Hey guys! I know it has been forever since I last blogged, but wanted to come back to World of Me and type about summer. Ah, Summer! Relaxing, enjoyable, and all I have to do is lay around and, wait-
...
What do you mean my mom wants me to do math!?
This summer, and summers to follow, I know summer is a time to sit around and not HAVE to work, but it is actually really good to do math in the summer time, as well as read and practice for whatever foreign language you are studying in school. And though it sounds like a nightmare, it is COMPLETELY worth it in the long run, I promise. I am so happy I found some online programs so I can practice in the summer! For any of you who are interested, I know there are a lot of online math programs to try out, but I have a favorite that is completely awesome and completely free. Check out https://www.khanacademy.org/ and try Khan Academy. It is literally awesome with detailed videos to help you out. As for language summer practice, check out https://www.yabla.com and practice with Yabla ultimately any language! This one isn't free :( but is is REALLY exceptional and will help so your brain won't get language rust over these summer months. And reading practice, I have the best thing ever for you guys! *Insert sarcastic voice* Go to your local library, and pick up a book! Any book at all!  Trust me- I know it is a concept for this generation, but reading is the best way to improve and upgrade your vocabulario (See what I did there? I've been practicing my Spanish on Yabla) and it's authentically fun!
I know we all want to relax and there is plenty of time for that in the summer. But do a little practicing every day, just so that cerebro (brain) won't go getting rusty on you!

Practice away guys, but don't forget to enjoy those sunny days too! After all- it is summer!
