Summer
No Time to Slack
We’ve all had those days, months, or years (for some people) where all we do is sit around the house doing nothing. It’s nice to have a break after all the end of the year tests and obligations are over. It’s nice to just relax and take a load off. But after a week or two of using the TV, video games, and the computer for your entertainment and staying up late, you start to resemble a zombie. At least that’s how I looked, with huge bags under my eyes. I bet my parents have expected me to raise my arms and charge them, moaning and moving very slowly.
It is not time to be cooped up inside. That is what we have to deal with during the school year; we don’t need to do it now. Go out and have a morning coffee with a friend downtown, in the afternoon go to the beach or the pool, and in the evening stroll around at the Swampbats game or get crazy at one of the contra dances in Nelson. This is the time of year that we get to break. Don’t waste it! Make this summer one to remember. Then when people ask you what you did last summer on the first day of school you’ll be able to say you did something rather than saying, “I didn’t do anything. Summer sucked.” You have to make things happen.
