Summer procrastination at its finest.

Unless you're superhuman, you most likely have fallen victim to procrastination at least some point this summer, and, inevitably, even the fun stuff gets put off and forgotten. The time to dream up fun adventures for the summer is gone. Now, it's go time. Get ready for the best two-week summer of your life, kids.

1. Go on a road trip


Grab some of your best friends, stock up on your favorite snacks, and hit the road. There's no better way to end the summer than driving towards your next adventure with the windows down and the radio music blaring. Whether it's venturing across the country, or just taking a quick trip to the nearest beach, there's still time to do something that makes your summer something special.

2. Binge-watch a show everyone talks about


You've been in the dark for long enough, and your couch is waiting for you. Quit bumming around your house and get to work watching T.V!

3. Reconnect with an old friend


You know the one person you've put off hanging out with? Summer is almost over, and let's face it, you're not getting any younger. Who knows where you'll both be next summer! If maintaining a relationship with this person is important to you, you're rapidly approaching "now or never" territory.

4. Meet someone new


As small as your hometown, or as empty as the campus, might be, odds are you still haven't met everyone. Camp out at your favorite coffee shop or even chat up the person behind you in line at the grocery store (anything but Tinder, really). Who knows? Maybe this person will join you on some more summer bucket-list adventures.

5. Get a jump start on next semester's course work


I'm sorry, the joke was painful for me, too.

6. Go skydiving


In the words of Shia Leboueff, "Just do it." Don't let your dreams be dreams, yesterday you said tomorrow and yadda yadda. Google it, sign up for it, and take the plunge. Just don't look down until you're already out of the plane and hurdling down towards the earth.

7. Go stargazing


Nothing says summer like staring up into the night sky while being eaten alive by mosquitos. While this one definitely takes the cake for a cliche, it's actually really cool. Plus, it only takes one clear night to cross this one off. Bonus points if you watch the eclipse on August 21st, too.

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.
