Summer is here and college students are thrilled about the idea of no more finals, stress, and school. Instead those days can be switched with more sunny days, long nights with fun people, and of course sleep. But summer can mean so much more to a college student and here are some things that it can mean:

1.You can make your own coin

Having a part time or seasonal job allows us broke college students to somewhat stabilize ourselves. It may not be much, but it is definitely more than you had in your bank account at school.

2.You can see your friends

Sure you may have lost some home friends while at school, but the ones who stuck with you and listened to that 3 a.m. drunk phone call are the ones worth seeing. Spend time with those type of friends, so you can catch up on what is going on in life.

3.You can go to the beach

After a long school year, endless party nights, and emotional distress, it is time to go to the beach to just let go. Be by still waters and just relax your mind. Let the idea of summer soak in.

4.You can go on adventures

Now you have the opportunity to go on adventures. Either with someone else or solo. Be ambitious and explore something new outside of your dorm room.

5.You can focus on you and try to make yourself better

There is a season for everything. Summer means that you can get a different perspective on life while at home. It means you can learn something that college cannot teach you. It is the season to find yourself and find who you want to be, so in the fall you are a changed, beautiful person.

So take every opportunity summer gives you, because it will be worth it in the end.
