Going Once! Going Twice! Sold (to school and reality)!

It's August!

As all the tweets during 12:01am of August 1st said... this month is the month that school starts. It's the last chance to do all those fun summer things we didn't do all summer.

Here are some of the things I enjoyed doing over summer that you can consider doing before summer ends...

Silly String Fight: 1) Buy a couple of bottles of silly string from the dollar store, 2) Grab a couple of friends, 3) Go crazy! We had a huge silly string fight at TD's party and it was a lot of fun! It was so much fun that we did it at home with my brothers. Make sure to do it outside and clean up the silly string afterwards. The silly string does stain when it's wet, so don't sit on it! It will come out with some hard scrubbing and Tide though!

Tie-Dye: I did tie-dye several times this summer (well 2, but still!). I love the tie-dye kits at A.C. Moore and tie-dying is that activity where I love doing it more than I love the finished product. It's so much fun to do with some friends and good music. The worst part is waiting to see your creation!

Day Trips: Whether you're going to the zoo, beach, amusement park... day trips are always fun. Again, the more, the merrier! Going to the zoo with my friends was one of the most memorable days of my summer.

Summer Camp: Well I was a summer camp counselor, but volunteering / working at summer camp is the best experience of summer! As one of my favorite summer camp counselors said, "It's not summer without summer camp!" Volunteering at summer camp is much more fun than restacking books at the library, and it's a great way to earn a lot of hours!

Driving Around Town: One of my favorite nights was just cruising around town with JSC in her car. We stopped to talk in a Walmart parking lot and just talked all night. It's so much fun and there's something special about driving and talking with the radio in the background.

Going to the Pool: There's nothing I love more than the pool. Is it truly summer without tanning, talking and the occasion dip in the pool?

What I wish I did:

Summer Concerts: Is there anything better than summer concerts? No. Well I've never been to a summer concert, so I can't speak with experience. I really wish I went to Jack Johnson and Vampire Weekend this summer!

Crafts: I did do tie-dye, but I wish I did more crafts! Here are some crafts from Pinterest I love!
