I'm Using This Summer To Finally Relax And Be Stress Free

I never thought I would actually be counting down the days until I get to leave college and go home. I love being in college, don't get me wrong. My boyfriend is here, my friends are here, and I have the independence I've always wanted. On the other hand, though, I am so ready to be home.

You don't really hear about the bad things about college, like the seemingly endless homework assignments and how much time really goes into studying for the hard ass exams. I never really knew how to study before coming to college and I'm not even sure if I actually know how to study now, but I'm definitely finding out as I go.

I am so beyond ready to be done with this semester... ready to not be stressed all the time and to finally relax with my friends back home and spend time with my family, though it's crazy to me that when I come back to the school in the fall I'll be a sophomore (how did that happen???)

I'm seriously planning on having the best summer ever. I refuse to sit around at home doing nothing all day everyday, not when there's so much to do! For winter break I had an excuse, it's cold and gross out and I just want to stay in my comfy bed and not move. Summer, though, that just won't be acceptable.

Go to the beach.

I am so planning on going on day trips to the beach with my friends. Going in the water or just hanging out with some friends with some good music is going to be so relaxing and I am so ready.

Hang by the pool.

Me and my friends are constantly at the pool, playing some dumb games where someone always gets hurt, or just chilling and tanning.

Relax and watch that show you keep putting off.

Yes, there are going to be those days where you will lay in bed, but let's try to not make to too often.

I have so much planned to do when I get home, but most of all, I AM READY TO DO NOTHING!! Doesn't that sound amazing?

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
