It's summer time. Over the next few months, there's no doubt that at some point you will run out of stuff to do. So, for your benefit, here are 27 things to do when you are bored this summer! You're welcome.

1. Write a short story.

2. Clean your room.

I mean, it's not interesting, but if you're bored enough...

3. Read a book.

Or five or six, depending on how bored you are.

4. Wash your car.

5. Or better yet, clean the inside of your car.

You know you need to.

6. Finally learn to cook a decent meal.

Not Ramen noodles, this is the big leagues.

7. Organize your closet.

8. Match all your socks up and get rid of the ones that don't have matches.

9. Watch your favorite movie.

10. Or, mute your favorite movie and recite all the lines yourself.

For me or anyone in my family, this would be "The Princess Bride."

11. Watch an entire series on Netflix.

I recommend How "I Met Your Mother," "New Girl," or "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt."

12. Train to run a race.

13. Organize your inbox.

We all know you have too many emails. Organize them into folders, delete your spam, and start fresh.

14. Make a scrapbook.

15. Write a letter to your grandmother.

She's probably worried about you.

16. Build a bonfire.

17. Call the fire department, your yard is on fire.

18. Have a movie night with your friends.

19. Color.

It's relaxing and you get to be artsy!

20. Go to IKEA and try not to get lost.

21. Go visit a nursing home.

You'd make someone's whole day!

22. Try birdwatching.

23. Lay down on your kitchen floor and pretend to be a crumb.

24. Look at the clouds and try to find shapes!

It may seem like something a kid would do (because it is), but it's still fun.

25. Try your hand at calligraphy.

Ha. Get it?

26. Google "baby animals" and click on Images. Trust me.

27. Tie-dye something.

There are kits at craft stores everywhere!


Have fun, and may you never be bored again. Happy Summer!

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.
