The seven-year plan isn't that bad if you look at it from the right perspective. I mean, company Christmas parties are usually pretty lacking in the knowledge department, and that's the only thing close to being the business world's equivalent of a college keg party. So for those of you not graduating on time, make sure your distant relatives still send graduation gifts, and use those gifts to fund a summer vacation to Mexico like any innovative college student would do. Why rush into a mid-life crisis by graduating on time, when you can enjoy the spoils of being young and reckless, because once you're out of school, life is all downhill. The only perk to being out of college is making money.
Beaches are free, and swimsuits can be made out of almost any other article of clothing.
Unlike those cold winter months where a trip to the ski slopes costs half your life savings and the contents of your two favorite piggy banks, the only thing you need for a trip to the beach is a car and some gas money. Yet, for those of you stuck in town because your tightwad boss won't give you the day off, there are still barbecues. There's nothing better than sitting around just after the sun sets with a few of your best friends and a plate full of beer-marinated chicken, and don't forget those girls in the bikinis that you just met the night before. Yes, the real beauty of summer is that the heat somehow facilitates friendliness, and new friends can be found at almost every stoplight. The heat somehow kicks up everyone's hormones a notch, and suddenly you find yourself yelling out the window at some attractive stranger whom you would have shied away from without the help of the summer heat.
