Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Ambitious and determined, you can’t even think about summer plans until you get everything finished school wise. ACT, SAT, AP finals, regular finals….there’s just so much you feel the need to succeed at! And it’s great that you’re driven, but make sure to focus on other aspects of your life as the school year ends. Keeping those strong friendship bonds going on through the summer for example would be a good idea. Also you’re probably that person who has nothing to do during summertime because you’re also so focused on schoolwork. Maybe try to find a new hobby or pastime you can enjoy this summer.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

The last couple weeks of school are usually a breeze for you, considering your stress level is pretty much nonexistent.  With so many social events like Prom and Grad Parties, there’s just no room to care about the rest! Although, despite being the people orientated person you are, you should focus on finals and AP tests if you have them. Save all the social focus for summertime, and you can have all the pool parties and barbeques you want.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

While some people can’t handle the craziness of the end of the year, your energy and passion will carry you through till summer. You’re probably that person with a checklist, getting everything done from Prom shopping to studying for finals. When summer rolls around, you’ve probably already scheduled all your plans for hiking, biking, swimming, etc. Whatever you do this summer, there’s no doubt you’ll be outside and active.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

By May, you’re about ready to turn in the towel and set course for bumming around all summer. As commanding as you are, you’re probably ready to just be done with the school year. And while that’s understandable, you can’t give up at the last leg of the race! Keep going strong and by the time summer rolls around, you can have that pool all to yourself.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

You’re scrambling for control, probably trying to get in the last job application or cram in more study time before summer gets here. Being a leader, you’re probably also the one planning the end of the year social events for your friend group. Make sure to take a break once summer rolls around. It may be hard, but you’ll need to schedule some major relaxation time.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Summertime for you is all about adventure. Traveling, seeing the sights and not spending more than 24 hours at home is most likely what’s in store for you. Also, being a social butterfly you can bet nothing you do this summer will be spent alone.  As for right now, you’re trying to finish out the year strong because you genuinely are the kind of person who likes school.

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)

You’re excited for summer. Getting away from school and hanging out with friends and family without other peers or teachers in the way will be great. You’ll probably spend most of the summer watching movies and working on summer projects, though, so don’t forget to try and step outside of your comfort zone a little bit.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

As the school year is finally winding down you are unbelievably ready for summer. Vacations and pool parties with your friends can’t come fast enough! You really should have a schedule for your summer with all the plans you have, there will never be a dull moment this summer. So enjoy and party hard! But have a little relaxation time, you need to recharge before school rolls around again.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

As with everyone else, you enjoy summer but are probably more of a winter break person. Get excited! Almost three months off to soak in the sun, start a garden, and go on vacations! It’s a great time to rest and have fun with no more school worries. Don’t forget AP assignments but don’t mope inside all of break; go out and smell the roses and radishes in your huge garden!

Libra (September 23 – October 23)

All about balance, you’ll enjoy the upcoming summer break. A chance to relax and recharge your batteries, you’ll spend the first half vacationing and laying by the pool side and the other half working on AP assignments and possibly college prep (either as a junior or senior). But try to let loose and relax a little more than you’re used to; a bit of imbalance will do good!

Scorpio (October 24 – November 21)

Finally summertime is near! Although you hate the sun and warmth like a vampire, you’re ready to get away from all of the irritating idiots in your school and go have some fun. You probably won’t travel far, but you’ll definitely be making the most of your vacation before you have to go back to dreaded school. Deep breaths! Sweet freedom is almost here!

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Although school is coming to an end, you’re pretty excited. You will still have plenty of summer assignments for AP courses to work on but unlimited time to travel and explore! If you’re going on any trips it’ll be to great nature destinations or right here in our amazing state! Just be careful, for while camping and rock climbing are great summer activities, it is also a great way to get hurt, which would be a bit of a downer.
