Almost everyone has a pair of jeans they will never wear sitting in the back of their closet. This week, instead of allowing them to collect more dust, fashionistas can donate them to charitable cause and get a new pair in return.

How did I spend my summer 2011? I taught swimming lessons by day and explored Japan by night. My summer was filled with beautiful beaches, hot sun, and enticing new cultures and customs – all thanks to a program run through UC Davis called Camp Adventure Youth Services.

Water gun fights, food truck Fridays, parties with chimpanzees, celebrity sightings and a lot of time spent with a certain talking sponge. This summer, I had the opportunity to intern at Nickelodeon Animation Studio in Burbank, CA as an animation development intern.

For me, these past few summer vacations have been almost too much of a break from the stress of the academic year. The amount of idle time I’m left with typically leaves me to sit, pondering my life, thinking about what I’m doing with it and where it could go in the next year. By the time fall comes around, I’m always bordering on neurotic and more than happy to start classes and have something to occupy my mind again.
