Sadly, the summer is almost at an end with classes beginning again next month, or even this month if you don't go to Ramapo! Rather than getting super depressed about it and thinking the worst, I decided to come up with some last minute summer stops that you should visit regardless of whether or not you've already checked them out.

The Beach

I may not always be crazy about the beach, but it is a summer highlight that has to be done many times! Even if you already went six times and are bored of it, go for a seventh time! When it's freezing cold in the winter and you;re trapped in your dorm, you'll be glad you have vivid memories of chilling by the ocean and reading a nice book. Besides, when else do you have time to get a sick tan during the year?

The City

You can literally do anything in New York City. Check out some cool museums (don't worry, some are tailored to pop culture) see an amazing Broadway show (sorry, you can't see "Hamilton"), or go on a shopping spree. Don't feel like spending money? No worries, there are plenty of other things to do! Check out Central Park or wait in a standby line for any of the awesome late night shows that tape in the city such as "The Daily Show," "The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon," or "Late Night with Seth Meyers." If you get there early enough or already requested tickets in July, you're good to go!

The Zoo

Even if you;re totally not big on animals, you'd be surprised how relaxing it is simply being outdoors! While at the zoo, you can picnic or read by a bench rather than just looking at all the animals. You'll need to experience the outdoors as much as you can before the inconsistent autumn weather and the typically grueling winter weather, plus going to the zoo in any weather that isn't warm is pretty unbearable! (No, the "unbearable" in my previous sentence was not a pun.)

Your Friend's House

Don't just limit yourself to seeing all different places, see your hometown friends before you leave for school! Sure, you can't just invite yourself over your friend's house, but don't get too lazy and not hang out when the opportunity comes knocking! You're not always able to see your friends on winter and spring breaks from college unless everyone comes home frequently, so now is the time for your last hoorahs.

There it is, some last minute summer stops! Now all I have to do is take my own advice and not become a sponge for the rest of the summer watching Netflix all day!
