The school year at Loyola University New Orleans officially ended on Friday, May 20, 2016. I was going to write this specific article about all the things that I would really miss about the semester and how completely empty/consumed with dread that I'm currently feeling about not having anything to do. However after writing the first line, I instantly remembered that I decided to take 12 credits of non mandatory course work for 8 weeks straight, agreed to do an internship, got a summer job on campus tutoring, am still working for Odyssey, have to complete the reading for my honors thesis (also not mandatory, so I don't know why I'm doing this either) and I have to plan and then execute a retreat for the the organization that I recently became chair of (I'll probably throw in some mentoring and volunteer work here and there, but we shall see how that goes.) Because I apparently hate relaxing and taking a break must be against my religious beliefs, my initial article idea no longer applies. So, here's a list of things that I probably could've done this summer but won't get to do because I'm allergic to free time.

1. Started a tea blog.
I could've made an entire blog about tea. Who knows? This could've been a gateway to a long and fulfilling career of me selling detox teas on Instagram.

2. Started a tea vlog.
What? I really like tea, and sometimes I'm too lazy to write.

3. Followed a daily fitness routine and maybe lose ---
Yeah, that was never going to happen.

4. Learned figure drawing and completed a series of nude self portraits in goofy poses.
Self love and selfies come in many forms, people!

5. Actually read the vast amount of books that I've collected* over the past few years and never got the chance to read yet.
*unnecessarily spent a lot of money on

6. Got a job at a bookstore so I can get a discount and buy more books that I don't have the time to read.
It's okay, I'm an English major (if that's not an excuse, then I don't know what is)

7. Finally write and complete a novel.
I have dreams, you know.

8. Start working on my book of poetry.
I have multiple dreams, you know.

9. Write a hard hitting article filled with dope research for Odyssey for you to read.
*breaks fourth wall*

10. Learn baseball terms so I can actually know what my boyfriend is talking about.
I love you, but it's like Greek to me. Scratch that, I think I may actually understand Greek better than I understand baseball.

Bonus: sleep until 4pm and then stare blankly at the ceiling until I fall asleep again.
