5 Things To Do Before Summer Ends

I feel like summer just started like, two days ago, but days go by quickly when you're having fun or sleeping.

5 Things To Do Before Summer Ends
Jacqueline Murawski

It's coming. Let's face it, summer (as most would agree as being the best season out of all of the seasons of the year) will eventually be coming to an end. Where did summer go? I feel like summer just started like, two days ago, but days go by quickly when you're having fun or sleeping. Both are just as important.

So, instead of focusing on the negative side of summer ending, I want to discuss some awesome, exciting things that you can do before summer officially ends...

1. Start binge watching your favorite TV show on Netflix.

Let's be real here. During the school year, you probably don't have that much time to spend watching your favorite shows other than you having the typical "study break" in between classes, at night or on the weekends. But that's not nearly enough time to fully enjoy and connect with your favorite TV series. So, get caught up on some episodes (or let's be real, seasons) of "Lost" or "The Office" and have a Netflix and chill day with your significant other, your friends, family or maybe just by yourself.

2. Get creative.

Ahhh, this is my absolute favorite thing to do during the summer. So, here is an idea. Maybe you've been wanting to pursue one of musical interests such as guitar, vocals (my personal favorite), piano, the banjo or literally any musical instrument. Or maybe you really want to start a YouTube channel to express some of your own personal interests! Or maybe you really love learning new recipes and you want new ideas on what to make! Well, I got the website for you! Go check out allrecipes for some quick, easy, tasty recipes! Just remember, this is your time to shine, it's better to start when you're free from homework and work! So, take the time to enjoy what you please.

3. Go on some adventures.

Yeah, I know, this sounds super cliche, but going on some pretty memorable adventures during the summer is actually so important and valuable. Maybe you and your bae can hit up Six Flags, go for a hike, go to the beach or even go fishing. Or if you're single (like me, so don't feel bad), ask some of your friends to also join your adventures to make some long-lasting memories. The more spontaneous, the better!

4. Spend time with your family.

I feel like the summer is the prime time to catch up with everyone you haven't seen in a really long time. Fear not, because summer gives you the perfect excuse to spend quality time with those who matter most: your family. Take the time to make some special memories with your family, because before you know it, you will be back at work or school in just a few weeks.

5. Take the time to discover or rediscover your passions.

Summer gives us time to rest, but for some of us, we take advantage of resting too much before getting back into the swing of things. So try gradually getting back into a routine and remind yourself of what matters most to you. Who knows? Maybe you'll be even more driven now than before!

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.
