9 Places You Can Find College Kids In The Summer
Huffington Post

Looking for a college student while off campus during the summer? Look no further, here is a map of places they may be hiding.

1. Work Work Work.

Saving for all those tuition payments, books, school supplies, and money for the school year. Most students get a summer gig, something seasonal, but if you're really determined, you may have more than one job or a job you're carrying over part time during the semester.

2. Traveling.

Whether it is simple road trips on the weekends or weeks-long vacations out of the country, traveling is easiest during the summer as a college student. Loads of millennials prepare to tattoo their passports during the summer by creating new memories in many new places.

3. Working on their tan.

During the school year college students are so pale, so they have to take advantage of the beautiful sunshine outside. It doesn't matter if its poolside, laying on a beach, or just sitting outside - the young will always find a way to be in the sun.

4. Planted in front of a good show.

Netflix and chilling at its finest, college students tend to hibernate in the AC relaxing just about whenever they can and the summer is prime time for this. Summer reality shows like "Big Brother" and "The Challenge" are also great watches. After a long year of school and stress, a little mindless television never hurt anybody.

5. Preparing for the big return.

Towards the end of the summer, students begin to perfect their fall schedules and look into the finalizing details for books, parking passes, looking up professors reputations, getting in touch with their school friends, etc.

6. Trying something new and exciting.

From sky diving, parasailing, scuba diving, to new recipes, dances, tattoos and movies - new places and experiences are what make summer such a blast.

7. In summer courses.

I'm not sure how students do it, but so many have such a great work ethic and strive for even more accomplishments in the summer. You can find them back on campus, taking classes at a community college, or maybe even enrolled in an online program.

8. Catching up back home.

College kids love their friends from high school and the town they grew up in. You'll be able to find them with their old crew from school most likely blowing off some steam, sharing in old traditions, making new memories, and telling each other all the new gossip that is happening in their lives away from home. Being able to see family more often is also another great plus, especially if your college is far from home.

9. Spending money on everything fun they can think of.

While college students HAVE to save some of their money, the rest goes for things like paint nights, parties, clubs, beach trips, gas for road trips, pampering themselves, going out to eat, concerts, drinks, movies, souvenirs... the list goes on and on. They need to have things they can remember the summer by.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.

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.
