5 Last Minute Things To Do Before Summer Ends
Ethan Robinson

When I started to think about what I wanted to write about this week for my Odyssey article, I realized that today is August 1st! The summer has definitely flown by! I feel like I just finished with classes in May, but my summer has been filled with studying for the MCAT, taking the MCAT, and taking summer classes as well. So, my summer was definitely not a complete break. However, many students are doing what I am! I only have one more week left of my genetics class and trust me when I say that I am counting down the days! Once my class does end, I have a couple week before the official first day of classes and I want to make the most of that little time that I have!

1. Go On A Trip



My family and I are going to Arizona so I am looking forward to lounging around the pool! This time is a great way to give yourself a much-needed break and to go have fun!

2. Finish Miscellaneous To Do's



These miscellaneous items can be difficult to get done especially if you have had a busy summer. Whether it would be doctor appointments, cleaning, finish applications, or whatever else!

3. Work



For some people, these last few weeks may be filled with busy work schedules to make some extra money before the start of school. Those books for classes are definitely not cheap!

4. Hang Out With Friends



Before people head back to school, this can also be a great time to hang out with hometown friends before you all head back to school!

5. Spend Time With Family



This is also a great time to spend some last minute quality time with family before your hectic year starts!

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
