27 Things To Do When You're Bored This Summer
Gainesville Scene

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!

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.
