31 Ways To Avoid Boredom This Summer

Summer break are two of the sweetest words to every college students ears. No more projects, papers, or reading assignments for a whole three months (holla)! It's time for much-needed relaxation that turns to pure boredom within the first week of being home and starting to count the days until you move back. It's fun being home with your family and friends, but you start to miss all things about college. Being home boredom is much different than college boredom. At college, you have dozens of people that are minutes away whenever you need them. At home, some of your friends don't come home for the summer, they're working so you're left with being entertained by your cat or dog. So instead of letting those summer boredom blues get you, here is a creative list to keep you occupied until you head back to school!

1. Go hang out with your high school friends.

2. Read a book.

3. Binge on Netflix shows.

4. Re-paint your room.

5. Play with your dog.

6. If you don't have a dog, go to a dog park and play with other people's dogs.

7. Paint your mom's nails.

8. Teach yourself a new language.

9. Or just watch a foreign film and call it good.

10. Try to teach your cat how to walk on a leash.

This is actually more challenging and time consuming than you would think.

11. Go for a walk.

12. Go to the movie theater and watch whatever is playing next.

13. Go visit your grandparents.

14. Write a story.

15. Watch "The Bachelorette" starting May 23!

16. Clean your room.

17. Blog about how bored you are during the summer.

18. Start working out.

19. Teach yourself how to cook.

20. Go get snow cones with friends.

21. Go for a hike up a mountain. Or tall hill, depending on your region.

22. Become a master fisherman.

23. Memorize the periodic table.

24. Master the art of tae kwon do.

25. Find out how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop.

26. Discover a new species.

27. See how fast you can watch all 12 seasons of "Grey's Anatomy."

28. Become an artist.

29. Learn to knit and make sweaters for all your friends for winter.

30. Find a cheap concert of someone you've never heard of and go.

31. Practice your spying skills.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
