Summer is still a while away, but that doesn't mean you can't start developing your plans. My freshman year of college is ending in about a month, and I can't wait for summer break. Since I have to keep myself occupied from the beginning of May to the end of August, I want to make those months fun and memorable. Listed below are some of my plans for this summer!

Get a tattoo

Last summer, I was going to get a tattoo but never ended up scheduling a time to do it. I'm actually glad I didn't get that tattoo because while in college, I discovered another idea. Now that I have found a design that has a stronger meaning to me, I can't wait to make definite plans to get it this summer.

Binge watch season three of "Stranger Things"

After watching the recent trailer for season three of "Stranger Things", I can hardly wait for it to return to Netflix. Even though I will most likely be working on the Fourth of July, that won't stop me from pulling an all-nighter to watch season three. And let's be honest, binge-watching is part of the experience.

Work with friends

Isabella Hornick

I absolutely love my job. I even told my two closest friends and sister to apply where I work because I love it so much. Working at the Turkey Hill Experience last summer was one of the best things I've ever done. I made a bunch of new friends, and I'm so excited to go back this summer to work with them and make new memories.

Catch up with high school friends

Emily Snyder

Despite the fact that I've made new friends at college, I'm excited to go back home and meet up with some of my high school friends. I can't wait to sit down and just talk with them in person. From discussing college to telling funny stories to reminisce, I'm going to treasure the time I'm home to visit these friendships from four years.

Learn to play the guitar

It has been a huge goal of mine to learn to play an instrument well. I already have a guitar in my hands, so now it's time to learn how to play it. Since I won't be tied up with schoolwork, I'll be able to set aside time every day to teach myself. Hopefully, by the move in of fall semester, I'll have the guitar somewhat mastered.

Exercise daily

Last summer, I fell in love with exercising and was really happy with my health/fitness life. College has definitely taken a toll on me, both mentally and physically, so I'm ready to have more time dedicated to working out. I'm also looking forward to actually making my own meals instead of going to the dining hall everyday.

Spend more time with family

Richard Hornick

After attended college far from home for a year, I'm happy I get to spend more time with my sister and parents this summer. They are all huge inspirations in my life, so having them close to me this summer will only make me inspired every day to work on my passions in life.

Make new recipes

Like I mentioned above, I can't wait to make my own meals. With that comes looking for new recipes to try. Since I'll be moving in an apartment next semester with a kitchen, I need to work on discovering the best dishes to make. I want to get more into cooking, and the summer is full of opportunities to practice and perfect new recipes.

 Leave stress behind

Guen Baker

I truly can't wait to not have to worry about schoolwork for about four months. After two semesters filled with constant stress from classes, this summer is dedicated to relaxing. It will be nice to finally breathe and enjoy life without the responsibility to study for multiple tests and write three papers at once.

These are just a few of my summer plans, and I can't wait to make this summer memorable with my family and friends. Here's to summer 2019!

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.
