6 Free Things To Keep You Entertained During Summer

School is out and summer is here, just like last summer I have returned home until school starts again. However, unlike last year, this time I am unemployed (my parents really love that part). To keep myself entertained before I go back to school and work in August, I've created a list of things that I want to do over the next 2 months that are (pretty much) free.

1. Deep clean

I need to clean. I need to clean my room, my car, my life -- all of it. Since I have LITERALLY not a thing to hold me back or distract me, I should be able to do this. I plan to donate a lot of stuff from my room that I realized I don’t need.

2. Blaze through my Netflix list

I definitely watched Netflix during the school year but now I can watch things without the guilt of an upcoming assignment. Also I can multitask and watch movies or shows WHILE I clean. Some things on my list are The Fall and Malcolm in the Middle.

3. Visit friends

Half of my friends live in the upstate and the other half live by the beach, meanwhile little old me is sitting in the middle, alone. Luckily with all of my free time I will be able to go see friends and keep in touch over the break.

4. Exercise?

Yeah the question mark is there for a reason, will I do it? Who knows.

5. Learn to cook

In my article, "9 Things I've Learned In College" I noted that I do NOT know how to cook. Now, with a family to cook for I’m hoping to work on my skills so I can feed myself this next year.

6. Get some vitamin D

I want to spend more time outside this summer since I have been stuck inside studying or working over the past year. Hopefully I can get a gentle (not burned) glow in the process.

All of these things can we done for virtually no money and I hope that I can get through all of the items on my list.

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.
