Summer eventually comes to a halt, depending on where you live.

Here in the Pennsylvania area, it get’s chilly pretty quickly. School is quickly approaching and you are excited, nervous, and yet so sad that summer is coming to an end. There are some things that should said. Do not bring up old drunk conversations with boys/girls that you do not talk to anymore. Everything that happened in the summer stays in the summer. Also, make sure you tried to complete everything on your bucket list. Add anything you want to do for next summer. Never turn down. A good idea for the end of summer is an end of summer dinner with your friends at a nice restaurant. You can have closure on your summer and take your last yearly summer pictures with friends. Reflect on yourself. Think about what you have learned throughout the course of summer and what you wish you would have done differently. Learn from your mistakes. This is your chance to grow as a person. Besides relaxing, try to fit in any last minute things you want to do that you can only do in the summer or with good weather such as going to an amusement park or going camping in a tent. As they say “The summer gods are watching you-they know when you haven’t fulfilled your summer’s true potential.” Thank the ones around you for assisting you in having such an amazing summer. Be appreciative. Post throwback pics on instagram or twitter to share the memories and good times with friends.

Some people experience S.A.D when another season comes around which is Seasonal Affective Disorder. To stop from feeling sad, gloomy, and depressed. Keep motivated. Keep up with fitness workouts, stay focused in school, and keep friendships active. We all get in slumps but you can take simple steps such as following a motivational blog and download apps. Always keep a positive attitude and don’t point out negative aspects of things. A list I found on lifehack.org goes through 8 things you can do to stay motivated.
