It could be really annoying being home for the summer and having nothing to do on your day off. But, it is even worse when you can't figure out what you want to do in that spear time. You only have four months home and have lots of time for adventure and open opportunities. Life is so much better when you are trying new things and waking up not knowing what the day has in store for you. So, here are a couple of things to do over the summer when you can't think of anything.

1. Go for an early morning run on the beach.

Nothing is more energizing knowing that you are waking up and getting some exercise in.

2. Bake or cook something completely new.

Even if the recipe seems sort of complicated, just give it a try. You never know

3. Go explore the closest city near you!

I am lucky enough to have NYC right in my backyard and you there are always new things going on.

4. Explore Pinterest.

Make a DIY project and make a day out of it! I mean who doesn't love shopping around in Michael's anyway?

5.Binge watch a new T.V. series that you didn't think you would like.

You would be surprised as to what catches your eye.

6. Sell stuff on Ebay.

Ok, I know this doesn't sound like fun. But, if you clean up your room, you could find some really great things that you can sell and plus it is easy money.

7. Go to your local farmer's market.

Even if you aren't big into cooking it is cool just walk around!

8. Go to a baseball game!

I mean hey, it is America's past-time.

9. Take yourself shopping!

It is good to treat yourself every once in awhile so why not!?

10. Read a book!

Whether its a book series or just something you have been dying to read, go escape into another world with a new book.

11. Redecorate your room!

Change up your bedroom with some new sheets and pictures to keep it more updated.

12. Go out to a new restaurant!

Eat food that you have never eaten before and that is totally outside of your comfort zone. You may surprise yourself.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
