5 Underrated Summer Things

When the Summer rolls around, everyone wonders what they should do with their time. Some choose to work everyday, others choose to live their summer up to it's fullest extent, and others just go with the flow. If you're ever in a situation where you don't know what to do with your time, here's a couple of cool ideas.

1. Sit outside

More time out of the year than not is spent inside. When the colder months roll around, you can't wait until summer so you can spend time not cooped up inside, however we usually forget that when Spring/Summer roll around.

Take a walk, a jog, just sit on your porch, take some time out of your day to just take a breather and enjoy the outdoors.

2. Hit up the beach

If you're anything like me, you've been doing this even when it was snowing outside (perks of being a Long Islander). However, now you can go and actually leave your car and catch some rays, work on that tan and all.

Even if you don't like the ocean I believe you should go to the beach anyway. Why? Beach= great summer vibes.

3. Go on an adventure

During the summer, you have the freedom to do as you please. Go on an adventure, try something new. You don't have to plan everything you do three weeks ahead of time. Sometimes it's good to just go wherever the wind may take you.

4. Find the "pretty" spots

This is not limited to just places. Finding the "pretty" spots is to find the insta worthy spots. Sunsets, cool foods, fun times, all that good stuff.

5. Take time to breathe

We often forget throughout the year to take a step back and relax. If you're in school, exams and other school-like drama often eat away at you and stress you out more than you'd like to admit. If you're working full time in the summer yes that too is stressful, but take a breather from constantly being tested on your knowledge of material while you can.

People forget that the summer doesn't have to be about the big things, or the little things, it can be about anything. That's the beauty of summer, you don't have to have a set plan.

Take a step back, and enjoy everyth9ng.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. 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.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
