Beating the heat at UT Tyler

Summer is rapidly approaching us here at the University of Texas at Tyler.  The past couple of weeks have seen temperatures as high as 95 degree already! Some people love the warmth of summer, but I cannot stand the heat and humidity.  Rather than embrace the heat, I prefer to find other things to do things that will avoid the boiling temperatures.  If you are like me, keep reading to get some new ideas on what to do during the summer to have fun while still avoiding the heat!

UT Orientation Leader 2014!!!

     It's that time of the year again!! Orientation season is upon us! Orientation is part of the new student program here at The University of Texas at Tyler.

Keep Calm UT Tyler. It's Almost Summer

   Finals week are at full swing this week at UT Tyler ! Even though it's not quite summer yet, I wanted to share some of the things I am excited about for the summer!

1. NO SCHOOL! This is actually the first summer since Sophomore year of High School that I will NOT have summer school .

2. Florida: My family and I are going on vacation to Florida, Universal Studies to be exact! I haven't been to

Florida since high school. It wasn't a great experience for me at all! Unfortunately, there was a storm that came a day before we flew in. As you can guess, it wasn't a pretty site at all. There we're sea weeds everywhere that the storm brought in! It also became a little bit chilly.

 3. Diagon Alley :  For all my fellow Harry Potter fans, Diagon Alley opens at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter! AGHHHHH!!!:)

4. Transformers: The Ride 3D and Despicable Me Minion Mayhem are other attractions I am excited about! Oh yeah, back to being a kid again!

5. Lounging: After a semester of constant studying and stress for the nursing program, I am ready to just lounge and not do anything for once! Catching up on shows, sleeping in late, tanning by the pool... oh yes, I. AM. READY!

    These things are what's keeping me going and pushing through finals week. Just a couple of days guys and WE WILL BE FREE!!!!
