10 Ideas For Those Boring Summer Days

We all love summer break but at some point or another, we all also start to get a little bored. I know when I have nothing else to do, I'm guilty of letting Netflix go on to the next episode one too many times. So when those long boring days pop up, here a few ideas so you get the most out of your time off.

1. Go hiking.

Google hikes in your area and you'll be surprised by all the hidden trails you had no idea about!

2. Have a garage sale.

Who doesn't like to make some extra cash? Plus, you finally get to get rid of some useless junk sitting around your house.

3. Plan a day trip.

Whether it be driving with no destination or going somewhere you've been meaning to go for so long, grab a friend and head out for an adventure.

4. Have a bonfire.

One of the best parts about summer. Get what you need for smores, put together a playlist and you're set.

5. Create a bucket list.

Even if you only check off five things, it's still fun to dream.

6. Get up early and go watch the sunrise.

Who said you even had to get out of your pjs?

7. Pool days.

The perfect summer day.

8. Go to a drive in movie theater.

You know you've always wanted to.

9. Go to some concerts or festivals.

It's an excuse to wear a cute outfit and hear some of your favorite music live!

10. Pick that hobby you used to love back up.

Whether a musical instrument or a sport, I'm sure you'll be able to pick it right back up!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.
