This just so happens to be my first complete week home from school. I can't believe another year has gone by and I am an up and coming junior in college. High school seems so far away but at the same time still close. This may be caused by continued friendships and social media where I can see what everyone is saying and doing.

So many people go into their summers vowing that this one will be better than the last or the best one yet. For the most part your summer is what you make of it.

• If you want to go to the beach, go. Plan the trip with friends and even family and make it happen.
• Want to read the latest book you haven't had time to pick up? Visit the nearest bookstore, find the perfect reading spot and get lost. Get one of the many Best Seller's List and take your pick.
• Have been telling yourself that you're going to work out and get in shape? Have you been procrastinating? If your answer is yes it's time for you to get up off of the couch and hit the gym. Can't make it to the gym? Use what you have at home. Put on some music and dance! It burns calories and if you're doing it right you can even tone your body. What do think Zumba is?
