For the record: Summertime and the Livin’ is Easy
Howdy, folks!
Cara D. here, former Campus Philly entertainment editor and your new editor-in-chief! After a semester away, it’s great to be back at 1515 Market Street while I finish my master’s degree in Writing Studies at Saint Joseph’s University.
Campus Philly will be sizzling this summer with a bunch of brand new blogs, including a new column by Jake Verterano called “Summer Survival.” As a student, I am so thankful for the down time of May through August (mainly because I can catch up on my sleep). But by the time July rolls around, I start wishing I had something to keep me occupied. Each week, Jake will be sharing a top 10 list of fun and interesting suggestions to fill your lazy days of summer.
So while you’re tanning on the beach or taking that cross-country road trip, pull up campusphilly.org on your iPhones and Blackberries. Please make campusphilly.org a hyperlink
And to the few hearty souls out there who are brave enough to take summer classes, don’t work too hard! Remember what this season’s about—good sun and lots of fun!
