen all school year. I am pretty sure they miss you, and this is a way to catch up.

20. Spend time with the family.

Time goes by so fast, and if you have younger siblings, they grow up so fast as well.

21. Go to a food truck festival.

So many different foods to try!

22. Learn to do a gymnastic trick.

Backflip, cartwheel, round off, front flip, etc. It may come in handy some day. You never know.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
