SAVE UP FOR A FUTURE VACATION
Don't give up on vacation dreams just because you're in classes now. There is a two week window at the beginning of August that summer students could use as the last option to escape Lawrence until Thanksgiving. Given the ever-rising cost of gasoline, summer students should begin planning and saving for that vacation now. You will have nothing but free time in early August when students who took the summer off are busy moving back in.
If you are looking to stay in the Lawrence area, consider camping. They might not be the most exotic options for Jayhawk fishermen, but both have nearby state parks that are perfect for the cooped-up outdoors type.

ENJOY THE FACT FEWER STUDENTS ARE IN TOWN
The flood of students leaving for the summer term means one wonderful thing for those of us who've stayed — no longer needing to elbow your way through a thick crowd to get to the bar. Take advantage of the smaller crowd and find a new bar to check out, especially if you can find one with a nice patio so you can enjoy some sun with that beer. Or, better yet, instead of going with the usual PBR or Bud Light, try a new summer drink like a Mojito or a Tequila Sunrise. The Sandbar, 17 E. 8th St., has a bunch of summer drinks to try such as a Hurricane, Bahama Mama or a Shark Attack.

VIDEO
Combat summer boredom by taking the opportunity to try out some new restaurants and new global tastes from the comfort of downtown Lawrence. Aladdin Café, 1021 Massachusetts St., offers up Mediterranean food. The fare at Global Cafe, 820 Massachusetts St., is even more broad — it serves breakfast food from all over the globe. It also serves sandwiches, appetizers and drinks from different parts of the world.
GET YOUR EAT ON AND CHECK OUT NEW PLACES
Even if you're stuck on campus, summer doesn't have to only consist of studying and going to class. Conside joining the Lawrence Ultimate Frisbee Summer League. It begins this week and ends Aug. 2. There's still time to join one of the eight ultimate Frisbee teams. Games take place every Tuesday evening at the Youth Sports Complex located at 27th and Wakarusa streets. The games usually start around 6:45 p.m. Steve Mock, commissioner of the league, said it costs $30 to join and players receive a T-shirt and disk. Anybody who is interested can contact lawrenceultimate@gmail.com for more information.

With a whole semester of classes crammed into eight weeks, summer school can get stressful. One "freedom day" a week can help prevent the negative side effects schoolwork has on your sanity. Want to work on your tan? Try the Lawrence Outdoor Aquatic Center. If you're looking for a summer treat, snow cones are also in season for a limited time at Tad's Tropical Sno, 939 Iowa St. Try the "Jayhawk" to show your loyalties. And if you prefer to spend your freedom day in a less social, air-conditioned fashion, pull down your blinds and tune into some TV. Hey, it's your free day. If you want to spend it on the couch, we're not judging you.
