5 Things To Do Over Summer When You Feel Like There's Nothing Else To Do

There is usually nothing to do in the town I'm from. For goodness sake, my town is known for the world's largest corn maze. That alone should say, what the heck do you do? But surprisingly, you can usually find something to do.

No matter where you are, the beach is always a great idea. If you don't have the ocean, the next best is a lake. You can play sand volleyball, catch, spike ball, and even bring lunch with you. It's a great way to spend time with friends you haven't seen since last summer because of school.

Go To The City

Thankfully, Chicago is only an hour and half from me. This gives my friends and I always something to do! There's so many things to do in the city itself.

This one isn't too exciting but it's something to do! It's relaxing to just lay outside on a hammock and chill, especially with friends.

This wouldn't be on the top of my list, but it can be fun if you go with the right people. Camping is relatively cheap and it can be a good time.

There's just something about having a bonfire during summer nights that just feels right. My friends and I love to have a bonfire and hang out.

While these are only just a few ideas, there's so many more things to do when you feel like there's nothing else to do.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.
