Summer Time Is Your Time!

Don't let the Heat beat You

Summer Time Is Your Time!
Padi

School is over and now it is time for real fun! Summer is here and there are plenty of things to do so do not let this time pass you by. When the sun wakes up, get up and greet it with these few ways to get out and get moving. Boredom should never set in when the sun is smiling!

The Circus

The circus is a great way to bring out your inner child. Go and watch, laugh and enjoy! There is no rush to get to sleep for school the next day so you can relax and soak it all in!

Summer Concert Series

In most major cities, there are bound to be artist passing through to promote a new album, or possibly ding a throwback tour. Look it up on local town calendars and you'd be surprised at how much of your favorite music you may have almost missed! For my fellow Buffalonians, do not forget about the Canal Side concerts; I hope to see you there!

Beaches

You look back at pictures of last summer and you look in the mirror and think, oh geez! My color! It happens to everyone. White, Black, light, and dark, every winter a little color gets drained from the body. Use this summer sun to have fun and get a beautiful new sun-kissed glow and ride the waves! For those who do not tan and immediately burn, I'm sorry! Stock up on SPF and hope for the best.

Water Wars

Okay, I know, it is HOT! In the summer, depending on where you live, it can get up to triple-digit degrees! This solution is my personal favorite. HAVE A WATER WAR! The more people you have, the more fun it is. This brings me back to my childhood because I come from a big family. With all the cousins I have, getting together enough to have a war was never a problem. It welcomes family bonding, and cools you down at the same time!


Cook Outs

\

Speaking of family bonding, why not make a few phone calls and bring out the grill? Food is always something to be happy about. This gives time for everyone to catch up, games to be played, and maybe even a pool to be filled!

Bike Riding

They say you never forget how to ride a bike. Well, let your muscle memory work for you and gather a group of friends and take an adventure. Biking is great because you get to sight see, and you get a constant breeze. Not to mention, it is actually healthy for you! Exercise that is fun? Sign me up!

Travel

Who doesn't get excited when they hear the words "road trip"? Gather two or three friends and pack the car and head where ever your hearts desire. Make it a chain road trip, and take three cars of friends and family and head to a random destination. As long as there is money for tolls, gas in the tank, and snacks, what can stop you? Make summer memories last, and do not waste this wonderful time of your life. Young, old, or middle-aged, it doesn't matter! Everyone deserves some fun! So dial up the shenanigans and laugh it up! IT IS SUMMER!

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
