In the last week, Boston has seen a big change (better late than never) as the weather has finally changed from the winter cold to a sunny spring. With this nice weather on the horizon it can only mean one thing for BU students. Summer is just around the corner. Here’s a few ways for everyone to occupy their summer before classes are back next fall.<\/p>\n
1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b>Read a good book<\/b><\/p>\n
Whether you are on the beach or in bed, a good book is always a great way to escape for a few hours. Here is a list of some of my favorite books (I included a wide variety of genres!):<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness<\/i> by Susannah Cahalan<\/p>\n
Catch 22 <\/i>by Joseph Heller<\/p>\n
Scar Tissue <\/i>by Anthony Kiedis<\/p>\n
The Other Boleyn Girl <\/i>by Philippa Gregory <\/i><\/p>\n
Gulliver\u2019s Travels <\/i>by Jonathan Swift<\/p>\n
The Fault in Our Stars<\/i> by John Green<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b>Catch up with old friends<\/b><\/p>\n
Summer is the perfect time to catch up with your friends from high school. My group of friends and I try to make the most of summer with weekly dinners, trips to the beach, and just spending quality time together!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b>Internships or summer classes<\/b><\/p>\n
Gaining experience in a career field or industry is the best way to find out whether you enjoy a certain career and a crucial step in standing out during the job application process.<\/p>\n
Summer classes are another great way to utilize the summer months. Completing a class over the summer not only allows you to put your full concentration on one subject but it also lessens the amount of stress during the fall and spring semesters!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b>Explore the closest city to you<\/b><\/p>\n
One of my goals for this summer is to venture out to New York City more. I live about an hour outside of the city but I rarely make the trip in. This summer I want to check out some of the city\u2019s delicious restaurants, visit the museums, and enjoy the lively atmosphere of the big apple!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/b>5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b>And most importantly\u2026 RELAX and enjoy the WARM weather!<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Whatever your summer plans may include, make sure you enjoy every second of it because before you know it you\u2019ll be back in Boston for fall semester!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
