With fall semester sneaking up on us (sadly) I cannot help but think of all the things I would rather do than go back to school and the endless hours of school work. Summer is undoubtedly the best time of year. There is no school, the weather is nice and warm, and you get to lounge around and do whatever you want for 3 whole months! Who wouldn't enjoy that?! So when August arrives, we all know we are about to be tossed back into the harsh reality that is "school." School is a blast don't get me wrong! But, there isn't anything comparable to the warm summer months we all know and love so dearly. Here I have listed only a few of the many things I would rather do than go back to school, enjoy!

1. Go to the beach

Who doesn't love the beach? I would take the warm weather, sand and salty ocean water over homework and class ANY DAY!

2. Float around in the pool

What is better than floating around in the pool with a nice cold drink in your hand? Definitely NOT pop quizzes!

3. Go to the zoo

I am sure that any animal lover can agree with me that they would much rather spend a day amongst exotic animals than deal with irrational teachers.

4. Go on a walk

Honestly, anything is better than going back to school if we are being honest...

5. Pet a dog

I mean I think that we can all agree dog petting just about takes the cake!!

6. Go on a hike

Fresh air is always good! (and much better than being cooped up in the library for 24 hours straight!)

7. Go on a drive blasting music

This is definitely one of the best parts of summer! Getting to drive around town with your friends from home with the windows down. I would definitely trade it for going back to school.

8. Get ice cream

Ice cream is not only for the summer, it is a treat meant for whenever the heck you want! And I do not know one single person that would take school over the delicious frozen dessert.

9. Go shopping

Why spend money on school when you can spend it on a whole new wardrobe!

10. Go on a road trip

Get a few friends together, pick a location, get in the car and go! Some of the best memories are made by making spontaneous plans!

11. Go to a museum

Even if you are not a museum person, I am sure you would take that over going back to school! I know I would (and I am not really into most museums..)

12. Have a bonfire

Nothing says summer like a good bonfire with some good friends (preferably on the beach)

13. Sit in traffic

In the end I think we would all take almost anything over going back to school!

Summer is not over yet! Luckily we have a few more weeks of freedom so let's enjoy them while we can and make the most of them! Because I know in a few months we are all going to be wishing we could have these carefree moments back. Enjoy the rest of your summer! :)
