Disposable Cameras: Because Summer Goes By in a Flash

They say time flies when you're having fun, and summer is proof of that.

Somehow, the stretch between May and August disappears faster than you can catch it. One minute you're celebrating the end of school, and the next you're feeling chilly fall air and spotting orange leaves among trees that were green just yesterday.

The secret to making summer feel longer?

Use every moment. Live as much as you can during those few precious months, and plan to sleep in the fall (or when you're dead). And to make sure your future self has proof that you didn't let summer slip by unnoticed, collect evidence of your favorite memories as you go.

A disposable camera is one of the most fun ways to do exactly that. There's something incredibly exciting about taking photos without immediately seeing the results. It feels nostalgic, spontaneous, and way more thrilling than it probably should.

For every month of summer (May and August included, depending on how much of those months you count as summer), pick up a cheap disposable camera. Throughout the month, fill it with photos of everything: your friends, random adventures, late-night ice cream runs, sunsets, road trips, and all the little moments in between.

Carry it everywhere. Decorate it if you'd like. Take a few photos every day or use them all in one chaotic weekend. Whatever fits your vibe.

Then, when summer comes to an end, get your cameras developed and experience your memories all over again. You'll probably find yourself looking at a photo and thinking, "Oh yeah, I forgot about that."

And that's the best part.

You'll realize just how much life you packed into a single summer.

Because summer goes by in a flash, grab a disposable camera and start documenting it before it's gone.
