The 4 Best Things about summer

Summer, in my opinion, is the best time of year. Every summer I find myself saying "wow, that was the greatest summer of my life," but somehow, it seems to get better every year. So, why is summer so great? Here are a few reasons:

1. The Weather

As someone who has lived in the North all of their life, summer weather is a God send. You don't need a parka, and can actually enjoy sitting outside. Plus, if you're spending all your time tanning, at the pool, or at the lake, your life is basically perfect.

2. All the extra time

For most of the people I know, including myself, your schedule during the school year is filled to the brim, and you're lucky if you can balance school, extracurricular activities, work, and a social life without feeling overwhelmed. During the summer, somehow even when working full time I find myself with an increased amount of time, which is incredibly refreshing.

3. The food

Fresh fruit, ice cream, and bbq's, count me in! During the summer, if you're not eating watermelon and making fresh popsicles, you are doing something wrong.

4. Adventures

During the summer, adventuring is key! What better way to have fun with your friends and make amazing memories. Cliff jumping, lake days, exploring your city or town, hiking, the list goes on and on!!

Summer is the greatest time of the year, in my opinion. Maybe it's better for some people more than others, but it's really only as good as you make it!

If you have been following me for a long time, then you know I write about two main things: relateable articles and communication media based articles. Now, it is time for me to combine the two. For those of you that don't know, I am a radio DJ at IUP, and I DJ for a show called BPM (Beats Per Minute). It is an EDM, or electronic dance music, based show and I absolutely love it.

As any other person on this planet, it sometimes can be hard to find the good in things.

Finding the good in any situation can help you to find happiness in some of the simplest and unexpected places.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
