“In general, my summers are pretty lazy. But I think this year, I really want to just go to a bunch of amusement parks: Disneyland, SeaWorld, etc. I think it would be fun to just spend a week or so going to different parks with my friends and enjoying the fact that I do not have homework!” – Features Editor Katie Sweeney

“ My ideal spring break would be to spend it in San Francisco. I traveled there last December and it was beautiful. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to spend much time there since I was there to conduct an interview at LucasFilms, but we got to see a lot of the city and I fell in love. The atmosphere, the architecture and culture of San Francisco provide a sense of belonging. You feel so small in this huge city, yet you feel as if this is the place where all your dreams might come true and more than anything, you want to try. I’d love to spend more time there; I feel as if the adventures are endless.” – News Editor Melissa Martinez

“My crazy ‘summer’ vacation was when I took a trip to Ireland with my sister in the second week of the past fall semester, it wasn’t technically a summer vacation, but it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I could not resist. I felt like I grew so much in those 10 days and the fact that back home in the States my fellow Cougars were going to class, somehow made it even more fun for me. I hope to have more crazy adventures like that in the future. Everyone should go abroad sometime.” – Opinion Editor Jessie Gambrell

“The craziest thing I would want to do over the course of a summer isn’t really anything crazy, at least not to me. I would really just want to drive around all summer and attend a Major League Baseball game at all 30 major league team stadiums in one summer with my brothers and some of my closest friends, that is my dream summer.” – Sports editor Alex Franco

“Me and my friends went swimming in our high school pool at midnight and had a little potluck together. It was right before we all went back to school so it was really fun.” – A & E Editor Juliana Stumpp

“I really want to hit the club scene, mostly because it seems to be something that’s so out of what I’m used to. I don’t really mean just go crazy and go clubbing every night, but a few nights here and there seems like it would be a lot of fun. It would be nice to just let loose with friends who have been trying to get me to go for a long time. Might as well take the opportunities that would be available.” – Copy Editor Keandre Williams-Chambers
