After a season of lazy afternoons catching rays, taking dips and grabbing tacos… summer has ceased. But how can you focus on going back to school when you’re still smitten with your absolutely amazing crush?
With no classes, homework or practice on your agenda, it shouldn’t come as a shock that your connection with bae heated up faster than July asphalt.
But now it’s time to face reality...which means you have three choices: One, cherish the memories while refocusing your attention on new interests. Two, crank up the hope that their 300-watt smile will shine on you next summer. Or, three, transition your thing into a full-time fall relationship.
But which option is best for you? Let’s figure it out, based on the summer bae who’s on your brain…
