I won't go any further than that, but as you can see this summer boasts to be one of transformation and flowering of a millenial kind, achieving your goals will come quickly, but don't forget what it means to stay sharp and focused. Traditional ideals will be challanged but not destroyed, only reinforced with modern ideals that want only the best.
