The semester is over and it's finally summer. You have a couple months off from school, so make the best of it. Here are a few ideas to get you started so you're not sitting around bored!

Having a bonfire is always fun. Don't forget to make s'mores!

Camping can be fun and is also relatively inexpensive. It's like a mini-vacation.

Look up concerts near you and grab some friends and go enjoy some music.

7. Go to a festival

If you've never been to a festival, I highly recommend going to at least one! It can be a two-day festival or a weekend long camping festival-but both will be a great time.

8. Find a carnival

Something about carnivals is just so nostalgic.

Late at night when there's nothing to do, driving aimlessly and blasting music with friends can be such a good time. You never know what interesting places you'll find.

12. Work

Make money and save it up with a summer job. Some places have nice employee discounts too!

13. Take a mini road trip

Road trips with friends are such a good time. You tend to end up becoming closer with these friends when you basically live with them for a little while-even if it's in a car.

14. Plan a vacation

If you can go on a nice vacation this summer, do it. Explore a new place and relax.

15. Go swimming

Unsplash

Find a pool, beach, or even hot tub and enjoy the weather while you can.

16. Check out nearby cities

Unsplash

It could be a small town or a big city, but check out a new place you've never been to.

17. Meet up with college friends

Unsplash

Meeting up with college friends over the summer is great. You can catch up on everything, and you're able to hang out with people you thought you might not see for a couple months.

18. Visit family

Spend time with your family while you're home.

19. Go see a movie

Check out that new movie you've been dying to see.

20. Or go to a drive-in

Drive-ins are an even better version of movie theaters in the summer, and they're nostalgic too.

21. Catch a sunrise or sunset

Unsplash

Wake up early and find a nice place to watch a sunrise. There are some beautiful sunsets during the summer that you should take time to watch and just relax.

22. Go shopping

Unsplash

I'm sure you'll want to buy some new clothes over the summer. This one is a good idea to do on rainy days too.

23. Plan out your schedule

Unsplash

Plan out your schedule for summer or even for fall. Get ahead so you'll be more organized later.

24. Try a new sport or activity

Unsplash

Find a new sport or activity to try. You might find out you're actually good at it.

25. Play mini golf

Putt-putt can be a fun activity for families, friends, and couples.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to.

Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
