Don't you love the way you start the summer off with all these optimistic plans with your friends? "We're going to the shore, like, every weekend," you swear. And you're going to read all those "classic novels" that you blew off in your English classes. And you're going to keep your room clean and go running every day. Then, before you know it, you're running around like a maniac doing this and that, going here and there, but none of those places are the shore and while you're running around, you're not actually running and you still haven't read a single sentence of Fountainhead. So maybe that's just me, but I swear, I'm taking my summer back! I am fighting the man, getting tan, all of this because I can! (Wow, I'm lame.) But let this be my solemn vowel that I will not let this summer be wasted just like the past five! Mark my words, and join me in my battle cry. Remember, they may take our lives...but they can never take our freedom!
