Summer Bucket-List: College Style
Rescue Humor

Nearly everyone has a bucket-list full of things they want to do at some point in their life. Below, is a summer bucket-list that is a perfect fit for a college student!

1. Attend a Music Festival.

Listening to music is always fun, but being with friends listening to live music and enjoying the real life fun is better!

2. Sleep in ALL DAY.

As college students, we have been waiting for the start of summer vacation so that we can catch up on sleep. This may mean sleeping all day, which is totally fine!

3. Eat home-cooked meals.

Less than halfway through the school year, students start to get burned out on college food. It is more than likely the same twice a week if not more. Enjoy the home-cooked meals all through summer vacation!

4. Have Mom do your laundry.

This is something that we have been waiting for. Doing our laundry was not that hard, but we would much rather have our mom do it!

5. Give pets love!

This is the moment we all have been waiting for as college students! Being away from our pets is probably the hardest thing to do. Now, we have all summer to give our pets the love and attention they deserve!

6. Let your parents pay.

College students always say they are broke, which is true! Even though we might be broke, we still manage to have money to go out with friends once in awhile. Summer is the time to try and talk your parents into paying for you when you go out!

7. Spend time with family.

Summer vacation is the perfect opportunity to bond with your family. Make a family game night, or even have a family bonfire!

8. Catch up with friends.

We may have made a lot of new friends in college, but it is always nice to catch up with old friends. Both of you will be on summer vacation, which means you will have lots of time to catch up and hangout!

9. Shop in your hometown.

Shopping with friends somewhere near campus is always fun, but being able to go shopping at your favorite stores back home is somehow relieving.

10. Be adventurous.

Summer is meant for fun! Try something new and fun. Go out of your comfort zone and be bold!

A majority of college students would agree that their summer bucket-list is somewhat similar to this!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
