Here's To The Summer Nights

Why the summer of 2016 will be the best one yet.

Here's To The Summer Nights
Marais Davis

With all of this unpredictable weather lately, I thought a prelude to this summer was a definite must. Not only are we back from school, but we are ready to reclaim the town as our own. So hang on to your shades, summer of 2016 is about to be a good one.

This summer is going to be full of sitting around a fire in a hoodie and jeans. It's going to be about reminiscing with old friends, and making new ones. Here's to working all day, then still finding the energy to tear up the town with your friends. Summer is about driving with your windows down blasting your summer playlist. It's about getting those awful tan lines on your feet from wearing flip flops 24/7. Even if you aren't a big country music fan, once June hits, you will be. There's something different about listening to country music in the summer versus any other season. The songs become relatable and idealistic. (I mean who wouldn't want to meet a hot cowboy and have a summer fling with them?)

This summer will be full of doing things with people you love. Go on ice cream dates with your significant other. If you're like me and single a majority of the time, there is no shame in going with your friends. It's all about the experience. Go watch fireworks, plan a picnic. Go boating, have a water balloon fight. Invest in a hammock and a good book. The little things like this are the epitome of the season itself.

This summer should be about living in the moment. Screw the diet, get that funnel cake at the fair. Go see your favorite band play. You'll remember an awesome concert with your friends versus a day at work. Go meet your friends even if you're tired, it will be worth it.

The summer of 2016 is also going to be full of adventure. It's going to be full of mini-road trips with friends, where so many memories will be made. Here's to trying new things this summer. Try cliff jumping, just so you can say you did it. Ride on the back of a motorcycle (with a helmet, of course), just for the thrill of it. Don't let your fears get in the way of living. Let's start crossing things off our bucket lists.

The summer of 2016 is going to be full of nights we are going to remember long after this year. It's going to be full of all the great things that make up summer, plus more. Even after all of the parting ways and goodbyes, let's be able to look back on this summer and laugh at all the crazy things we did. The summer of 2016 is going to be sunny, adventurous, memorable, and I, for one, cannot wait. Here's to putting the summer of 2016 in the books.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
