Summer is just around the corner. For us college students, this means freedom from the classes and the homework, but the sad goodbyes to our best friends for three long months. Here are a few ways to help you make it through the long days of the summer 2016 daze.
1. Get a Job
I don't want to sound like your mom here, but what better way to pass the long days than making money? Save up during these months, and you won't have to work as strenuous of hours during the school year. You could even score a summer job such as nannying and make $10 an hour laying out at the pool.
2. Plan Trips to See Your Friends
You may have to move back home and be away from your besties for three months, but that doesn't mean you can't see them at all. Buy tickets for a concert in July and drive hours to see each other. Chances are, it'll be like you never left.
3. Become a Camp Counselor
Similar to getting a job, but on a whole other level. Getting to spend week after week with other staff members, leading your cabin, and getting to do great summer activities... who wouldn't want that? It may not turn out to be as glamorous as Camp Rock, but hey, you might fall in love with your Joe Jonas anyway.
4. Get In Shape
You could watch an entire series on Netflix in a record time, or you could make your record time running the mile. Staying in shape in college is tough, so use this abundance of time to do yourself some good! Lace up those shoes and head out into the sunny weather!
5. Hibernate
Quite the opposite option compared to the others, but hey you've got nine months of sleep to catch up on! Get comfortable in your bed, watch hours upon hours of Netflix, read Odyssey articles, take internet quizzes, and get your z's on.
Finally, Have a great summer y'all!
