This summer, I learned how to shoot a firearm. Typically that wouldn't be too daunting, but considering I'm a pacifist nerd who does not really have a strong barrier of muscles- it was difficult. My grandfather, my father, and I drove out to a deserted country road (safety first, mind you) in Kansas. If someone had taken my pulse, it most likely was skyrocketing as I lifted the twelve-gauge shotgun to my shoulder. I took a breath and squeezed the trigger. It fired and about ten minutes later, I had a gigantic bruise on my shoulder. Definitely a memorable summer.

Report cards handed out
All homework thrown away;
Sprinting down the school steps
Relieved it was the final day.
Two and a half months
For summer plans, vacations, and fun;
Do I want to experience anything special?
Or just get my Tok-haar Kal done?
I could take a chance at skydiving
Or experience a safari in Africa;
Or maybe I should stay in my room
And finish my POH statue replica.
Vacations over, school started
And I didn't go anywhere to escape;
I felt carefree and energized though
Since I unlocked my Completionists Cape.
Thanks for reading!

This summer I deployed to the Middle East. Although this is not most peoples ideal summer I took it as an adventure and it truly has been. I’ve learned so much about other cultures and even learned a few things I did*’t know about myself. There have been good days and there have been bad days. On those bad days I usually find myself getting on RuneScape to relax and take my mind off things. My summer goals are to make it back home in one piece and as a better, stronger person.

i would say my favourite summer memory was going to Los Angeles with my family. I saw my cousins, aunts, uncles, and my grandparents who we didn't see in a very long time and had a fun time with them. It was very fun of when i went to universal studios and disneyland as we went on a lot of rides and ate delicous things. we had a very fun time having a tour through LA and how its like so this trip was my favourite summer memory.

Last summer a friend and I decided to play a game called frisbee tag.
It was his turn to be "It" so I dodged his first throw, and I see him sprinting as fast as he could towards the frisbee.
I waited for him to pick it up and throw it, but then I see him slip. Now, the way I saw him slip I knew it was dog doody he slipped in, but I wasn't 100% sure until he stood up and said "AWWW DUDE!!"
There was a poop stain on the back of his jeans. . . End.

As for my summer stories they are of the old days. A few years ago I remember my friends and I were having a midnight campfire, with all the assorted goods like hot dogs and marsh mellows! On that night we decided to start the typical "Truth or Dare" within our small group. Somewhere along the line, one of us decided to "dare" everyone to jog through the field and jump into the pond about 100 yards away. We all darted off as fast as we could, running through the high grass with a few thorn bushes here and there. Then, at last, we all arrived at the pond. Instead of instantly jumping in, we all counted down! 1...2...3! *Splash* we jumped into the mucky and dirty pond. After splashing around in the dirty water for a while we all ran back to the fire so we could dry off. But the fire was almost dead by the time we arrived, and none of us felt like gathering extra firewood. So we called it a night and went back inside for the night. That would be my favorite summer story. :)

Hey guys,
As Salubrious was saying, make sure that your entry is 100 words or less so that you can be in the running to win the prizes! I know it would be unfortunate to have a great post and lose just because it was a tad-bit too lengthy and you could have edited it.
Cheers!

This summer I am ill. I have been laying in hospital and at home for the last 4 months. Occasionally I get to play Runescape for a little. It always makes my mood up at least slightly. I go in the desert and pretend I'm outside in the sunny lovely weather where I cannot go. Today I went magnetic resonance imaging. I felt scared. After it started I thought I would imagine something to make me feel better and as I am under fairly strong doses of pain killers it makes it at least easier. But the noises where so scary and loud it was very hard. But in the end I remembered the elemental workshop quests, where too I image noises scary and loud in fact quite similar to the magnetic resonance imaging machine. As my hour in the machine went by, I managed to feel at least slightly better. But seeing the machine and all the safety precautions was one of the scariest moments in my life, apart from when the doctor was explaining what my illnesses where. :(

AHHH dang. I misread it as (100 words or more). I'll leave the story up because I spent so much time on it haha. Even though I'm disqualified :/
One summer, when I was a senior in high school, my family was going on a cruise. My grandparents were having their 50th wedding anniversary and they did not want to deal with planning the trip so in exchange for being allowed to come for free they let my parents do the planning.
We ended up choosing a cruise around the Mediterranean Sea(We are American so this was a once in a lifetime opportunity). This cruise wasn't quite so touristy. Most of the passengers were actually European, but long story short I ended up meeting this American girl. We bonded quickly seeing as we were part of the minority of people from the USA. Even though my family had planned for us to be off of the boat nearly every second it was docked we still found time to hang out nearly every day of the cruise.
On the last day she gave me her number expecting me to never call back because, well, what's the point? There's no way we could work out seeing as we met in Europe and probably lived thousands of miles apart.
Well I cared about her so I called and left messages(I got back to America two days before she did so I sent a few texts and left a message before she was able to get non roaming service on her phone). It turned out we actually lived very close to each other. How the topic never came up on the boat, I know not, but when she got back and saw the messages from me she said it was the happiest moment of her life. Next to the moment she found out we lived near each other.
It is now 7 years later, and I am now happily married to this girl. That was the best summer of my life. that one cruise we decided to do has changed the course of our entire life. You never know what your summers can hit you with, but this, and the fact that Jagex is giving out 1 shot kill items, proves that anything is possible! :D
