Things to do in Summer

Summer... oh summer.

      It seems so short since summer began and yet so long since I began my task to find jobs, internships, and trips to the beach just like any other average person. But its been pretty busy, the good kind of busy where your mind is active, where your body is engaged in exercise and where your soul have a chance to enjoy some summer peace before fall semester begin.

TO-DO List

      Even before summer heats (pun intended), people tend to get a bucket list ready to smash their hibernation with some heat. Some other people though, don't have a clue to what to do with their summer time. Based on what I did, I can at least recommend the viewer some suggestions and things to do for this heat-packing season. Or whats left of it.

      Even though I haven't even gotten halfway through (not because im a lazy bum) I have enjoyed what I have reached so far.

Made me want to pick it up...
then kick it even father!

Enjoy the random things of the city.

New York City never seizes to amuse me.

      Honestly, if I ever took my time walking through all the corners of every block in the city, I could come up with a photo album of weird, amazing and cute things in the city. It would be called, enjoying the random things in the city. Like this annoying orange I found at the train station. :P

Clean your closet

Keep someone warm by giving out what you don't use.

Hope somebody will stay
warm this coming winter.

      Make it a habit to clean your closet ever summer. Not only do you make more space for more clothes, but you also get to warm some unlucky random homeless out there.
      Have a heart, donate your undies... For all I know, I did my first clean up like in forEVER and ended up with the Himalayan mountain of unused old shirts in my living room.

Relaxing at the beach

You never know the true meaning of free worries until you leave everything behind except a towel, metrocard and a huge water bottle!

      I went to the beach and enjoyed the blazing heat of the sun and the ice cold ocean water. But in this particular trip to the Coney Island Beach was different -it was relaxing. I left my phone and wallet in my house and the only thing I took with me was my Metrocard and my keys.
      If you ever wanted to detach from society or the city, there is no other way better than this. It was nice and the only thing i had to worry about was nothing since I also didn't bring my watch. I can tell you, not caring about the time is one of the biggest reliefs you can ever experience. Especially if you're swimming with your girlfriend ;)

Meeting up with your old people

A person will always seem uninteresting until you make the effort to know them better. Who knows? He/she might be the next president of the USA lol

Glow Stick East side
Community Meet Up

      But other than fun, I also met with old acquaintances from which i party with. Couple weeks ago I went to this glow stick east side community meet-up.
      The whole thing was basically to teach each other how to freehand...that didn't sound..nvm, we taught each other how to rave and dance and etc. it was a nice sight since it took place on the High Liner at the Meat Packing District.
     IF you're invited to go somewhere, do it!! Summer is a great time to meet new people and figuring out which ones are worth sticking with! Especially if it is on the High Liner. The sunset over Jersey city was beautiful.

Getting a Job

Enjoy yourself, but earn it. Nothing comes for free..

Just because you got $,
doesn't mean you got
$ to spend

      Then again, for some people, the notion of summer is "fun and parties", but for others it is an opportunity to look for a job and make pocket money. I wish I could have gone back to my home country (Costa Rica) this summer, but I am naturally broke. So instead, I went to become a summer job slave to earn money for a winter trip back to the tropical country of my dreams. Not bad eh? Hah! Jk.. But for real. Life aint butterfly and rainbows, its more like a tornado and rainbows. With that said, nothing comes for free.

      I found a good place to work and intern. I've been learning quite a lot and enjoy what i do, which by the way should be something everybody should aim for. I have my thanks to Press Tea and New York Pharmacy for taking me in and work.

Go Mozart!

Summer Photoshooting for my shoes

Art will always be embedded into the natural human spirit.

      To much free time? Write your thoughts, a script, a book, poems, songs, etc. If you suck at writing, then video blog, photo shoot, paint. And if you suck at that too then play sports, keep your fat ass active.
     Go to the gym to get super disproportionately ripped and bully back that fat guy who bullied you in high school! Have a water fight, go to 9gag, actually not because as soon as you know it, half your summer is gone hehe.

Hang out with your crew!

Best things in life are your clumsiest, silliest friends.

Hamburg Reptile Show

       But what to do when you're both broke and unemployed and summer parties just became unfeasible option? You got your friends aaand the internet huehuehue... Nah but for real, i live with my siblings and try to live off what im earning. Its not easy, especially since bills don't discriminate seasons and just keeps on steam rolling over your innocent and already worn-out made-in-china wallet.
      Good Lord gave us friends to catch up during summer because we couldn't during the finals week of spring semester. 

Dating your couple. (or future couple) ;)

For me, a walk around the park with my lovely Bunz is good nuff.

Beautiful. Take your love out for a date. Doesn't necessarily means an expensive italian restaurant with a forty year old wine. A walk around her block, to the park or to the beach is good enough. A date here is meant to be to invest time to the person you care about.

There is so much more to do in summer. Visit your grandparents or whoever you consider family. Im telling you, summer works wonders and for a season of free time like this, take advantage of it. At least I can get pocket money out of productive activities, which will lead me to free meals, which will result in utmost satisfaction. lol

I'll be done for now because im starving for my breakfast! Like this orangutan!

That rage when you're so hungry you eat the peeling and drop the banana.
