Spending summer as a college student can be a blast but at the same time, you might not know what you will do with yourself. I have not had this feeling with summer before until this summer and it is driving me crazy. Once school ended, I felt like I was still missing an assignment. I felt like there was more I could be doing.

I listened to the Gals on the Go Podcast today, which is hosted by Youtubers, Brooke Miccio and Danielle Carolan. Brooke is a new college grad and Danielle just finished her sophomore year. They go into detail about different ways to be productive during the summer and how the best way to get the most of your day. These tips are what they talked about and also what I think you can do to spend your summer.

Wake up earlier

Although you are no longer in class or on campus it is essential to keep up with waking up earlier. Don't let the urge to want to sleep in get in the way of enjoying a full day to yourself. Getting up around 9 or 10 a.m. will make you feel like you have the day to do whatever you please and be productive.

Get on that grind, don’t let it stop now that school is over

With school out, you feel like you don't have anything to do and while you don't have exams and tests, you can get a summer job for the summer to make that extra cash. I have an internship and a job, so I definitely stay busy, but I also will make time for me to rejuvenate.

Spend more time outside

Don't stay in bed all day watching Netflix, get outside enjoy the summer weather because it is not here forever. In the fall, you'll be wishing it was summer again.

Get together with family

It is easy to want to be on your own for the summer and just have your time, but while you are in class you hardly see them and wish you could spend more time with them. The summer is the best opportunity to do so, don't take it for granted.

Keep a routine

Wanting to not follow a routine can be so easy because you feel like you don't need to, but you should still keep up with one in order to stay productive. It can be just going to a coffee shop to refresh and check your emails. If you have a summer class, spend that time to work on it and keep the momentum going. Even planning to go to the gym four times a week can be a good routine.

Stay in touch with your friends

It is easy to put off plans with your friends because you feel like you have all summer, but before you know it, it will be over. Make time for your friends and just enjoy them; set a specific day to do something and make the best of it.

Plan a small trip

A trip doesn't have to be big or extravagant. Plan a trip with your friends to go to the next city or to go camping. It isn't about how much money you spend, but perhaps the memories you make with your close ones. Going to the lake can be so much fun, swimming, having good laughs, good company, even making smores? It is the best idea for a weekend getaway.

Basically, it is easy to get caught up with wanting a chill summer, but make the best of it and enjoy it the best you can.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.
