10 Things To Do This Summer When You Get Bored

If you don't have any plans this summer or if you don't know what to do with all of the free time you have on your hands now that school's out, check out this list and get out there and make some fun summer memories:

1. Start a vlog.

Catalog your summer adventures by vlogging what you do! It's always fun to capture your adventures and special moments, and you could even start a YouTube channel and post your vlogs there to share them with the rest of the world! And, who knows, maybe you'll get a following and become a big Youtuber! Anything can happen, so pull out your camera and get vlogging!

2. Go to the beach or lake.

Summertime is for swimming! So, if you've got a body of water near you, whether that's the ocean, a lake, or even a pool, get over there and get swimming, kayaking, or work on your tan!

3. Find a new TV show to watch.

Summer is the prime time to binge! You have three months to watch all the TV shows you put on your queue and waited to see while you studied for finals! Here's a list of 12 awesome TV shows you can get started this summer! Check em out and get in your TV time, you've earned it!

4. Explore your city.

Unless you live in a very small town, there are likely parts of your city you've never seen before! If you do happen to live in a tiny city, take a drive to the closest metropolis and wander! Drive around, see the sights, eat at a restaurant you've never heard of, and take lots of pictures! It's fun to live out of your element and to see and try new things, so get out of your house and try as many new things as you can this summer!

5. Go to the movies.

There are SO many amazing films that are coming out this summer, so you've got a ton of options! Here are a few to get you started:

1. "Aladdin" - May 24

2. "Rocketman" - May 31

3. "Dark Phoenix" - June 7

4. "Men in Black International" - June 14

5. "Toy Story 4" - June 21

6. "Spider-Man: Far from Home" - July 5

7. "The Lion King" - July 19

6. Go to the gym.

It's never too late to get started on your summer body! Take advantage of the beautiful weather, and get outside and be active!

7. Hang out with your friends.

Some of us are lucky enough to live near our friends from college, but others have to leave their friends at home to go to school or leave their friends at school to go home! So if you don't have many (or any) at home, then go out and make some new friends! And if you're lucky enough to have friends with you wherever you are this summer, then pass the time hanging out with them, whether you're all just doing nothing with each other's company, going on a late-night drive, or having a party!

8. Visit a museum.

Odds are, there's definitely a museum of some sort nearby, so take the opportunity to go and visit it! Whether its art, architecture, or something more abstract or quirky like the Museum of Ice Cream or Museum of Selfies, go and see for yourself! You may learn something, see new art you fall in love with, and get some fun pictures for the 'gram!

9. Take a class.

Yes, I know summer is the time to relax because we are all finally out of school, but if you've got no plans, it can be fun to take a class at a local community college for fun! Look into culinary classes, or maybe something artsier like ceramics or oil painting! It's a fun way to keep occupied over the break, and you'll have fun doing it!

10. Go to a concert or music festival.

Live music is one of the best ways to pass the summer! There are hundreds of concerts across the states and plenty of music festivals too! Here is a list of concerts, and here is a list of festivals! Find one that's near you and see if you can go!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
