A few months into summer and you're itchy to get back to school. You miss your friends, you miss your campus, you miss the local restaurants. Don't let your summer pass in a routine of gym (or eat), tan (or sleep), laundry (or work). Go back to school with funny stories to tell your roomie about late night drives and day time adventures. Now, I'm a little biased because I live in good ole' South Carolina, so my adventures may be different than yours, but take time to explore your city!

1. Take a day trip

Take a golf trip somewhere new. Or putt putt. Go to a local historical sight. If you live in South Carolina, I highly recommend visiting the zoo in Columbia. Especially if you babysit.

2. Go see the water

Go to a beach you've never been to. Go to a river and take a float and a friend and sail down into sunset. Sit out on the lake a fish... for another beer.

3. Don't pick your nose... Pick a hobby

Try that one thing you've always thought about. From unicycling to fiddling on the violin.

4. Be the next Hitchcock and make a movie

You don't actually have to be Hitchcock but get your friends and make a lame movie that you can always laugh about.

5. Smell the roses... And take a hike

Greenville has some beautiful trails. Take a sandwich and have a picnic over a waterfall.

6. Kick back...

And see the lamest movie the theater has to offer. You can eat your weight in sour patch kids and avoid 103 degree weather and 90% humidity.

7. Cruise on down to the Big Mo

Take a note from Danny Zucko and lay some moves on the cute girl next door.

8. Get frozen

And not the Disney movie Frozen... Try every ice cream place within thirty miles of you. And always try a new flavor.
