Ah, summertime: a glorious three months sans Ivy Fatigue that many of us choose to fill with classes and internships anyway. Be yourself! Live a little! are just two of the things on UTB's li'l checklist to help you make the most of summer. Third? Take a sec to admire this corgi's patience ?

Wherever you are and whatever you're doing this summer, here's the rest of that list:

  • Finish the episodes of 'Game of Thrones' you didn't get through during reading days
  • Father's Day is June 15th. Do something with that information.
  • Former freshmen: lose the 15
  • Penn '15: get vaccinated for senioritis
  • Check your grades, eventually
  • Start a new hobby. Like extreme ironing.
  • Stock up on surplus sleep hours so you can break even by the end of fall semester
  • Start a dream journal 
  • Discover something new about the city you're currently in
