What did you do this summer? Nothing? Thank God, because neither did I. Hopefully neither one of us will run into someone who \u201ctraveled\u201d or \u201cbettered themselves\u201d or, God forbid, \u201cwent to the beach,\u201d because I’m not accepting that energy in my life right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the event that you DO encounter someone like that, here are some things you can say you did this summer when they inevitably ask. This way you won’t have to explain that you actually just wore the same leggings and oversized T-shirt for three months straight while sitting in front of a fan, watching Riverdale<\/em> on Netflix, and scrolling through other people’s Instagrams with Cheeto-dusted fingers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.<\/strong>\u201cI went on vacation to Spain. Don’t bother asking where I stayed or what I did; suffice it to say I was in Spain at some point, and that’s as specific as I’d like to be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.<\/strong> \u201cI went to the beach, but specifically on days when you weren’t there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.<\/strong> \u201cI spent the whole summer going to music festivals. No, I won’t be telling you which ones. Please respect my privacy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.<\/strong> \u201cI stayed at our lake house, which is definitely a thing my family has.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.<\/strong> \u201cI fell in love with an attractive stranger who doesn’t go to our school and isn’t on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6.<\/strong> \u201cI went to the Grand Canyon. Did I bring back any souvenirs? No. Did I get any pictures? Also no.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7.<\/strong> \u201cI was at summer camp. Which one? Camp\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Summer. Tree? Yeah, Camp Summer Tree. That’s what it was called. It exists, but don’t Google it or anything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8.<\/strong> \u201cI went to an amusement park with friends. Which amusement park? Which friends? Six Flags, and\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Bob. I went with Bob, and\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Wendy. What, you’ve never met Bob and Wendy?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. <\/strong>\u201cI spent a lot of time kayaking on the river, unless you know a lot about kayaking, in which case I went mountain climbing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. <\/strong>\u201cI worked all summer at Dairy Queen. I would<\/em> go into more detail, but legally I’m not at liberty to discuss it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. <\/strong>\u201cI studied abroad. Where did I go? What was I studying? Sorry, I’m not accepting comments or questions at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12.<\/strong> \u201cI went mini golfing this summer. Yes, the entire time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
