5 Things I'm Looking Forward to this Summer

In This Article:

Spring semester is finally coming to a close. It has been a long, tiring journey, but very soon responsibilities will be over, the sun will be shining, and we can spend long nights at the beach, rather than long nights at the lib

1. Hanging out with Friends

With this semester being my second to last semester at USF, I have been more busy than ever. I've been working on finishing up higher level science class, while studying for the MCAT, and beginning to apply for medical school. Which means, I haven't had time at all to hang out with friends. I am so excited for the sleep overs, the movie nights, the brunches. Just seeing people other than in classes for once!

2. The Beach

I live in Florida, and I can't remember the last time that I went to the beach. I made it a goal to go to the beach at least twice a month this summer. I grew up near the water, and it feels so strange to not spend my summer at the beach? Plus, at the end of last summer I adopted by puppy, and I am so excited to have him experience Davis Island's dog park!

3. Reading

Reading and writing has always been a large part of my life. Thankfully, I have had the opportunity to write for the Odyssey at USF throughout my college career, and it has definitely kept me sane in times of stress. However, reading has always been my favorite pass time. I still keep on buying so many books, with no time to read. My whole library will be accompanying me to the beach this summer!

4. Sleeping in!

I am definitely a morning person. I like waking up and knowing I have the whole day ahead of me. However, I had three 8ams this semester, and it has definitely taken a toll on me. I wake up exhausted and I come home exhausted. I am 21 years old. This is no way to live. I am going to take full advantage of being able to sleep in this summer.

5. Having no responsibility

In the end, this summer I am looking forward to a lack of responsibility. I don't want to HAVE to do anything. This summer I am going to do what I WANT and nothing else. This is my summer!!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
