Finally college is over and everyone is starting to settle into their summer. There is one question that everyone is asking themselves though. What should I do this summer? There are endless possibilities that the warm weather brings you and your friends. So here are 10 ideas to help make your summer more fun wherever you go over the next four months.

1. Go to a music festival.

Summer is the best time to get together with a bunch of people and just jam out at a concert or music festival. It’s fun that can go on all night.

2. Road trip with your besties.

Grab some friends, hop in a car, and see where you go. Not knowing is the best thing and you can make memories with your friends that will last a life time.

3. Go and chill on the beach.

Pull out a towel and just lay in the sand, or go and jump and swim in the ocean. The beach is the perfect place for a summer getaway. It’s a place to just relax and catch some of those summer rays.

4. Have an all-day Netflix movie marathon.

Sometimes just laying around all day can be a good thing. Pull up Netflix and watch your favorite show that you’ve missed while you were at school.

5. Make a DIY day.

Take some time this summer and get crafty. Grab your friends and make a project that you can wear or something for your dorm room. See what artistic part of you comes out.

6. Do something you’ve never done before.

Doing something out of the ordinary can always be scary, but fun at the same time. Whether it’s trying a new food or a new sport or going skydiving it will be something you haven’t done before. Try it, you may surprise yourself.

7. Sleep under the stars.

Go on a camping trip that is somewhere beautiful. Take a few night and connect with nature with your friends. Sleeping under the stars is something everyone should do once. Plus who doesn’t love a campfire and s’mores?

8. Have a BBQ with all your friends.

Just get permission and don’t burn down the house. Get out the grill, make some good food, open the pool, and turn up the tunes for a fun night that everyone can enjoy.

9. Make every second count.

Do everything you possible can to make this summer count. Once it’s gone it can’t return which is the sad part about summer. Go on adventures with your friends, meet new people and try new things, and most of all just have fun.

10. Take a picture every day this summer.

Take a picture at the end of every day this summer to commemorate every memory you make. Make a Flipagram Instagram video at the very end to look back and remember all the memories you made.

The best times are with friends and when you’re doing something fun that everyone loves. Summer only lasts a short time, four months to be exact. So make the most out of it with every memory possible.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander.

But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
