6 Reasons To Stay at College For the Summer

  • You get to more than likely live by  yourself 

Chances are your roommates will go home for the summer, leaving you in the house by yourself. It’s only been a few days of summer and I already miss my roommates, but I will admit I love having the house to myself. Nobody cares if I don’t wash my dishes after dinner, I can leave my towels in the dryer till I feel like folding them or I can leave all my bags next to the front door when I get home from a long day at work.

  • You’ll stay more focused if you’re in  summer classes  

If you are enrolled in summer quarter/ semester even if they are online you’ll stay more focused in your courses and more than likely get better grades! Got to keep that GPA up for graduation! Although it will be summer and warm outside, you will still be in your atmosphere that you’re used to being in during the school year for classes, rain or shine.

  • You get to still enjoy going home 

Sometimes after being away at college for nine months, going home to your parent’s house for the summer is a real wakeup call. Suddenly after having no clue what you’ve been up to for the last nine months your parents will want to know where you are. Staying at college for the summer still gives you your personal space and everything while still getting to enjoy going home for the weekends, holidays, family functions, etc.

  • No more lines or waiting on Taco Tuesday 

When you go out for Taco Tuesday or Dollar Beer Night the lines won’t be as long because most the students who fill up the bars every week have gone home to fill up their hometown bars. Take advantage of not waiting for your food or drinks as long all summer!

  • There are only 4 years of this lifestyle 

You only get to live in your home away from home for 4 years.  Where your friends are just down the street, you can go to events like dollar beer nights, not be consumed with only working at a corporate job, and you can wear sweat pants every day of the week and nobody is going to judge you. Stay at college and enjoy it!

  • You don’t have to feel like you’re missing  out by going home  

You won’t feel like you’re missing out on evening bike rides with your friends, going to the river on your days off, dollar beer nights, $5 burger nights, Taco Tuesdays, movie nights, drinking margaritas on your deck, all those fun summer activities you probably wouldn’t get to do at home working 40+ hours a week!

8 Reasons a Farmer Makes the Best Boyfriend

I’ll be the first to admit I’m biased about dating a farmer because mine happens to be pretty great. He’s hard working, smart, helpful, selfless, kind, and loving. Dating a farmer may be a little old fashioned compared to other relationships these days, but they are definitely worth it.

1. Farmers are Hard Working

Farmers are some of the hardest working people I know. They work long days until the crops are planted or harvested depending on the season without ever complaining. During harvest is when the farm makes all its money and they work from before sunrise till after sunset to make sure they have the best crop possible. Aside from working hard on the farm they work had in all aspects of their life.

2. Farmers Know How to Fix Things

Being a farmer means you have to learn to become mechanically inclined. Not only can they fix things around the farm, but they can fix things around the house too. When your tire goes flat, you can call them or when your pickup decides to break down, you can call them for that too. Chances are they’ve seen it before or something similar which comes in handy just about anywhere.

3. Farmers Work A Lot

No matter what time of year it is, there is always something to be done on the farm. Just because the snow falls in the winter doesn’t mean there aren’t things to be done in the shop. Trucks need to be serviced, combines need their oil changed, tractors need tune ups, etc. Then you have to seed, fertilize, skew tred, work the fields, harvest the crops, rework the fields, and repeat all over again. If you are a hay farmer then you’re hoping for at least three cuttings of hay, if not more. Because your farmer is so busy working they won’t notice if you take off for a girls weekend every once in a while!

4. A Farmer Has Values

Chances are your farmer boyfriend was raised in a small community with great values. They believe that hard work earns you a great life, they want to get married and have kids, and don’t want to play games. A farmer wants to make roots and settle down. You won’t be confused about what your farmer wants or needs in a relationship and all of this will be like a breath of fresh air after all the games you’ve played in the past!

5. Farmers are Incredibly Selfless

It is no surprise with the industry farmers are in how incredibly selfless they are. They will put everyone before themselves, their wives/ girlfriends, family, friends, animals, etc. Dating a selfless person is a sense of safeness, you never have to worry if you’re going to be put a priority or if your farmer will get everything taken care of. They know how to prioritize and if something at home needs to be handled then they’ll work hard to be able to not farm for a few hours even during harvest time.

6. Farm Life is Never Dull

Farm life is never dull! There is always something going on, even just on crop farms with no animals, tractors break down, implements malfunction, tires go flat, etc. You don’t ever have to worry about living a boring life when dating a farmer even if you don’t work on the farm yourself. Chances are you will get put to work in some way or another whether it be picking someone up from a field, running someone a new part when their broken down, etc.

7. Farmers Are Loyal

It’s no secret that farmers work a lot and when I mean a lot I mean it! When you date a farmer you know they are going to be loyal because with all the working and dating you, they won’t have time for anyone else. Aside from not having time for anyone else, they don’t want anyone else because they’ve been raised with great values and when they meet a good lady they are going to keep her around.

8. Tractor Dates

Your farmer may work 12-16 hours a day eight months out of the year so chances are a few date nights will be in the tractor! Who doesn’t love tractor dates?
