Smile 16 days and counting!

16 more days until I go home for the summer from college! I'm really excited... (as if you couldn't tell!) During the summer I'm going to complete an internship for my major at my mom's retail store so that I can graduate next May.
Mostly I'm excited because my boyfriend doesn't go back to school until the end of June, so we will have 2 months that we will be living in the same town! YAY!
We're going to go camping and he'll teach me how to fly-fish with the rod and reel I got for graduation from my grandpa

Anybody else excited for summer/ have plans for the summer?

Ah the good old days where summer was nothing but fun summer for me is just more work in hotter weather. Have fun though and enjoy it while it lasts.

Yeah, I'm ready for the summer. I'm at college, and I might be going home, I might stay in the Fraternity house. It all depends on where the most money is cuz I'm about to buy a new truck, so..... That's another reason. I'll be making a lot of money, so I get my new truck!! This summer should be good.

College, Spring Break, Summers Off.


Then responsibilities set in after it is all over. Man do I feel old. Enjoy it while you can because it won't be like that for long unless you marry a sugar daddy or sugar momma to handle all the money.

Good for you superspike. You are ok until you hit 45, then you start going downhill.

My son gets out on 5-7, we just can't wait to get him back home so he can lie around all day smelling up the place... Just kidding, he's actually a very hard worker & wants to make some $$$ for next year. We're really happy to be getting him back, it's pretty empty around here without him & his friends hanging around.
