10 Things To Do When You're Bored This Summer
Todays Parent

1. Sleep

Sleep is the number one thing to do when you come home for the summer considering all the high intense studying you put yourself through in the school year. Sleep through a day and you will find yourself thoroughly entertained by your dreams.

2. Swipe through Tinder

After waking up from a long slumber, grab your phone and check up on all your notifications. If you are still bored then swipe through tinder and hopefully find a summer “boo thing” you can have wild thoughts about. (Apparently Rihanna having a Saudian prince is having a big impact on all the ladies for the summer)

3. Meet up with friends

Meet up with your old high school friends and see how fake they have gotten. Seeing them again will make you realize how much you want to go back to college. So make sure you pregame for the meet up and watch how everyone attempts to act their coolest in front of you. Try not to laugh, it’s offensive (This is from personal experience).

4. Binge watch Netflix

Watch a marathon of ‘Law and Order’ and other movies while stuffing your face with junk food. It can be an entertaining and time filled thing to do for the day. When there’s an awkward pause between scenes look at yourself hard in the reflection of the laptop or television screen and ask yourself “are you really living summer if you look like trash while watching Netflix?”

5. Read an inspirational book

Reading books that cover topics such as “How to be Successful” or “How to Stay Motivated” can consume your time and can educate you on being motivated while ironically doing nothing but reading the book.

6. Make new friends

Since your old friends suck, try going out to bars and clubs or even a local coffee shop and spring a conversation with anybody. Who knows if there’s a cute boy or girl to meet or a dope friend you can do fun adventures with.

7. Go to Parties

Parties are often something to do to make yourself forget about how much your summer sucks. This is a go to place to make friends and to show off on your snapchat stories to appear much cooler than you actually are.

8. Go on Vacation

Can’t afford a vacation you say? Same, so I take vacations from app to app on my iphone. Sometimes I take a vacation in my dreams. It saves money. If you can afford vacations, screw you.

9. Start Drama

Start a fight with someone or create drama with that summer fling. It will be painful, but hey at least it’s something to do and talk about. The more drama you have with your family and friends the more motivation there is to go out and distract yourself.

10. Workout

This is the most important thing to do since you want to show off to all your college friends how fit you’ve gotten over the summer. Drink water, eat well, lift heavy. GET THAT BODY RIGHT!!!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
