Think about it
The theme song for Idaho football should be “Miss Independent” by Ne-Yo. Guess why.

Milking it
Despite the fact that the majority of my summer has consisted of work and Pinterest, I’ve still found some time to enjoy friends, family and sunshine. I’m trying to milk that last few weeks for what they’re worth.

Ruby slippers
Minnesota has been a wonderful adventure, but I’m thankful it’s almost time to click my heels together and say, “There’s no place like home.”

Success
You know the summer has been successful if you didn’t starve and you aren’t getting divorced.

Thanks Thoreau
Even though this summer is flying by all too quickly, I’ll have to remember that “one must maintain a little bit of summer, even in the middle of winter.” Another year, here we come.

Make every moment count

Best parts about summer 2012
My cat letting me use him as a teddy bear and ice cream. You can never have enough ice cream.

Life lessons
Summer custodial work has taught me two things: How to thoroughly clean a toilet and exactly why I’m in college right now.

Smells like rain
I really can’t get enough of these summer thunder storms. I could spend the rest of my summers watching the lightning, sitting on a porch, listening to the thunder and rain and drinking tea.

Too much to handle
I cannot wait for this season of Vandal athletics to start. Bring on EWU in the dome and get this year going. Also, follow @madison_mccord, @PolarBear_theO and @kramdawgsean because we’re awesome.

Still uncooked
To all the staff of summer arg–you are splendiferous–especially my Co-Editor Kaitlyn. Thank you for saving my bacon at least a hundred times this summer. I greatly appreciated your concern when I was stuck in my apartment with the temperature set to broil. I am definitely a little more well-done than I was in June, but people like you are medium rare–at the least.

Senior shout-out
We only have one year left here, so make the most of it. It will be over before we know it. Stay up until sunrise. Go out on a Sunday when you have a paper due Monday. Try not to worry about your bank account balance. Quit putting off that coffee date you’ve been meaning to have with an old friend. Relax. Work is for people with real jobs — but that doesn’t mean you should wait until April to find one.
