The sun, backyard fun and of course no schoolwork to get you bummed. All these things scream summer vacation.
“My favorite part of summer is definitely the beach. I wish I had a shore house so I could live there each summer. My friends and I usually hang around my hometown or in Ocean City, New Jersey. We swim, bike and lay out in the sun. My plans are to work out and get fit for the fall, while I work for my brother,” Elizabeth Hammond, sophomore, said.
Students are bursting at the seams to be done with finals and be stress free. With only a week left who is not excited about having no eight fifteen classes in the morning?
Owen Johnson, a political science major said, “Well my biggest plan for summer sadly, is to work. I need money but I hope to get a road trip in there and some time at the beach. My favorite part of summer is just being free.”
Johnson and his friends have started going to Brigantine, New Jersey recently. Before he gets older world travel is definitely a must for Johnson, before the pressures of working a full time job set in.
Students have also been booking vacations with friends through Groupon.com. Groupon is a travel booking site that gives you great deals on getaways for large groups or even couples.
“I go to the Dominican Republic every summer. Zip lining is something I really want to do when I’m down there. My father, family and close friends take dirt bikes and ride all over the island. We stop at this lake to eat food, it’s a messy good time,” said junior Kenia Rodriguez.
Rodriguez also said, “My birthday on August 17th is the best part of summer for me. I would love to swim with the dolphins this year before my birthday.”
Hammond also said, “I would like to travel a lot more before I have a set career and can’t just leave as I please.”
“Last summer I went to California for two weeks and worked at Target. Don’t ever work for Target it sucks the life out of you, said Business Administration major, Kieran Kramer.
Thankfully Kramer is more excited about his internship this summer than he was at Target. He will be interning at a company called People Share in Media, PA. Kramer will work in their human resources department while balancing a part time job at Rita’s.
Kramer said, “There’ this place called High Rocks where this cliff goes off into a lake and there is a cool rope swing near by. I want to study abroad in the summer. I would like to travel more before I start my acting career, but a man can only dream, can’t he.
