I tend to think of entertaining and fun ideas every summer however, I rarely ever follow through with those ideas! This summer, I have decided to encourage myself to follow through with my plans and not regret it once the weather drops. Here are five things every person should do this summer!

1. A Picnic!

Although it's quite cliche, it's a must-do every summer. Either spontaneous or planned, a picnic is a greta way to spend less money whilst spending a great amount of time with friends and people you have yet to catch up with.

2. An Evening at an Amusement Park

Towards the end of June and beginning of July, most amusement parks stress fireworks on Friday evenings or nights. Amusement parks are more exciting and thrilling when it's almost dark outside! Try out a roller coaster ride with your friends and grab summer treats after!

3. Spending a Day to Fill In Your Calendar


I advise everyone to use a calendar during summer vacation to make sure you're not forgetting a hangout, vacation, road trip, and etc. Using your calendar will organize your time spent towards your job/internship, hangouts/plans, trips, and studies.

4. Hiking

Try out a new place when hiking or revisit your old hiking adventure! Hiking is a great way to either spend some quality time alone or with a close friend. There's also a different type of thrill in adventuring out to the unknown!

5. A Movie Night at Home

Sometimes it's nice to just watch one of your favorite movies at home or invite some friends over to binge-watch all of your favorite or least favorite movies.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
