Time during summer break is easily wasted. A day turns into a week, which then turns into a month, and then before you know it summer break is over. Here are some tips on how not to waste time between work and vacations this summer!

1. Catch up with old friends. Summer is the perfect time to see friends from high school, everyone at least stops by home at some point. Oftentimes, this can happen by running to the grocery store, the local coffee shop, or even the gas station. Set time and catch up with those people who got you through the rough years. Reconnect!

2. Detox. Take a cleanse, take a break, take a chill pill. School is stressful, if you can take a week off to detox do it. You need a chance for a break and give yourself sometime. Even if that's only a day or two.

3. Be creative. There are so many art options that you finally have the time do in the summer. Paint pottery, do one of those wine and paint classes, or just go to your craft store and find a new hobby. Do something that doesn't take all of your energy and can help relax you.

4. Go somewhere. Summer is the time for fun. Between internships, summer jobs, and whatever else you can possibly do over the summer, you also need to make time for beach trips and weekend getaways.

5.Visit college friends. The best part about college is you meet friends from just about everywhere. However, that means they can be really far away too. Try to make a trip with a group of friends and meet at someone's house or somewhere in the middle for everyone.

Make the best of your summer. Time has a way of creeping up on you. Make sure you make the most of every moment.
