With summer quickly passing by, most of us can agree that we've spent a majority of our summer either working or complaining about all the things we want to do but haven't done yet. Though it's important to make money, and as broke college students we sure as hell need it, we also have to spend some time making great memories with our BFFs. With a few weeks left, here are a few ideas on how to spend the rest of the season!

1. Have a bonfire.

2. Get up early one morning and make yourself run one mile. Prove to yourself that you can do it, and I promise afterward you’ll feel a million times better.

3. Try a new dish. Start expanding your horizons and incorporate foods you would normally be afraid to eat. The worst thing that could happen is that you hate it, but hey, at least you tried!

4. Spend a day at the zoo.

5. Eat breakfast in bed.

6. Go kayaking/paddle boarding.

7. Jump in your car and DRIVE! Get lost, find a few cool places and have fun!

8. Find an activity that relaxes you and try doing it a few times a week. Sometimes we all need something that distracts us from reality for a little bit.

9. Plan a trip. It can be a weekend getaway to the city or a week in the tropics. Seeing the world is so important and even if you can’t get up and go right now, there’s no harm in planning a few months or even a year in advance. It’ll give you something to look forward to.

10. Get lost in conversation until 4 a.m.

11. Thank the people who listen to your crap on the daily. Make sure they know that you appreciate everything they do for you.

12. Reach out to an old friend and see how they’re doing.

13. GO TO THE BEACH!

14. Go to a baseball game.

15. Go for a long hike.

16. Find a habit that helps reduce stress—running, yoga, painting, something that makes you feel calm when the world feels so chaotic—and do it.

17. Go to a concert.

18. Take a trip to the farmers' market.

19. Go on a social media hiatus and soak up the last few beautiful days the summer has to offer.

20. Find the nearest county fair and go to it with a few of your friends. Eat as many fried Oreo's as you want and go on every ride. It’s nice to feel like a little kid, even if it’s only for a few hours.

21. Read a book on the beach.

22. Sleep under the stars.

23. Visit a friend you haven’t seen in a long time.

24. Go mini-golfing.

25. Make s'mores.

26. Wish that this moment could last forever.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
