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.

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. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. 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.
