9 Summer Treats To Sweeten Up The Summer
Start writing a post

I am a big believer in the idea that the best things in life are sweet, and summer is surely one of those things. A break from school, warmer weather, and longer days make life just a little more fun. Sometimes we want a sweet treat on a hot summer day or a summery dessert to finish off a late summer night. While winter holidays tend to monopolize desserts, there is no reason we can't enjoy a treat in the summertime.

1. Popsicle 

Perfect for after swimming or on days where ice cream seems 'too heavy'. My favorite tends to be coconut or mango- a flavor that screams summer.

2. Fro-yo 

Frozen yogurt is one of my favorite summer friend dates. It's perfect, especially when you can pick from a wide variety of fruit toppings to add and enjoy an afternoon with a friend.

3. S'mores 

S'mores are the PERFECT end to a long summer night. Roasting a s'more over a bonfire with friends, iconic.

4. Local Ice Cream Parlors 

Wayyyyy better than store bought. Take a nice walk on a summer evening and enjoy some hometown ice cream with your friends and family.

5. Fruit And Cool Whip 

For the nights you tell yourself that you'll be 'healthier'.

6. Banana Split

It's a fun classic and it has a banana in it, so hey that counts right?!

7. Milkshake 

Extra points if you dip french fries in the milkshake.

8. Cheesecake 

It's like cake but it's cold and summery (and yummy!)

9. Chocolate-Covered Fruit 

Pop some chocolate covered blueberries or bananas in the fridge and I promise you will thank yourself later.

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.

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.
