You don’t even have to pay if you don’t want to there are ways to sneak into the campground which is easily the best part of the whole ordeal.

You will have to go see the movie again because you won't remember any of it, but it is worth it.

wow, that all sounds really awful

- Go to the bars that you wouldn’t normally go to, have a summer beer each and every time you go out though and it has to be from RAB
- Eat at each and every restaurant you can, and be sure to go to the little grill
These two are my favorite things about summer in Manhattan.

Man. Pretty amazing list.
I would add/change...
don't call frisbee golf frolf.
Go to Lawrence for a day/night and get silly. Could come in handy later if you meet someone from ku..."yeah, I got kicked out of Louise's once..."
Home run derby on yellow. I mean Pluto? Come on.
Don't just fish at pott2, camp there too. Even if it's just blankets and a pillow on a picnic table or something. Also explore while you are there. Trails, etc at the entrance right hand part.
Try to barbque stuff on a grill. Very few college peeps know how. Ribs, pork loin, etc.
If you rent a house, you must and I repeat must, buy a $150 dollar four foot deep by twelve feet across pool with filter, stairs etc. Buy a thing to test levels, etc. And stuff to keep the levels good so it doesn't turn green. Have a couple friends/roommates pitch in if needed and then invite people over. You can fit about four people all laying on rafts. Much more without rafts. Have people over early (tan time) and late (after hours).
Maybe more to come. Great start to a great thread though.
-
If you're a musician, having a jam session on your porch/patio during a summer night is the best jam session you'll ever have. And it doesn't matter how late you make it because there's literally 7 people in town and they probably don't live close to you.
