Heeeeeere summer, summer.

For the TCU horned frogs there are six weeks until summer. In between that time there are papers, mixers, presentations, formals, exams, interviews, books to be read and shenanigans to be had. This summer I have the privilege of being an orientation leader and spending a summer with 22 amazing individuals as we welcome the new baby horned frogs. I have three goals this summer:  start and finish my book list (The Catcher and the Rye, The Fault in Our Stars, and many others, suggestions are welcome), watch all seasons of “30 Rock” and “Parks & Recreation,” and grow closer to my friends while helping the new horned frogs adjust to college life. As excited as I am for my “summer like none other”, my heart is currently full. I’m ready for summer but I am content to wait and enjoy these last few weeks.

So, whether you are a senior in high school or a senior in college, or even a sophomore like me just waiting to be able to call yourself a junior, hold off on wanting summer so badly. We have about 6 weeks to impulsively drive to Dallas for sprinkles thirty minutes before it closes or lay on our beds and have life chats when we know papers are due soon. Life is short and college is even shorter so be happy, hopeful, and most importantly be a horned frog.
