74 ideas to add to your summer bucket list
Kartik Kumar

Home from college this summer? Bored as heck? I relate to this all too well which is why I am sharing some fun ideas to add to your bucket list for summer 2018! I think everyone should live each and every day to the fullest. Yeah we know, you miss your college, we all do. But guess what? One, you won't be there until the fall so this is a silly thing to get worked up over. Two, your parents and family have missed you just as much and really do not want to hear about how much you "hate" your hometown. It is super possible to love two places at once. Just have fun and enjoy some well deserved time off. It is never too late to turn things around.

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.

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.
