It's that time again! The glorious long days of summer are coming to an end and school is right around the corner. Every year around this time I find myself regretting my decisions to stay inside and watch Netflix most days. This year I have put my foot down! I have decided that I am going to adventure out this summer and experience some good summer fun! Here are some ideas that you can take advantage of while there is still time.

1. Go Backpacking

Nothing says adventure like backpacking the great outdoors. This is a great way to experience nature, but also a great way to get pulled outside of your comfort zone. There is no option for "fancy" camping and no chance of getting Netflix to occupy you!


2. Try Out Cliff Diving

This is one that is not for the faint of hearts. If you have never done this, there is no doubt that this will be an experience. This is adventure for those of you that love water and love getting that adrenaline rush.


3. Take A Road Trip

It's not everyday that you get a chance to get together with your friends and drive cross country. Once school starts back there will be no time for such spontaneity. Go out, take a risk, and end up where ever the road takes you!


4. Go Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Although not as intense as some of the other activities listed, stand up paddle boarding requires a modest amount of skill. Once getting balanced while standing, it is a fun laid back activity that allows you to chill out and appreciate the things around you.


5. Take A Canopy Zip Line Tour

Not only do you get to zip around high in the air, but you also get to see some amazing views. Zip lining is something that allows the participant to get that adrenaline rush, but also hang out and enjot the ride!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
